1. The steaming times listed in the chart are for fresh, frozen or fully thawed seafood
and fish. Before steaming, clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish.
2. Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small portions or in amounts
as specified.
3. Clams, oysters and mussels may open at different times. Check the shells to
avoid overcooking.
4. You may steam fish fillets in the RICE BOWL. Serve steamed seafood and fish plain
or use seasoned butter or margarine, lemon or favourite sauces.
