Thanks Greg! It was. That corn salad makes a nice refreshing Spring/Summer side dish.

I made this little guy last night (was at Delicious Orchards yesterday their steak selection kinda stinks) bone in rib eye, finished in an “angry” sauce with a stuffed Italian long hot peppers. Back in the day there was a place called The Manhattan Steak House, they used to have this on special it was called their Hells Kitchen steak, yummy some tasty memories right there!!
Happy and SAFE Memorial Day weekend peeps! If anyone is looking for me I’ll be at the beach, hope kids don’t try to push me back in the water this year.

Hey, I thought the beach was closed this year? Now I’m confused…
Went down and fished with my buddy out of Brielle for probably the tastiest fish in our local inshore waters, black seabass. First attempt at the whole fried fish, Thai style. Extra “style” for me as I replaced some ingredients with what was on hand, prosecco for shiaoxing cooking wine, for example, lol. All in all it came out better than expected. Even Mrs. T’s plate was clean, and she is usually a little squeamish with bone in chicken, never mind whole fish. .

Looking good Tom! I like fried ling. I wonder how a whole one would come out.
Can’t imagine it would be anything but tasty. Plus, no scaling required.
Just de-sliming 
Wow. That looks beautiful! Now that’s what I call Farm to Table (or sea to table)

Mrs. P made boneless Spanish quail breasts from Urgasa. She brined it overnight and then pan fried it in olive oil, with some salt & pepper. We had air fried mini peppers and shishito peppers on the side. These boneless quail breasts are great. You get the meatiest part of the quail without worrying about the bones.

Did you get those quail at a store or by mail? Looks good!
Thanks cj. I actually got them from a secret Chef source, who gets them wholesale from a distributor in Atlantic Highlands, NJ that only sells wholesale to restaurants (http://www.nafood.com/). I don’t think you can get these retail. It’s too bad. This distributor gets all kinds of game birds, game meats, anything & everything from around the world. They come 10 in a pack. The Chef was very kind enough to sell me a couple of 10 packs, from his large restaurant order, at a ridiculously reasonable price. I gave him a nice bottle of Red Zinfandel in appreciation.
