Trout with Lemon, Basil & Almond Crust

July 22, 2021 by Nicole Coudal

Trout with Lemon Herb Crust

Update July 23, 2021.  I’m heading out for a much-needed vacation after being cooped up in my house too long (stay tuned for a new ‘Field Trip Friday’ highlighting my adventure).   So I’m giving this vintage post a little bit of love today in order to highlight this yummy topping, which would be great on…

Greek Flavored Fish in Parchment

October 1, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

If someone said to me “I’ll pay you one million dollars to tell me your one favorite ethnic food” I’d be hard-pressed to answer, because I have two favorites — Italian and Greek. Basically, I’m putty in your hands if you give me a slab of lasagna, a bowl of baked Ziti, a plate of…

Crispy, Quinoa-Coated Fish

July 9, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

If you haven’t gotten on the quinoa bandwagon yet, this might be a good time to give it a try. This ancient food, sometimes called “The Mother Grain,” is actually a seed packed with protein and fiber, making it a great substitute for meat.  It’s also considered gluten-free, but can sometimes carry gluten properties if…

Shakshuka-Style Cod

April 16, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

This week I’ve been feeling mixed up, out of sorts, and a little depressed. Maybe it’s this August-like hot, humid air that has permeated south Florida.  Maybe it’s the state of our world, or the cloud of uncertainty under which we’re living.  Maybe it’s because I’m in desperate need of a hair appointment and there’s…

Salmon & Potato Hand Pies

April 8, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Craving comfort food lately?  You’re not alone. The definition of comfort food differs from person to person.  When stressed or exhausted, I want meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  Or bread pudding.  Or homemade macaroni and cheese.  Or pizza.  Or creamy risotto.  Or stuffed cabbage.  Or gooey, chocolate cake.  It’s actually a pretty long list.  My go-to…

Tripletail with Leek, Mushroom & Spinach

February 13, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

I haven’t had time to fish lately, so I’ve been living vicariously through friends, some of whom have been catching Tripletail. These fish like to hang out under crab floats, in weed patches and under structures.  They resemble Flounder because of their mottled brown and cream coloring, and the fact that they swim and float on…

An Insider’s View to Stone Crabbing

October 24, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Fresh Stone Crab

Since October 15 marked the start of Florida’s Stone crab season, I thought it might be fun to give this 2016 post a little extra love.  It was content I originally published on Visit Sarasota, offering a behind-the-scenes look at crabbing in southwest Florida.  Give it a read to learn a little more about the folks…

A Classic Mussel Dish

September 26, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

You might remember the recent Field Trip Friday I wrote about my visit to Westport, Massachusetts, in which I referenced an awesome day searching for quahogs, clams and mussels.  A great way to spend the day, digging in the muddy banks of a beautiful body of water and pulling out something awesome, like these mussels:…

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…

Summer Crab Salad

August 1, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Summer is in full swing — a great time to make a dish that’s not only tasty, but also, easy to transport to beach, pool, or picnic.  So when the folks at Edible Sarasota asked me to create a crab recipe for their Summer issue, I decided on a salad, but one that’s a little different…

Seared Scallops with Pine Nut, Lemon & Tarragon Topping

June 19, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

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,…

Basil & Lime Shrimp Rolls

June 14, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Shrimp with basil and lime

Years ago hubby and I took a trip to Key West.  It was my first time, even though I had lived in Florida for 10 years.  I soon realized that, in addition to the ‘funkiness’ of the Keys, the beautiful blue-green water, the amazing fishing, and the lush tropical foliage, one of their best assets is the…
