New at Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar: Thursday (day and night) special --
Baja Fish Tacos - crispy chunks of fresh fish in a tortilla, with our fresh salsa and rice; 2 Tacos for 7.95
Absolutely Fresh Seafood Market Specials:
Diver Bay Scallops 8.95/lb!!!!!!!!!!!
Fresh from Mexico, these tender morsels are fantastic when stir fried for just two minutes. Try ‘em over pasta or rice, and/or with chopped vegetables. Two minutes? Yes, two minutes. Get a clock!! J
Use high heat, a non-stick skillet, and just a little oil or butter. Season with just salt and pepper (SPTT Salt & Pepper To Taste), or try Teriyaki, or Creole Seasoning, or Lemon Pepper, or, my favorite, Pacific Rim Marinade (available, OF COURSE, at Absolutely Fresh Seafood Markets - both downtown at 18th & Leavenworth, plus 119th & Pacific).
Bairdi (Queen) Crab Clusters, also 8.95/lb!
These are bigger and meatier than regular snow crab. Cooked on the boats in Alaska, you simply put a half inch of water in a pot, toss in the crab legs, and cover. Cook on high heat for about 8 minutes - just until hot - remember they are already fully cooked. And don't forget about a little melted butter - with just a touch of garlic, if you like.
It's fun to bring in different seafoods for y'all! Thanks for supporting every locally owned and operated business in Omaha. Especially AFS.
Thank you SO much.

THE BLONDE KIDNAPPER
A blonde woman was having financial troubles so she decided to Kidnap a
child and demand a ransom. She went to a local park, grabbed a Little
boy, took him behind a tree and wrote a note. "I have kidnapped Your
child. I am sorry to do this but I need the money. Leave $10,000 in a
plain brown bag behind the big oak tree in the park at 7 A.M." Signed,
"The Blonde."
She pinned the note inside the little Boy's jacket and told him to go
straight home. The next morning, she returned to the park to find the
$10,000 in a brown bag behind the big Oak tree, just as she had
instructed. Inside the bag with the cash was The following note.
"Here is your money. I cannot believe that One blonde would do this to
another."

Subject: FW: Email from God
One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. So he called one of his angels and sent the angel to earth for a time. When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not." God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion."
So God called another angel and sent him to earth for a time, too. When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good."
God was not pleased. So he decided to email the 5% who were good because He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what the email said?
No?
Okay, just wondering. I didn't get one either.

Eat Fish, Get Smarter?
New Studies Link Omega-3 Fatty Acids to Sharper Mental Skills
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Medical News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Nov. 8, 2007 -- Eating at least 10 grams of fish per day may make for a sharper mind, new research shows.
That news comes from Norway, where people often eat fatty fish such as salmon, lean fish such as cod, and processed fish such as fish "fingers."
In a Norwegian study, about 2,030 people in their early 70s reported their fish consumption and took various mental skills tests.
People who reported eating on average at least a third of an ounce of fish per day -- 10 grams -- outscored those who skimped on fish, regardless of factors including age, education, and heart health.
Most participants ate fish, and the more fish they ate, the better their test scores were -- up to a point.
Test scores leveled off for people who ate more than about 2.5 to 2.8 daily ounces of fish.
To put that in perspective, 3 ounces of fish is about the size of a checkbook, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the Aging Brain
The Norwegian researchers -- who included Eha Nurk, MD, of Norway's University of Oslo -- didn't follow the elders over time, so they can't prove that fish boosted test scores.
But a new Dutch study connects those dots, linking a quicker mind to higher blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
The omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are found in fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel. Other omega-3 fatty acids called ALAs are found in certain plant foods, including walnuts, flaxseeds, and spinach.
Dutch researchers studied some 800 men and women aged 50-70.
Participants provided blood samples and took mental skills tests at the study's start and again three years later.
Test scores were lower on the follow-up test.
But the drop was gentlest in people with the highest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids at the study's start.
That pattern held when participants had to quickly respond to mental challenges, but not to general tests of memory, report the researchers.
They included Carla Dullemeijer, MSc, of Wageningen University.
Feel-Good Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Want a third helping of news on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids?
A New Zealand study links higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA with better self-reported health.
Those findings come from data on about 2,400 New Zealanders aged 15 and older who gave blood samples and completed a survey on their physical and mental health.
The omega-3 fatty acid EPA was strongly and consistently tied to better self-reported physical health, according to the study.
But the connection between EPA and self-reported mental well-being is "less compelling," write the researchers, who included Francesca Crowe, BSc, of the University of Otago.
All three studies appear in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, along with an editorial by Irwin Rosenberg, MD.
In his editorial, Rosenberg writes that observational studies such as these "fall far short of showing a causal effect."
That is, none of the studies prove that fish or omega-3 fatty acids were responsible for the results.
Rosenberg works in Boston at Tufts University's Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.
