However, all of these types contain some seasoning, preservatives… that can be harmful to your health. To minimize this toxicity, you should boil them in boiling water for about 10 – 15 minutes, then let them drain before cooking.

4. Seafood cooking methods to avoid

Instant grilling (smoke grilling, not oven grilling): The temperature when smoke grilling seafood is usually not enough to kill bacteria in the seafood, or if it does, it only kills bacteria on the surface while the bacteria eggs in the center are still intact. That’s why people with sensitive stomachs are more likely to experience stomach pain when eating grilled seafood.
