Italian Seafood Recipes

These easy-to-follow Italian Seafood Recipes make it incredibly easy to get a flavorful fish on the table for your family without someone saying, "This is too fishy." Growing up in an Italian-American household, we had fish almost every Friday, and Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same without these dishes.

Seafood can be tough to learn how to make because it's expensive, and a small mistake can ruin the dish. When I first started cooking seafood, the best tip I ever received was to get an Instant Read Thermometer. With our step-by-step directions, you'll feel like a pro the next time you pick up seafood, whether it's a whole fish, filets, or shellfish!

Don't miss out on these delicious flavors just because you haven't cooked a lot of fish! Try some of our readers' favorites like Lemon Garlic Broiled Flounder, Pan-Seared Vermillion Snapper, or Baked Red Snapper.

My Favorite Italian Seafood Dishes to Start with (if you're a beginner)

Shrimp Fra Diavolo with Linguine- This Italian seafood pasta is such a simple and flavorful dish, but almost impossible to screw up.
Pistachio Crusted Baked Sea Bass- With just a thermometer and some pistachios, you'll have the most buttery flaky fish you could ever hope for.
Linguine with Clams- This should be a household staple for everyone because it's so easy to steam clams, plus this dish is done in under 30 minutes.
Garlic Anchovy Pasta with Toasted Breadcrumbs- Actually impossible to not taste good. This salty Italian seafood classic is my favorite midnight snack.
