If you want to make a show-stopping fish dinner, you want it to be as fresh as it can be, and of the highest quality. Unless you're an experienced fishmonger, discerning the quality of seafood can be tricky. Fortunately, we found a pro to give you the inside scoop.

Nobody really knows its exact origins, but every sandwich fan worth their salt knows how to build a solid Reuben. Two slices of rye bread envelope corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a hearty portion of dressing (preferably Russian or Thousand Island). In other words, it's a cheesy, meaty, messy, carb-tastic delight that's more than earned its prime position on the menus of the nation's finest delis. But it's surprisingly difficult to replicate to the same satisfying levels in your own kitchen.

There's a good chance you've heard of dry-aged beef or steak, but have you ever tried dry-aged fish? Similar to how gourmet steakhouses transform standard beef through the long dry-aging process, some chefs swear by dry-aging fish to improve the flavor and texture. Understandably, this might seem backwards considering it's widely thought that fish straight out of the sea is the freshest and therefore the tastiest. But if done right, dry-aged fish is arguably more tender and packed with delicious umami flavor.

There's more than one way to prepare chicken for frying, but the three-step breading process is probably the most common technique. This method typically involves coating the raw poultry with flour (also known as dredging), dipping it in beaten eggs, and covering it with breading before finally dropping the chicken into a vat of hot oil. However, should you need to ditch the eggs from this equation for any reason, such as an allergy, a surprising ingredient swap can be employed to get the same results.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
