The Best Smoked Mullet Spread

September 20, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Mullet Spread

I recently hosted a workshop called “The Amazing Mullet” at Historic Spanish Point in Osprey, Florida.  The organization is all about preserving and celebrating Florida’s past, and this was part of a learning series called the Frances Newton Culinary Institute, highlighting dishes using seasonal fish and produce. We discussed Mullet’s impact on Florida’s Gulf coast…

Seared Scallops with Tarragon

For many areas in Florida, scallop season starts around July 1 and runs through the end of September.  Folks have asked if I have scallop recipes and I actually have several on the blog: Scallop Ceviche, Bay Scallops Casserole, and Shrimp & Scallop Zoodles.  And while I’d love to create a new one for this week,…

Mussels with Miso, Ginger and Lime

May 31, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Mussels with Miso

This week I decided to highlight a post from 2017 – a tasty (and healthy) recipe made with farm raised mussels, miso, ginger, and zippy lime.  It’s easy to prepare and oh-so-delicious with crusty bread.  The reason I’m posting it?  A few, actually: June 1 marks the start of hurricane season, a time when those…

Cold Poached Salmon

October 26, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Poached Salmon

But a little backstory first….

Grilled Florida Lobster with Cajun Butter

July 20, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Grilled Florida Lobster Tails

July 25-26, 2018 is the “mini season” for Florida spiny lobster. This annual 2-day window is a mad dash for recreational lobster-seekers, and it’s just before the regular season of August 6, 2018 – March 31, 2019, when both recreational and commercial fishermen seek them. Lobstering in Florida is pretty fun, from what I’ve been…

Fish in parchment

My friends recently fished in the Bahamas and came home with a big Wahoo.  Turns out they thought they had a pesky Barracuda on the line but, after a hard fight, were pleasantly surprised to see it was that Wahoo.  Needless to say, it was a happy day.  And if you’re lucky enough to have…

King Salmon with Creamy Leeks

March 13, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

king salmon with creamed leeks

It’s an understatement to say that King (Chinook) Salmon is prized in Alaska. They love it so much that in 1962 they proclaimed it their official state fish! It’s the largest of all Pacific Salmon, has the highest amount of Omega-3 oil, and offers a distinctly rich, red flesh bursting with succulent flavor. It’s so…
