Meyer Lemon Mignonette

Every holiday at our house involves a bushel of oysters.  I’m not saying we have them for dinner.  They usually don’t even enter the kitchen.

Stone Crab Claws & Sauce

It takes bravery and strong hands to catch stone crabs, of which I have neither. They live in very deep burrows.  I’m not reaching in an underwater hole up to my shoulder, especially when I think of the menacing claws on the creature inside (or what else could be in there).

Smoked Bluefish with Black Mustard Seeds

Bluefish are plentiful, sustainable, and fun to catch. They’re also inexpensive at the market. So why aren’t we eating more of them? 

Florida Lobster with Cajun Butter

Chef Paul Prudhomme changed the way we cook Gulf Coast seafood; perfecting technique, seasoning boldly, and using butter with abandon at a time when fat was taboo.  

Grilled Grouper Sliders

Happy Labor Day weekend!  We’re hoping it doesn’t rain so we can fire up the grill and have a pool party with friends.

Old School Fish Recipes

Culinary trends come and go, but some recipes stick around forever.  The classics are comfort food.  They’re simple and familiar, and they remind us that good fish doesn’t need 15 ingredients and fancy skills to taste good.
