Fish and chips is a classic dish that’s also a sign of summer vacations near a beach. I myself have many fond memories of eating crispy fish and chips slathered in malt vinegar and salt, all while smelling salty air from a weather-worn picnic table. It’s certainly not a healthy dish but, it’s not like…

Roast Cod with Kumquat-Kiwi Slaw
Valentine’s Day will be here soon! I’m sure there are many of you who relish an opportunity to enjoy a lovely dinner at a ‘nice’ restaurant on the big night, but my guy and I enjoy making dinner at home. We’ve been married almost 15 years and still have fun planning the main course together…
Cold Poached Salmon
If you cook, you probably collect recipes from magazines, blogs and friends. I have oodles of notes and clippings that I periodically go through to decide which I still like, and I recently came across a post from Daniel Gritzer at Serious Eats regarding cold-poaching, so today’s the day to try it! But a little backstory first….
Buttery New England Baked Cod
I originally published this post on the blog in August, 2015. For my parents’ recent birthday dinner, I made this dish, since our whole family loves Cod, and I’m sharing it again, in hopes of inspiring YOU to make it! ________ Baked Cod topped with buttery Ritz crackers and fresh lemon juice is one of…
Grilled Florida Lobster with Cajun Butter
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…
Shrimp & Stone Ground Grits
When I started this blog I created a list of recipes to tackle – a very long list, considering all the fish, seasonal produce and family traditions I wanted to highlight. My Delicious Blog is now 3 years old, with 21 Field Trip Fridays and 230 recipes under its belt! I’ve been busy, but you’ve also…
Seared Red Snapper with Roasted Veggies
Gulf Red Snapper season is open June 11 to July 20 – not a long time, especially for those who love this crimson-colored beauty. The fish offers a mild, flaky, slightly sweet, bright white fillet — perfect for many kitchen preparations — and because it’s SO delicious, it’s an in-demand fish, one that both commercial and…
Fish in Parchment with Thai Flavors
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
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…

Having a recipe in your arsenal that you can use in a variety of ways depending on what’s in your kitchen, how many guests unexpectedly show up at your door, or the number of calories you want to consume, comes in handy. This shrimp salad is one of those recipes. . . Shrimp is the…
Tips on Cooking Fish
I’m often asked about the best way to cook fish at home. . .it seems that folks have had bad experiences doing so, with horror stories including overcooked fillets, dry edges with raw centers, fish stuck to the pan, and that ever-popular one about lingering smells of ‘fishiness’ in the house. While I’m no expert,…
Asian Tuna Burger
“You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish” Makes you want to keep reading, doesn’t it?!? When I sat down to write this post, I was stumped — I wanted to write about my new tuna recipe, but didn’t know how to start. So, I tapped into my fisherman hubby for inspiration, asking…
