Fish Wellington with Herbs and Prosciutto

November 16, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Fish wrapped in pastry

My husband and I work from home, so we get to share lots of meals together. And it’s usually during lunch (or sometimes even breakfast) that he asks “What are you thinking of making for dinner?”  Ok.  Does anyone else think it’s funny that he’s already wondering about his next meal, while enjoying his current…

Snapper, Chile/Garlic Butter & Sauteed Purslane

September 11, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

purslane snapper

In an upcoming Field Trip Friday I’ll be writing about my recent visit to Mote Marine Laboratory’s Aquaponics program in Sarasota.  They’re doing amazing things by way of studying and growing sustainable foods, including a tasty vegetable called Sea Purslane. This edible succulent (also called Sea Samphire) has pretty, dark green and crispy leaves, along…

Citrus Infused Whole Roasted Snapper

August 12, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Roasted Snapper

We’re doing something a little different today. . .cooking a whole fish! Don’t be intimated — it’s actually a little easier than cooking a single fillet and you can even make stock with the leftover bones and pieces! If you’re fortunate enough to catch a fish yourself, that’s great, but you can also find one…

Mangrove Snapper with Peach Peppadew Salsa

July 15, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

MangrovePeppadewPeach

My love affair with sweet piquante peppers (branded as “Peppadews”) started five years ago. I bought a package because they looked interesting and I thought they’d be a nice addition to an olive/cheese platter I was making for a party. How could I have known how much I would love these sweet, mildly spicy little…

Seared Hogfish with Ginger Lime Butter

June 24, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

hogfish with ginger lime

Hogfish! It’s a reef fish that likes rocky bottoms throughout Florida’s coast, and it’s in the Wrasse family (which means it’s delicious). It’s unusual-looking in that it has a long, hog-like snout that allows it to feed on bottom-dwelling crustaceans, but its crimson color is amazing. This fish is hard to catch on hook &…

Coconut Snapper with Lime Cilantro Butter

June 17, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Queen Snapper

I’ll just say it.  I LOVE Snapper!  And I especially love the Queen Snapper my hubby brought home from a recent Gulf of Mexico offshore trip.  Aside from being especially delicious, Queen Snapper is a gorgeous fish — bright red (almost candy apple), with a deep forked tail and huge eyes.  It’s a deep water…

Yellowtail Snapper with Orange & Pineapple Salsa

June 12, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Recently some friends went offshore and brought back enough beautiful Yellowtail Snapper to share with those of us who couldn’t fish that day.  When I get access to Yellowtail Snapper, I like to prepare it very simply, in order to savor the delicious, light and delicate texture.  My go-to preparation is a saute with a light…

Crunchy Scamp with Basil Cream Sauce

June 10, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

Scamp is like the best Grouper you’ve ever had.  It is beautiful, white, light and flaky.  It’s also versatile, in that you can prepare it in a variety of ways.  Its flavor profile is mild – similar to that of Halibut or Snapper.  My hubby and I recently fished offshore with friends Jim and Wendy…

Mutton Snapper with Basil-Lime Dressing

May 18, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

My husband and his pals fished offshore recently and had one of those “epic” days.  Almost 100 miles off the Gulf Coast can produce exciting results, and this day was definitely a winner.  Mutton Snapper, African Pompano, Yellowtail Snapper, Amberjack — you name it, they got it (provided it was in season).  While not uncommon,…
