Salmon makes wonderful chowder. Other than soups and fish stews I wouldn't think you'd use a Dutch Oven much for seafood. Fish is usually sautee´d or baked.

Dutch ovens are usually used for "low and slow" cooking. Seafood cooks in minutes.

That said, I have used mine for steaming mussels, cioppino, and bouillabaise. Since all of these use wine, I use enameled cast iron.

I've made a few one-pot shrimp dishes in my dutch oven, but I generally don't cook seafood at home.

Make fish pie - an ultimate comfort food. We like to mix it up with white fish, salmon, shrimp:

Thanks! I just googled the pictures and they all look soooo good . Since it's usually cooked in large amount, would it still be good if I keep leftovers in the fridge and have them the next day?

Also, should the seafood be first sauteed or just put them straight into the soup to cook? (would the latter be still as tasty?)

This reminds me to put in the seafood later than the other ingredients. I did a soup today and put the seafood too early, so it became rather hard.

It seems these dishes are very versatile and one can experiement with any ingredients and spices as one likes?

Search the internet for a few recipes and follow the recommendations. Seafood cooks quickly and should be the last thing in the pot. It's the bathing beauty which makes a swan dive into the pool of luscious goodness at the 11th hour.

Don't leave the stove once you throw in the seafood.

Yes, everything else should be almost done when you put in your fish. I think this is a good recipe for mussels in a white wine sauce.

Thanks, just watched the video and it looks great and easy. At 2:15 of the video. what juice was she pouring in from a bottle? She sounded like saying "eggplant juice", but I don't think that's what she said.
