What is the most important indication of freshness in oysters clams lobsters and crabs?

If they are alive they are fresh. Don't buy crabs or lobsters w/ broken claws or injuries or less than lively. When crustaceans start dying, or break a limb, they or the limb start turning to mush that does not resemble meat. If the crabs or lobsters are cooked, they probably were cooked on the commercial vessel that they were caught from, or iced and cooked at the port processors, and as long as they stay frozen they will probably be OK for a few months. Oysters should be bought alive by the 1/2 or whole bushel. I love Florida Apalachicola oysters, never any muck or hair just a little sand, unlike St. Augustine "local" oysters (retrieved from a sailboat mooring. Can you say hepatitis?). If the clams aren't alive, and you are putting them in chowder or gumbo, just buy chopped canned, and if you don't want rubber bands, put them in last like you do with shrimp. And scallops from roadside stands - and a lot of Chinese buffets - are often times stingrays whose fins were punched out with a pipe, skin peeled off, and viola! scallops! Keep in mind, all commercial seafood is frozen. It would never make it back to shore w/o tons of ice. 99% of grocery store seafood is weeks to months old. Commercial caught fish are as much as a week old before they make it back to port. If it stinks, don't eat it.

How do you remove fat from chicken before cooking?

When the minced beef becomes hot enough, the fact will melt and come out of the meet. It will then float to the top of the meet if a little water is added. At this point you can either skip off the fat or allow the pot to cool and the fat will solidify and may be removed as a solid when cold.

What are some ways to keep cheese dip like salsa con queso from hardening while being eaten?

Eat faster? Actually, if you consider that you've used heat to liquefy a material that is normally a soft solid, two approaches quickly come to mind; first, you can try to keep the heat on by serving in a heated container (a purist approach), or second, you can add a second method of liquification (usually the commercial approach) such as adding a light vegetable oil in the minimum necessary amount and blending well. The amount of oil added determines how well it stays pleasantly goopy. Too much oil... unpleasantly goopy. Even though water or milk might also work, usually the best resulting texture is less appealing than a botched oil infusion

How do you make ribs?

It depends on whether you're making pork or beef ribs, and with beef, what kind of ribs determines the best cooking method. I like pork ribs personally, they don't have a lot of meat on them, so they can be cooked quickly at a high temperature. I rub dry seasonings on them, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. Then I spray them with a light film of oil and pop them in the oven for maybe 15 minutes (depending on the length of the rack) at the highest temperature I can get the oven (500 degrees).
