Do you want to make your Valentine’s Day special? In addition to red roses, chocolate or teddy bears, there are a lot of other things you can purchase or make for your significant other for February 14. If you are planning to prepare dinner for two on Valentine’s Day, you might want to serve a heart shaped salmon or a heart shaped trout –whichever you prefer. This is not something traditional. In fact, it became quite a trend last year when grocers started selling heart shaped salmon.

If you really want to serve seafood on Valentine’s Day, you can make seared sea scallops placed on yummy parsley sauce or pomegranate glazed salmon with horseradish cream.

There are a lot of seafood recipes to choose from and most of these recipes are easy to make. But why has seafood suddenly become a popular meal of choice for this special day? The Greek goddess Aphrodite was born of sea foam and if you do not know it yet, Aphrodite = aphrodisiac. This is not just some mumbo jumbo really because the ancient world actually believed that seafood has aphrodisiac qualities. Even scientists believe this but they of course did not bank on mythology.

Experts believe that the most effective aphrodisiacs are oysters and clams. While some love serving trout, tuna, or a heart-shaped salmon, others stick to scallops and lobsters. Lobster liver, they say, is a potent aphrodisiac on its own so it might high time to look for a lobster liver recipe in preparation for your Valentine’s Day dinner. The tomalley section of the lobster is usually added as a condiment to spicy food but the said anatomical part of the lobster does not only add spice to a dish but also a bit of spice and everything nice in the bedroom.

Don't feel like cooking for your Valentine, let Chef Chamberlain do the cooking and he'll leave the rest to you. Chamberlains Fish Market and Grill is serving up a four course menu that truly is sensuous. Pan Roasted Salmon with Butternut Squash Toasted Pecan and Spinach, Smoked Salmon and Lobster Ravioli in Lemon Dill Sauce and Warm Chocolate Gateau will surely show her you care. This Valentine's Menu has the entire Frisco area scrambling for reservations. Make your today, spaces are limited! Location.

On February 2, 2012 Emirates Airline will offer nonstop service to Dubia. DFW is the first airline to offer these nonstop flights to the middle east.

The flights to Dubai and other commuter cities will allow Texas access more direct roots of travel to all over the world. Read more here.

Orange Roughy-New Zealand to You

The United States is the largest market for New Zealand Orange Roughy. This white fleshy fish has been a gourmet item on many restaurant menus. This exotic fish is called orange rouphy because of the bright orange coloration and its heritage. This is one of New Zealand’s largest fish export because of the tender fleshy meat that is easily freezable and transportable. The boom and bust of the New Zealand Orange Roughy Fisheries make this delicacy very difficult to find at times. The inconsistency of supply has recently left restaurant owners limiting the availability dramatically.

Livestrong Online names the Orange Rouphy as one of the best fish to eat to lose weight. A 3oz serving of roughy provides over 14g of protein. It’s reported that this low-fat, high-protein food can help you lose weight by suppressing hunger. If you plan to bake or grill your rouphy, your fish will stay low in calories but frying the filets will eliminate most of the nutritional value. If you would like to try Orange Rouphy in the Dallas, Addison area by a professional chef, stop into Chamberlains Fish Market and try today’s special…New Zealand Orange Roughy.
