Seafood. It's high in protein and low in cal- ories, but many North Carolinians shy away from cooking seafood at home. Nadine Tope, a food and nutrition spe- cialist with the Agricultural Ex- tension Service, is trying to teach more people about the value and ease of cooking seafood. Tope, Joyce Taylor of the NCSU Seafood Laboratory in Morehead City, Hilda Livingstone of the Marine Resources Center on Roanoke Island, and Hallie Hooper, Maureen Rickards and Joy Frauson, home economics agents in Dare, Carteret and New Hanover counties, respectively, are putting together a slide show funded by a UNC Sea Grant mini-grant. The slide show will demonstrate methods for preparing and storing seafood, in- troduce unusual species to homemakers and stress the nutritional value of seafood. The slides will be used in county ex- tension demonstrations and also in seafood demonstrations at the Marine Resources Centers and at the NCSU Seafood Laboratory. Another Sea Grant mini-grant will focus on peeler crabs—crabs about to shed their shells. Rhett White, director of the Marine Resources Center at Roanoke Island, and Hughes Tillett, Sea Grant's marine advisory services agent in that area, have received funds to set up a permanent peeler crab demonstration. The exhibit will be built near the center, and will include two crab-. shedders and panels describing the shedding process. The exhibit, which will be built this spring, will be used by Sea Grant and Marine Resources Cen- ter staff for demonstrations and educational lectures. The beach environ- ment can be hostile to
