When I got home, I momentarily considered making a simple recreation of some of the things I've eaten in the past week. But, I want to do it justice. I want all fresh seafood, and no surimi. And, beyond that, I think now is finally the time for me to prepare a dish with calamari. I love the other elements, but the calamari was such an important part of it. That alone will make the prep interesting, and more challenging, than any seafood dish I've ever made before.
If by "fresh" you mean never frozen, you probably won't find it in any stores. Frozen seafood is not a bad thing. More important is to check the source of the seafood, and look for wild-caught USA if possible, or at least wild-caught from a country likely to have good food regulations.
