A big pan of seafood paella is a simple crowd-pleaser and single-dish meal. Serve with a vegetable side if you please, or just a squeeze of lemon and a fork.

Jimmy Shu's barramundi meen moilee couldn't be simpler or more flavourful. Lemongrass, curry leaves and coconut milk cling to fresh barramundi pieces that require just as a quick poach to cook through.

Bust out the bag of frozen chips, or fry up some fresh ones of your own our perfect potato chip guide. You'll be pairing them in the classic Belgian style, with mayo and a pot of mussels.

This Peter Kurvuita recipe for seafood sinigang might be his simplest recipe yet. The soup is full of sour tamarind and fish sauce, paired with sweet, fresh seafood which will warm you from the inside out.
A literal hot and sour soup popular in the Philippines.
Travel to Greece is a little tough right now, so make do with a glass of dry white and some braised octopus to start. Thomas Deliopoulos says never braise the octopus in oil and water, only red wine vinegar for best results.

If you can get a hold of some mud crabs (rated as a 'better choice' by the GoodFish sustainable seafood guide), it'll be hard to resist dunking those big chunks of claw meat into Rachael Ciesiolka's citrus butter.
Just look at those big ole claws. Source: Ben Ward / Jimmy Shu's Taste of the Territory

You can't go wrong with butter, prawns and garlic, or a Donna Hay recipe for that matter. This one couldn't be simpler. Fry up garlic and aromatics while the pasta is cooking and toss them together right before serving.
Easy, delicious. Source: Donna Hay: Fast, Fresh, Simple
A little miso paste goes a long way and offers an umami bomb grilled into fresh salmon and melting charred eggplant. Serve these skewers over rice or noodles with some sauteed garlic spinach for a stellar dinner.

Saving the best till last, the restaurant favourite, salt and pepper squid. Sure you'll have to fry at home, but all you need is a pot of oil and a chopstick to test when the oil is ready (you can tell when bubbles foam from the end of a wooden chopstick placed in the oil). After one taste of Luke Nguyen's seasoning, you'll never complain about frying at home again.
Potato starch is the key to an extra-crisp coating.
We're going out with a bang on this one, and if you've been paying attention you'll know the halting of exports has meant low prices for local seafood, like lobsters. For those in the dark on cooking one, we've got Matthew Evans' signature simple recipe for dill-cooked lobster with lemon mayo. It'll be a hit.
