The Joys of Bluefish
Its got to be hours old fresh, continuously chilled, under 3lb in size and then you only need the simplest prep. We like garlic, and lemon and olive oil, roasted. If its from the freezer or been in the frig a day or more we take the fillet to oiled roasting pan, take a couple tablespoons of your favorite salsa and evenly apply to fillet. Cover with seasoned bread crumbs and bake 20 minutes at 375. Good and easy.
We also smoke bluefish. Great for Sunday brunch.
having bad luck with brown rice
@pooch...you are right
So many variables in making the rice..type of rice (I use medium grain brown or a mahogany and black rice blend). and elevation. Once you have the water ratio down for a particular rice it will always come out perfectly.

What foods do you use as health remedies?
Chamomile tea for sleep is my contribution...It really works. Oh yes, one more thing..... chocolate cures everything
The Crab Pot: Blue Crabs at Patchogue
This is a great article and wonderful break from work, taking me to our local bay....at least in my mind. Thank you. A couple of things...as mentioned before Old Bay mixed in with the beer for steaming and also sprinkled on the shells is a must. We call them blue CLAW crabs and the bait fish is bunker not bunkfish. Minor details and relatively unimportant to the overall adventure.
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
When I tried to make my own puff pastry and wrap it around a large salmon fillet. The layers never appeared and the crust was as hard as a..... as well....a cookie.....My guests called it Salmon en Cookie.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Herring in cream sauce, PB and in a desperate moment....Bac-Os
Spaghetti
I usually do sautéed spinach. Whether served as a side or mixed in with the pasta its healthy and tasty.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Grilled Sardines - olive oil with sprigs of fresh thyme and lemon slice in the cavity...Bet ya can't eat just one!
Pre-theatre dining with a time constraint (Midtown West)
We just had a great burger at Five Napkin Burger, it was quick and well done. They have sushi there too!
Lemon Juice in Marinade
@dbcurrie: If it works that is all that matters. Well stated.
I usually use both an acid and an oil or fat in a marinade as a base then include the various flavor enhancements but I don't see an oil here. I wonder if the addition of a neutral oil (like canola) would change the outcome significantly?
What's the Prettiest Dessert You've Ever Seen?
Jacques Torres made a baby grand piano (miniature) out of chocolate and filled the inside with chocolate mousse for us when he was at Le Cirque

Diary of a Foodie - PBS...
This series is GREAT! As with most programming on TV the content and the technical expertise has evolved and grown. You'll never see this type of quality programing on FNTV. I think of FNTV as the AM radio of eats and PBS as the FM. "Diary" is done by the same production company that does Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations."

New favorite: hot dog with cheese and bacon.....from Five Guys
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
My local farm stand....on the way home from work I can pick up fresh Jersey Corn, Jersey tomatos, Jersey Blueberries et al.
We are the Garden State you know.
Fresh Mozzarella
Find an authentic Italian deli....many times they make it themselves....really fresh, with the milk oozing out. Many times with store bought "fresh" mozzarella you might need a little salt to bring out the flavor. But try to find a local purveyor that makes it themselves...its worth the time and expense.
Sex is like pizza...or is it...
I like it on the kitchen table!
vegetable side dishes
I think anything with a vinaigrette (acidic) base to it will cut the the richness of both the duck and the gratin. How about haricot verte with roasted red pepper and a balsamic glaze?
Food Network, enough cakes already!!!
Dear Food Network,
I would like to volunteer to consult on your programming. Currently it sucks! I know I could do a better job....the puppies next door could do a better job.

I was at a company plant in Thomasville, GA years ago, and we had a working lunch planned because we had so much to do. The folks at the plant brought in barbeque so good that we didn't get any work done over lunch, we just talked food.
