maddmaxx ★ Posted March 24, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2021 There's nothing like a good swordfish or Tuna steak on the grill. The weather is probably going to be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2021 Crabcakes are always tasty! And shrimp is simple and tasty. But we eat a LOT of seafood, so it is all tasty to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zephyr Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share #6 Posted March 24, 2021 Make a lemongrass ginger broth to your liking, pan sear some baby bok choy. Once your broth is done, poach your halibut in the broth (skinless) for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through, salt and pepper to taste Add broth to shallow bowl, place bbcs in middle with stems facing out (3 haves). Place fish on top of bbcs, garnish broth with thinly sliced green onions on the 45, and cilantro leaves. A few drops of toasted sesame oil and/or hot chili oil to the broth and serve. Add a piece of crusty bread for sopping up the broth. It is easy, looks fancy and difficult but really quite easy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 24, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 24, 2021 My favorite is cioppino. A nice crusty bread or thicken the stock & add pasta. Mmmmm https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/cioppino-recipe-1916710 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 24, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 24, 2021 Stir fry shrimp with some veggies -- ie. any of following, sliced asparagus, broccoli, red/green peppers, boy choy or shanghai choy, ...with onions, ginger root or garlic. etc. Server over rice or throw in cooked, drained pasta (preferably smaller cut or noodles) about a few min. before veggies are done with shrimp. (actually only put in shrimp close to the end with veggies, since it cooks fast). Well.....you could make sushi. But it's more fiddly work, but not hard. Put smoked salmon on the middle or even tuna loin pieces, etc. smoked mackeral pieces in that or on cracker/equivalent etc. Stir fry mussels in shell with any above veggies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted March 24, 2021 Share #13 Posted March 24, 2021 I am a big fan of honey glazed salmon. It very easy and tasty over rice. Rice is also very easy. A steamed veg on the side and you have a nice meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 24, 2021 Share #14 Posted March 24, 2021 Crab stuffed zucchini. Core zucchini with an apple corer. Mince zucchini guts with onion and garlic. Fold into jumbo lump crab fixed in the Maryland crab cake style and stuff the zucchini boats with the mixture. Bake at 350 for ten minutes then broil to lightly brown the tops. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the easy fish dish I make when I'm having company. Use any whitefish (tilapia, haddock, etc.) fresh filet with a cheese sauce topping. The recipe calls for mixing a can of crabmeat in and is excellent with or without it: https://www.food.com/recipe/baked-tilapia-w-fondue-sauce-and-crab-211482 Basically, you make a fondue sauce by making a roux with flour and butter, slowly add the milk (I use 3 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp butter, 1 cup of milk to make sure I have enough) under medium-low heat until the flour lumps dissolve into the mixture to make a white (aka bechamel) sauce, add cheddar cheese (about 5 oz. is plenty and you've got the great sauce for topping the fish. A little mustard kicks it up a notch and a can (4.5 oz. is ok) of crabmeat even more. You basically bake the fish filets (with salt, pepper, lime or lemon juice) at 400°F and after about 7 min, top with the cheese sauce and cook it 5 more minutes. The recipe says 20-25 min. but that's way too long for fresh fish filets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents are from Boston and retired on the South Shore (Duxbury) between Boston and the Cape. I have many pleasant memories of digging clams at low tide with my Dad. He used to make clams casino, chowdah, or a seafood pizza with a white clam sauce in place of a tomahto sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
