Chopped Salad with Mango & Basil Dressing

June 26, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

It’s peak mango season in Florida, which means backyard trees are dripping with fruit, and grocery store bins are filled to the rims. There are more than 500 varieties of mangoes, but common supermarket varieties you’ll find include Tommy Adkins (large red, juicy), Keitt, and Honey. And if you’re really lucky (like if you’re in…

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…

Green Almond Sauce for Fish

April 21, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

green almond sauce with fish

I love to read food memoirs, and one that I recently pulled off my shelf is a long-time favorite. Laurie Colwin, in her “Home Cooking” memoir, shares delightful food memories and humorous tales of the evolution of her culinary prowess, including her many cooking foibles.  One of my favorite quotes in her book is “One…

February 19, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

fish tacos with kumquat slaw

Fish + Taco = Delicious. In our circle of fishing friends, fish tacos are one of our go-to recipes because they’re easy and fast, you can get creative with them, and they’re always tasty and satisfying. When I make them, I usually dust the fish with blackening seasoning then saute or grill it — two…

The Best Smoked Mullet Spread

September 7, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Mullet Spread

Gotta love a Mullet. . .the fish, not the hairdo!  But if you’ve ever tried to catch one, you know that nabbing one with hook and line is nearly impossible, because they’re vegetarians. As a matter of fact, in the last ten years, I’ve caught only one and even that was a lucky break because…

Spicy Cilantro-Jalapeno Cobia

August 28, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Cilantro Cobia

Several years ago my husband and I were fishing offshore and I nabbed my first Cobia!  After hooking it I actually thought it was a shark because it looked surprisingly like one and was fighting pretty hard. Luckily, it wasn’t. When I finally pulled that big fish into the boat, things were just a little…

Asian Grouper with Red Pepper & Scallion Slaw

July 13, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Asian Grouper

In our neck of the woods, Grouper is a fish we regularly see on menus. It’s popular because it’s deliciously mild, flaky and meaty. And in our house, we’re lucky to catch it regularly (or have friends who like to share), so I’m always thinking of interesting ways to prepare it. Every time I make…

Grilled Swordfish with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

June 19, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

SwordfishwithRoastedTomatilloSalsa

By now you may have noticed that most of the fish I cook is caught by someone in our household. Not only do we catch a lot of fish inshore, but we also have wonderful friends who have bigger boats to get us offshore pretty fast.  Here’s what you typically need to catch great fish, way…

Spicy Asian Noodle Soup

April 15, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

  I love to make (and eat) soup.  The more flavorful, the better. I’ve been playing with flavor combos in soups, and this one kept coming to the top of my list.  I wanted to make something with lots of spicy ginger and jalapeño, balanced by mild flavors of veggies. This soup gives a kick that…
