The chefs are encouraged to embrace beautiful imperfections as they work with so-called ugly ingredients. In the appetizer round, they find often-discarded seafood and misshapen veggies in the baskets. A perilous-looking fish presents a fierce challenge in the entree round.

Ina Garten is serving up a seafood spread, starting with Fresh Crab and Pea Risotto for a comforting one-pot wonder. Then she makes fast and foolproof Baked Cod with Garlic and Herb Ritz Crumbs and Potato Galettes with Smoked Salmon, an incredible easy canape. Finally, Ina's luxurious Lobster BLTs take a classic sandwich and give it a sensational twist.
