Yes, tonight we are having salmon for dinner. It’s a gorgeous day and we must get in all the grilling possible before the winter comes.
I realize that salmon is one of those things that people either love or hate. I happen to love it. We have a fabulous little fish market here. (check out the employees page – it’s hilarious) The Boston docks get first crack at outstanding array of fish. The downtown market is very close to the airport making it even easier to get fresh fish from farther reaches to market quickly. I was talking to the owner one day and he was telling me very matter of factly that he gets down there around 5-6am to buy his fish for the day. (we are about 40 miles out!) They also make a delicious Rimoulade sauce.
I thank him for that – and his wife who makes the sauce. I love the selection and it’s all about as fresh as you can get without catching it yourself. Since I don’t ever want to do that, I’m happy someone takes the trouble to get the good stuff.
The northeast coast is the place to be if you love seafood. They do love their food and most especially their fish. It’s a wonderful thing!
It’s Friday, so we ate fish as well. I pan seared some mahi and it almost seemed like a sin to put it between a fresh baked roll… but it was goooood. No sauce, though.
I am faint with envy. I love a yummy bit of salmon, and love to grill it when I can. I’m getting a little more adventurous down here in my fish choices… the other day I had catfish for the first time, not too shabby. However, I refuse to follow local custom and suck the head off a crawfish.
At least not on the first date.
OMG – ROFLMAO – LeeAnn it’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking anything it would be all over my monitor.
