With about 71 percent of the earth's surface covered in water, it makes sense that our waterways are some of the most plentiful resources we have. Last week we dove into the wonderful and sometimes intimidating world of working with seafood in the kitchen. This week Tony and Chef Cindy bring the discussion to the unique category of seafood that we call shellfish. Specifically crustaceans (a category containing lobsters, crabs, and shrimp) and mollusks (a category containing bivalves like scallops and cephalopods like squid). From historical context to recipes and wines to match. This is a rebroadcast. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

They will also share some of their top-ranked dining experiences. This is a rebroadcast. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
