World Fisheries Day

World Fisheries Day, celebrated on November 21, is dedicated to highlighting the critical importance of healthy ocean ecosystems and to ensure sustainable stocks of fisheries in the world. Fishing communities celebrate this day through rallies, workshops, public meetings, cultural dramas, exhibitions, and music shows.  Fisher folks in India, where it is widely celebrated, also demonstrate the importance of maintaining the fisheries of the world along with highlighting the problems like overfishing and mechanization. World Fisheries Day also explores finding solutions to the increasingly interconnected problems that the world is facing to follow sustainable models of our ocean ecosystems.

History of World Fisheries Day

World Fisheries Day, which is followed in India on November 21, highlights the fact that fisheries are an important sector in the country. It provides employment to millions of people, as well as contributing to the food security of India.

The fishery resources in India are mainly composed of inland and marine. Inland fisheries are mainly composed of major rivers and their tributaries, ponds, reservoirs, lakes, canals, and so forth. World Fisheries Day is celebrated worldwide by the fishing communities to recognize the vast and sometimes underappreciated food source for millions of humans.

In 2019, Andhra Pradesh’s government launched a number of welfare schemes for fishermen on the occasion of World Fisheries Day. State Fisheries Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana said on the occasion, “The YSRCP government has increased compensation to fishermen, for the mandatory ban period of 45 days, from Rs 4,000 to Rs 10,000.” The state government has also increased the subsidy on diesel for mechanized or non-mechanized boats. In case of death of fisherman compensation of 10 lakh will be given within two months.

Indian fisheries and aquaculture is an important sector of food production providing nutritional security, besides livelihood support and gainful employment to more than 14 million people, and contributing to agricultural exports. With diverse resources ranging from deep seas to lakes in the mountains and more than 10 percent of the global biodiversity in terms of fish and shellfish species, the country has shown continuous and sustained increments in fish production since independence in 1947.

The total fish production during 2017-18 was estimated to be 12.60 million metric tonnes, of which nearly 65 percent is from the inland sector and about 50 percent of the total production is from culture fisheries, which constitutes about 6.3 percent of the global fish production. More than 50 different types of fish and shellfish products are being exported to 75 countries around the world. Fish and fish products have presently emerged as the largest group in agricultural exports from India. On World Fisheries Day, make sure to support fisheries and new sustainable ways to make our ocean ecosystems cleaner.

"Isn't this incredible, love? Just like racing, it's all about balance. Cheers to our endless adventures." - fernando alonso

1/2

f! user x fernando alonso impiled smut

The sillage of the briny air revitalises my senses. It was a golden day, the sun was shining peacefully and Fernando was finally free stewards and Mike Krack. However, Fernando had to do a photoshoot for some random brand at a seaside resort on Spain's Costa Tropical. Then, we can finally relax, without any worries.

For once. There were five people managing Fernando while I sat on the second floor of the yacht. I was reading a book, while I heard multiple shutter clicks. Photographer telling Alonso how to pose in the beacon of light. Fernando was wearing a white Ralph Lauren shirt, white shorts and a black belt with plain shoes to match it.

“Okay Fernando, we have finished everything. We’ll get back to you soon. Okay?”

One of the members of the photoshoot team told him as they slowly walked off the yacht. Taking a final glance at him and waving goodbye.

"¡Perfecto! Gracias a todos por su trabajo. Can't wait to see the photos. Vamos a terminar y prepararnos para el próximo desafío."

He flashed his pearly whites and waved goodbye to the rest. Quickly he rushed to you, tackling you from behind. Hugging you softly. You felt his stubble rubbing against your silky hair.

“Hello, Princesa.”

He chimed.

“Hiya Fernando.”

You replied.

“Why don’t I make you something, come down to the first floor, Querida.”

He offered, holding his hand to you, taking it he gently lead you downstairs to the lower floor. Watching your every move so you don’t slip. He silently told you to sit down, signalling you by nodding his head. He was like your guarddog, protecting you from everyone and everything. That would do anything, even die for you. His love couldn’t be written by songs, poetry or anything else. Except for cooking.

He kissed you on your forehead, slowly drifting away to the kitchen while you stared at the beautiful ocean. The sun highlighted all of your beautiful curves. In a cosy kitchen, he stands over a wide pan, sizzling with olive oil. They toss in onions, garlic, and colourful bell peppers, filling the air with a savoury fragrance. Saffron threads follow, turning the oil a sunny gold.

With practised hands, Alonso adds chicken and a medley of seafood—shrimp, mussels, and squid—each piece searing to perfection. A sprinkle of rice spreads out, soaking up the flavours. Fragrant broth joins in, bubbling gently as it melds with the ingredients.

A few stirs and adjustments later, fresh peas and tomatoes add bursts of color. The kitchen fills with the enticing aroma of the simmering paella. Finally, Fernando plates up the vibrant dish, a masterpiece of flavours and love, ready to share with their wife.

“Here you go, my love.”

I’d smile at him, pleased with my meal. Every bite felt like a new heaven, and tasted so good. I felt like Remmy from ratatouille.

Hours pass by, we would take in the sea and moonlight. Talking about the Media and other silly things. But there was a tension, a barrier that needed to be broken. Something to be snapped. Fernando ran through my hair, sitting next to me. I knew he needed something, his fingers trailed against my thin clothing to my thighs. Slowly rubbing it in circles.

“Cariño..Please.. Can I.?”

He’d squeeze your thigh for extra attention. He needed you, so fucking badly. The submissiveness finally gleamed in his eyes. He wanted you.

“Go on, I know you want it.”

Rating food of the countries I've been to, from West to East:

Disclaimer: it's veeery subjective

***

Spain🇪🇸 : 7/10. It's okay. I expected their fish and seafood to be better, tho. A LOT of relatively cheap fresh juices, 10/10 for health. They also make surprisingly amazing pasta and surprisingly average paella.

France🇫🇷: 9/10. Never visited cafes or restaurants there, but Carrefour has an incredible variety of good meat. I love their pineapple pie, too. There are a lot of products for vegetarians, Muslims, and, in general, different people who have different eating styles. There's a lot to see. And omg, their bazaar days are something worth attending: I still regret that I never tried clams with white wine.

UK🇬🇧 : 6/10. Not impressed. Something tells me that they deliberately make fish-n-chips that terrible. But I absolutely loved the strawberries under hot chocolate, which was sold by two cheerful Polish girls near Madam Tussaud museum.

Switzerland 🇨🇭: 6/10. Migros has nice buns with spinach and those Japanese "sandwiches", overall, your whole salary is gonna be spent on food. (Lithuania core lol😭) McDonald's there SUCKS.

Norway🇳🇴: 4/10. I expected a lot for some reason. Prices gonna cause you a heart attack, the quality is gonna give you a second heart attack. Also!!! THERE WAS NO FISH IN THE SHOPS EXCEPT THE CANNED!!! I was deeply injured. Norwegian salmon is super popular in Ukraine, how can they not have any normal fish in the big supermarkets...

Germany🇩🇪: 1/10. I may be just unlucky, but every time I visit Germany and pick a random cafe with lots of people(!), it has the worst food I've ever tasted in my life. It's like that scene from Desperate Housewives: "Really? A woman who orders Chinese food for Christmas dinner cooked a pineapple pie?" I understand now why Ukrainian women often marry Germans. My heart bleeds when I see what exactly you eat. I want to cover you with a blanket and cook you a normal soup.

Czech Republic 🇨🇿: 7/10. The soup was nice, ставлю вподобайку👍

Poland🇵🇱 : 8/10. Soup in bread, my beloved. Doughnuts were some kind of overcooked in oil, tho.

Montenegro🇲🇪: 10/10. I love you. I love your salads, your seafood, and I LOVE YOUR LEMON ICECREAM!!!!!

Slovakia🇸🇰: 7/10. I don't really remember what I ate, I am sorry. But I was really impressed with your supermarkets for some reason. Gotta visit it again.

Hungary🇭🇺: 6/10. It was my first time I've ever tried street food, and I liked it. You guys know how to cook meat.

Greece🇬🇷: 7/10. One day, I'll find the guy who can cook Karavidopsiha and beg them to cook it once again. Nice fish!!! I remember your arbutus honey as old women remember their best lovers. But. One time, a man served my family with unpeeled shrimps in batter. :/ What the hell was that? Is that some kind of a national dish I'm not aware of? Minus three points for such bullying.

Cyprus 🇨🇾: 7/10. I shouldn't be obsessed with your carob tree pastille that much.

Lithuania🇱🇹: 10/10. I love you. Although, I'd love to spend less money on food too. I love your Maxima and Rimi and Iki. I love your cafes. I love your bakery, I love your cocktails, I looooooove your soups, and I love your Asian food too. It's very easy to become an alcoholic with such delicious wines and tinctures.

Latvia🇱🇻: 11/10. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm on my knees. Your cream chanterelle soup and Lidl croissants and marinated onion and šašlyk and fish and dairy products🛐🛐🛐. You guys know how to serve. I've never seen such pretty food designs anywhere. And of course, Lido. It brings me in tears of joy and makes me remember Puzata Hata. No, for real, is there any dish you don't know how to cook?

Finland🇫🇮: 7/10. That's okay. Nice street food.

Belarus ⚪️🔴⚪️: 9/10. Oh my dear Belarus, you're gonna be the best chef in Europe once you're free from russia. I wish I ate more machanka and drank your pine tincture when I had the chance. I love your chicory, it's a bit greyish, but it's much more delicious than an average chicory. Delicious meat in the shops. Other food is soviet-like, which makes me nauseous.

Ukraine 🇺🇦: ♾️/10. Вітчизно моя! Ти як здоров'я, наскільки ти цінна, тільки той знає, хто тебе втратив. I don't know if my favourite shops still work. I loved every single cafe I've been to, yes, even that shitty prorussian Mafia and Eurasia. I loved Puzata Hata. I loved Khlibna Kava, and its amazing cherry cupcakes. I loved Moloko Vid Fermera. I loved little kiosks with fresh Makadamia nuts and huge variety of vegetables and fruits. I loved Flagman and Silpo, Lvivśki croissants, and chocolate shops. I loved my seafood store. I loved giant frappes in Shevchenko Park. I loved my Continent with its old classical French background songs. I love my Japanese food stores. There are so many places I love. I used to find my bazaar so ugly and dirty, but I would give everything to buy the sea ​​buckthorn jam from the cheerful old lady. But it's not gonna happen. My bazaar was shelled by russians to the ground.

Turkey🇹🇷: 9/10. Your Katmer, seafood soup and baked shrimps(?) are something 🛐.

Jordan🇯🇴: 7/10. Nice! You cook paella better than Spain, be proud of yourself. Although, I'd love to not be scared for my life as a woman all the time. Your bazaar seemed very interesting, but unfortunately, I don't speak Arabic. And I am a woman, which also sucks, I guess. I was totally covered in black, except for the face and hair, and people still stared at me like on a zoo exponate. McDonald's kinda sucks too, but not as much as in Switzerland.

Egypt🇪🇬: 7/10. It's okay. I've tasted only hotel food.

Sakartvelo🇬🇪 : 10/10. Our guide forgot about our existence, and we had to find any source of food to not die from hunger, so we went to your local bazaar and asked to fry some cheap fish. It had lots of bones, and I hate fish with bones, but I ate it all, and it tasted amazing.

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦: 6/10. Most of the week, I just cooked some simple spiceless products like pasta and eggs from the small store. You are far from the level of grocery stores in Turkey. Although, your cold orange juice bottle saved my life from dying in the middle of the desert.

Qazaqstan 🇰🇿: 7/10. I don't really remember your supermarkets, I guess they were okay. But your bazaars are definitely something worth attending. Millions of varieties of honey with millions of tastes and very salty hard cheese Kurt.

Exploring the Signature Dishes of a Mediterranean Restaurant

In the realm of culinary delights, few cuisines boast the richness and diversity of flavors found in Mediterranean cuisine. From the sun-drenched shores of Greece to the picturesque landscapes of Italy and beyond, the Mediterranean region is renowned for its fresh ingredients, bold spices, and vibrant dishes. In this gastronomic journey, we delve into the signature dishes of a Mediterranean restaurant, each a compelling blend of tradition, innovation, and undeniable flavor.

1. Greek Moussaka: A cornerstone of Greek cuisine, Moussaka is a hearty and comforting dish that exemplifies the essence of Mediterranean cooking and tantalizes your taste buds. Layers of thinly sliced eggplant, potato, and ground meat are smothered in velvety béchamel sauce and baked to golden perfection. 

The result is a symphony of textures and flavors, with each bite offering a compelling combination of savory meat, creamy sauce, and tender vegetables. Served alongside a crisp Greek salad and warm pita bread, Moussaka is a dish that satisfies both the senses and the soul and is highly sought-after in a Mediterranean restaurant

2. Italian Caprese Salad: Simple yet sublime, the Caprese salad celebrates Italy's bountiful harvest and culinary prowess. Ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and fragrant basil leaves are arranged artfully on a plate, then drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. 

The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine through. Each bite is a burst of freshness, with the tomatoes' sweetness complementing the cheese's creamy texture and the peppery notes of the basil. A true classic of Mediterranean cuisine, the Caprese salad is a perfect appetizer or light lunch option in a leading Mediterranean restaurant.

3. Spanish Paella: Hailing from the sun-kissed shores of Spain,Paella is a vibrant and aromatic dish that captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking. Paella is a feast for the senses, a colorful medley of saffron-infused rice, succulent seafood, and tender meats. 

Whether prepared with plump shrimp, tender chicken, or spicy chorizo, each variation of this iconic dish offers a unique culinary experience. Served in a traditional paellera and garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, Paella is a dish that brings people together, evoking the convivial spirit of Spanish dining in a lavish Mediterranean restaurant.

4. Lebanese Mezze Platter: In Lebanon, dining is a communal affair, with friends and family gathering to share a feast of small plates called Mezze. A Mezze platter typically includes an assortment of dips, salads, and grilled meats, each bursting with flavor and personality. 

The Mezze platter offers a tantalizing array of tastes and textures, from creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush to tangy tabbouleh and crispy falafel. Served with warm flatbread and accompanied by glasses of mint tea or arak, it's a culinary journey through the vibrant streets of Beirut.

5. Turkish Baklava: A fine dining experience in a Mediterranean restaurant would only be complete with a sweet finale, and Turkish Baklava is the perfect way to indulge your sweet tooth. Layers of paper-thin phyllo dough are brushed with clarified butter, then filled with a rich mixture of chopped nuts and spices. 

After baking to golden perfection, the Baklava is drenched in a fragrant syrup made with honey, sugar, and rose water, infusing each bite with a luscious sweetness. Served alongside a steaming cup of Turkish coffee or a refreshing glass of mint tea, Baklava is a decadent treat that delights the senses and leaves a lasting impression.

Conclusion:

The signature dishes of an upscale Mediterranean restaurant like Fat Lamb are a testament to the region's rich culinary heritage. From the robust flavors of Greek Moussaka to the delicate simplicity of Italian Caprese salad, each dish offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of Mediterranean cuisine. Whether you're craving comfort food or a culinary adventure, a meal at a Mediterranean restaurant will satisfy your appetite and leave you craving more. So, why not embark on your gastronomic journey and experience the magic of Mediterranean delicacies?

Culinary Trends: Shrimp Dishes Dominating Asia-Pacific Menus

In the vast and diverse culinary landscape of the Asia-Pacific region, one ingredient has been making waves across menus: shrimp. This delectable crustacean has long been a staple in Asian cuisines, but its popularity has soared to new heights, dominating menus from bustling street food stalls to upscale restaurants. As we delve into the world of gastronomy in the Asia-Pacific, it's clear that shrimp dishes are not just a passing trend but a flavorful mainstay that reflects the region's love affair with seafood.

The Asia-Pacific Shrimp Market

Before we explore the delectable dishes, let's take a closer look at the Asia-Pacific shrimp market. This region boasts some of the world's largest producers and consumers of shrimp, with countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and China leading the pack. According to recent market reports, the Asia-Pacific shrimp market is thriving, driven by growing consumer demand for high-quality, protein-rich seafood.

Rising disposable incomes, changing dietary preferences, and the increasing awareness of the health benefits of seafood have all contributed to the market's growth. Furthermore, advancements in aquaculture technologies have made shrimp farming more efficient and sustainable, ensuring a steady supply of this coveted ingredient to meet the region's insatiable appetite.

Shrimp: A Culinary Darling

Now, let's turn our attention to the star of the show: shrimp. Known for its delicate sweetness and versatility, shrimp lends itself beautifully to a myriad of dishes, from vibrant stir-fries to comforting soups and aromatic curries. Here are some of the shrimp-centric dishes that are currently dominating Asia-Pacific menus:

1. Tom Yum Goong (Thailand)

Hailing from Thailand, Tom Yum Goong is a spicy and sour soup that features plump shrimp as its star ingredient. Infused with fragrant lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal, this soup is a harmonious balance of flavours that is both comforting and invigorating.

2. Salt and Pepper Shrimp (China)

In Chinese cuisine, Salt and Pepper Shrimp is a beloved dish that showcases the simplicity of preparation and the exquisite taste of fresh shrimp. The shrimp are lightly coated in a seasoned flour mixture, then quickly fried to crispy perfection. Served with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and perhaps a touch of chilli for heat, this dish is a delightful combination of textures and flavours.

3. Gambas al Ajillo (Spain, popular in Asia-Pacific)

While originating from Spain, Gambas al Ajillo has found a special place on menus across the Asia-Pacific region. This dish features succulent shrimp sautéed in garlic-infused olive oil, often with a hint of chilli for a kick. The simplicity of ingredients allows the natural sweetness of the shrimp to shine, making it a favourite among seafood enthusiasts.

4. Shrimp Pad Thai (Thailand)

Another Thai classic, Shrimp Pad Thai is a stir-fried noodle dish that perfectly combines sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavours. Tender shrimp are tossed with rice noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, and peanuts, creating a dish that is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

5. Prawn Curry (India)

In India, Prawn Curry is a beloved coastal dish that varies in flavours and preparations across regions. Whether it's a fiery Goan curry or a coconut-based Malabar curry, the common denominator is the juicy prawns that soak up the rich, aromatic sauces. Served with rice or bread, this dish is a celebration of spices and seafood.

Why the Craze?

So, what is it about shrimp dishes that have captured the hearts and palates of diners across the Asia-Pacific? Several factors contribute to their popularity:

Versatility: Shrimp can be cooked in a multitude of ways, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes, from quick street food to elaborate feasts.

Flavour: The natural sweetness of shrimp pairs well with various seasonings and sauces, creating complex and satisfying flavour profiles.

Health Benefits: Shrimp is low in calories and rich in protein, making it a nutritious choice for health-conscious consumers.

Sustainability: With the rise of responsible sourcing, consumers can enjoy shrimp dishes knowing that many restaurants and suppliers are committed to sustainable practices in sourcing their seafood.

Conclusion

As we navigate the dynamic culinary landscape of the Asia-Pacific region, it's evident that shrimp has secured its place as a culinary darling. From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the fine dining establishments of Singapore, shrimp dishes continue to captivate diners with their enticing flavours and textures. As the Asia-Pacific shrimp market thrives, we can expect to see even more innovative and delectable creations featuring this beloved ingredient on menus across the region.

National Fresh Spinach Day 

Fresh Spinach Day is celebrated annually on July 16 to emphasize the many health benefits of fresh spinach. It’s not all fantasy that Popeye gains superhuman strength after consuming his canned spinach. Because, in reality, spinach can boost your health. From improving bone health to lowering the risk of cancer, spinach got you covered. Fresh Spinach Day reminds you to add this healthy leaf vegetable to your meals or smoothies. Creamed spinach, spinach dip, sautéed spinach, green smoothie – strongly yummy.

History of Fresh Spinach Day

Spinach is said to be originating in Persia, and it was later brought to India and China via Nepal in 647 A.D. – known as ‘Persian green’ in China. Spinach was then introduced to Sicily by the Saracens in 827 A.D. It was later brought to Spain by the Arabs in the late 12th century, called ‘the chief of leafy greens.’ It then spread to England and France in the 14th century, known for a while as ‘the Spanish vegetable’ in England. In the U.S., spinach became popular in the 1800s. In the 1930s, there was a boost in spinach consumption due to the fame of Popeye.

Spinach has three main types: flat-leaf and savoy. Flat-leaf spinach or smooth-leaf spinach features flat and smooth leaves, hence the name. This type is typically grown for freezing and canning. It grows faster and yields more, and it’s easier to clean. On the other hand, the savoy type, with curly and crinkly leaves, is preferred for the use of the home garden and fresh market. It usually looks and tastes better and keeps longer than flat-leaf. Besides, it has less oxalic acid than flat-leaf. There’s also semi-savoy type spinach whose leaves are partially curly and crinkly.

Spinach is rich in nutrients, raw or cooked. If you consume raw spinach, you’ll likely absorb more folate, niacin, potassium, riboflavin, and vitamin C. Raw spinach is packed with fiber and water. And since raw spinach is quite flavorless, it’s easier to blend with sweet smoothies. When it comes to cooked spinach, you’ll likely absorb more of the iron and calcium that it provides. Besides, the amounts of vitamin A and E in cooked spinach are increased. So, whether you consume raw or cooked spinach, it will still give you the nutrients that your body needs.
