Recipe FAQ

Sea Food Recipes — common questions

How do I avoid overcooking seafood in a tandoor?+
Seafood cooks much faster than meat — most cuts are done in 8 to 15 minutes. Watch for opaque, firm flesh rather than relying on the timer alone, since tandoor temperatures vary between ovens.
What's the best marinade time for shrimp vs. fish?+
Shrimp only needs 20 to 30 minutes since it's small and absorbs marinade quickly; firmer fish like salmon or pomfret benefit from closer to an hour.
Can frozen seafood be used for these recipes?+
Yes, as long as it's fully thawed and patted dry first — excess moisture will steam the seafood instead of charring it in the tandoor.
What fish holds up best to tandoor heat?+
Firmer fish like salmon, pomfret, and halibut hold their shape well on skewers. Flakier fish can still be used but is better suited to a fish curry than direct skewering.
