Fun with seafood

[Bier Meister 1,513]

We have a great local seafood vendor and I have been wanting to do a seafood dinner with some of our closer friends... finally did it this weekend

starter:  Green papaya salad with jicama, mint, lime dressing with dungeness crab

second: ahi tartare with avocado, seaweed salad, unagi sauce over won ton chips

third: seared U10 scallops with yellow curry sauce over crispy noodle cake

main: grilled salmon and colossal prawns with a citrus, mirin glaze

dessert: key lime "mojito"pie

 

very fun spending good time the kitchen!

While technically a shellfish not seafood. But you wouldn't believe how much fun you can have with the geoduck.

Yeah, when I see a thread titled "fun with seafood" at this place, I'm not thinking we get a list of food recipes.  Bier Meister phayle.

I've been wanting for a long time to like Salmon. For the health benefits and all. Always hated it to no end. But I finally found a way.

I season the Salmon filet with ground black and red pepper, cook on medium low on the stove in a tablespoon of olive oil. A few minutes on each side. I whip up a tablespoon  or two of wasabi in the mean time. After cooking I sprinkle some Cayenne over the fish and cover it in wasabi.

F'ng delicious. I steam some broccoli, or have a spinach and arugula salad with blueberries, tomatoes and cucumbers dressed in olive oil, and now I love Salmon for life.

Dessert, a few pieces of 70 - 85% cocao dark chocolate along with a glass or two Duckhorn 2015 Cabernet, and I am all good.

Yeah, I don't really think the dark chocolate and salmon go together.

Geesus man, you'd mix in cilantro with your wife's breast milk.

[Bier Meister 1,513]

2 of my 4 dishes had cilantro. 

 

but yes, I would mix it into mrs breast milk though curry would be better

You don't seem to know anything about a good cab and a stellar dark chocolate as a dessert after a lighter but very full flavored spicy meal then. Too bad for you. I love grilled cheese and key lime pie too, but sometimes it's nice to pair things up that work in unison as they progress through the courses til the end.
