Friday is National Seafood Bisque Day! Seafood bisque is a creamy and well-seasoned soup consisting of a crustacean based broth. The most common forms of seafood bisque are made from lobster, crab, shrimp, or crayfish. Culinary historians believe that the word “bisque” is derived from the French word “bis cuites,” which means “twice cooked.” Seafood bisque is typically cooked twice. The first time cooked occurs when the crustaceans are sautéed in their shells; the second time cooked is when the dish is mixed with the cream for simmering.
