We all have dishes from our childhood that we look back on fondly—sometimes to the bafflement of those around us. For me, that dish is a Jell-O salad. For the uninitiated, Jell-O salads are an American classic. Flavored gelatin is mixed with everything from canned fruit to frozen peas, whipped cream to cottage cheese, and toasted nuts to salty pretzels.

Actually, I learned both tips from my father, who, in spite of being raised in land-locked Minnesota, loves all forms of seafood, and has a keen eye for freshness and high standards when it comes to fish....
