Asian Tuna Burger

February 16, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

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…

A Super Grouper Sandwich

January 26, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Grouper Sandwich Blackened

The grouper sandwich. Blackened, fried, grilled, baked or broiled, it’s a classic, must-have sandwich when you visit Florida. It’s also something you order when you’re lucky enough to live here and you decide to play tourist by heading to a beach-side restaurant, soaking up the sun and sipping a fruity cocktail. I’ve done it, and…

Seafood Stew in Bread Bowl

October 6, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Seafood bread bowl with saffron and tarragon

So, when did folks start to put stews, chilis and dips in bowls of bread? I simply had to get the answer to this burning question. . . Based on my research, it seems that the practice dates back to Medieval times when folks used round, flat, bread to serve food, especially porridges and stews….

Hello, Halibut & Harissa!

September 29, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Halibut and Harissa

I’ve had Harissa (pronounced “hu reece uh”) on my radar for a while. I first learned of it way back in 2012 on NPR’s show titled “Harissa: The Story Behind North Africa’s Favorite Hot Sauce;” spotted it in a 2014 article in Food & Wine Magazine, where it was described as “the new Sriracha;” and…

Pan Fried Catfish

June 23, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Pan Fried Catfish

If you fish in Florida, you have surely felt the exhilaration of getting a bite on your line! But that exhilaration can quickly turn to despair when you realize it’s a big ‘ole sailcat (i.e, catfish). . .which only grows only deeper when you notice that the fish has gotten your gear, your line, and…

New England Clam Chowda

May 18, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

New England Clam Chowder

When you grow up in New England, you usually gain a fondness for seafood since it’s prevalent, fresh and really delicious. So that’s where my love of clam ‘chowda’ began. . . But before we go any further, I feel it’s important to qualify myself. When I talk about New England clam chowder (a.k.a. chowda),…

Roasted Shrimp with Lemongrass, Lime & Cilantro Sauce

April 4, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Shrimp in Lemongrass Dipping Sauce

A tasty sauce adds flair to whatever you pair it with, and it even has the potential to become the star of the dish. When pairing a sauce with something, I try to not create flavor competition.  Basically, if I’m making a zippy, very flavorful sauce, I tone down its partner. The same is true if…

Delmonico Fish

February 8, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Delmonico Haddock Bake

Sometimes you find interesting things when you rifle through your grandmother’s old recipe box. I thought I knew about everything in there, but for some reason, never noticed a couple of cards in the ‘Fish’ section, until recently.  I don’t even remember her making these dishes, but I knew that if they were in her…

Classic Peel & Eat Shrimp

January 26, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Steamed Gulf Shrimp

I sometimes get creative in the kitchen with seafood or produce in an attempt to offer new possibilities using ‘old standards’. But sometimes an ingredient simply begs to be used in a classic dish. When my friends at Left Coast Seafood Company recently offered me some fresh Gulf shrimp, I was SO excited.  Those talented…

Crab & Wasabi Appetizers

October 14, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

crab salad and wasabi pea appetizer

Recently I was asked to bring an appetizer to a get-together and thought I had plenty of time to make something. Unfortunately, my day got away from me and I found myself an hour before the event with no ideas. Ever been there? So I dug through my pantry and came upon a can of…
