I was born and grew up in Puerto Rico, a paradise island, where I learn to eat all kinds of seafood as a little girl; conch, oysters, crabs, sword fish, octopus and the such. We passed the tradition to our son, who as a boy could easily eat 1 dozen of oysters by the marina, where fisherman came with fresh oysters from the ocean and open them for him. Therefore, when I find non-traditional seafood like octopus in the market, I buy it and run home to cook it to ease my cravings. Reminds me of my daddy, (who loved to fish as a hobby,) coming home with fresh octopus for me to cook it. Sweet!

A salad is my favorite appetizer and I think that it is perfect for this meal. There are people who are not too fond of it, and believe me, they are losing out on so much. If salads are bad, then I might have hit my head because I love them so much. I really encourage people to try eating salad more, they are both delicious and healthy at the same time, so what more can you ask for, right?
