Soup is believed to be one of humanity’s oldest culinary creations. It’s also a highly versatile and universal meal. When the temperatures cool, soup is the ultimate comfort food, and a delicious way to warm up. Instead of the usual tomato or chicken noodle soups, expand your culinary palate with these seafood-inspired soups:
Boston Clam Chowder Boston clam chowder is also called New England clam chowder. This dish is a white, creamy bowl of comfort. Chefs prepare it with cream or milk as well as potatoes and onions. Sometimes, additional flavors might include bacon or sherry as well as leeks or carrots. Unsurprisingly, clams play a starring role in this dish, and some chefs like to add a little extra clam juice to bring out the flavor.
Manhattan Clam Chowder Manhattan clam chowder differs from Boston chowder in that a chef will use clear broth instead of milk or cream. It is also distinctive for its bright red color, courtesy of the added tomatoes. The addition of the tomatoes tends to inspire rivalry amongst diehard chowder fans. In fact, in 1939, a bill was introduced in Maine to ban tomatoes in clam chowder dishes. Try chowder both ways before you pick your favorite.
Lobster Bisque Lobster bisque is a thick, creamy soup that was originally made with the finely ground shells of crustaceans to thicken and enhance the flavor. Typically, the lobsters are first steamed, and then the meat is extracted. The chef will then simmer the shells with the stock and add plenty of seasonings. Popular seasonings for lobster bisque include fennel, thyme, and paprika. The finishing touch is a dose of heavy cream.
Chefs often pride themselves on slow simmering their cherished soup recipes for hours. You don’t need to go through the same trouble at home, though. Visit Enterprise Fish Co. in Los Angeles to enjoy our lobster bisque or clam chowder. Call (424) 238-1280 to make a reservation today.

New Year’s resolutions are a great way to implement positive changes in your life. Many people resolve to follow healthy meal plans. One easy way to accomplish that is to visit your local seafood restaurant. Seafood offers numerous health benefits, and it may be eaten as part of a healthy weight loss diet.
Seafood Contains Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human health, but the body cannot produce them on its own. Seafood is a superb source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation. Some of the other potential health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids may include lowered risks of heart disease, depression, stroke, heart attack, and Alzheimer’s disease. With its high concentration of these fatty acids, seafood may even help lower levels of triglycerides.
Seafood Boosts Your Vitamin Intake Eating seafood regularly also helps you meet your vitamin quotas. Seafood is a good source of vitamins A and D as well as B vitamins. Vitamin A is essential for cell health. In particular, it assists in the production of red blood cells. Your body uses B vitamins to use the energy from foods. Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium, which your body needs for strong bones. Getting enough vitamin D helps prevent high blood pressure and certain autoimmune diseases.
Seafood Offers a Low-Calorie Alternative to Meat Those who are interesting in losing weight will be pleased to know that seafood offers a low-calorie alternative to meat and poultry. Oily fish like salmon have about 200 calories in a three-ounce cooked serving, and other types of fish typically have about 100 calories for the same serving size.
Seafood Has a Wealth of Protein Seafood is also a great source of protein. In fact, the protein found in seafood contains all of the essential amino acids that the body needs. The protein in fish is also more readily digested by the body.
