Global Seafood Dishes Knowledge Quiz – From Sea to Plate
Seafood dishes reflect the coastlines, fishing traditions and climates of the places that created them. Many began as practical ways to use daily catches, from fishermen's stews to quick cures that kept fish fresh.
Marseille's bouillabaisse used unsold rockfish, Peru's ceviche cures fish in citrus, Galicia's pulpo is seasoned with paprika and Japan's sashimi celebrates raw fish. Singapore's chili crab, Brazil's moqueca and Maine's lobster rolls are regional icons.
Some seafood traditions are very old. Romans loved garum, a fermented fish sauce, and Scandinavians cured salmon as gravlax. Today, overfishing makes sustainable choices important, and labels help diners pick seafood from well-managed fisheries.
