Forgive me as I am NOT a very big fish guy, but from those pics I would have sworn that was Mahi mahi. (one of the few fish I actually enjoy) How would you compare the flavor profile between yellowtail and Mahi?
ooh what happened??

Achilles jnjury from squatting to plant peas…and being old…
That’s not fair. There are plenty of people older than I, but in better shape, who can squat without risk of injury. Don’t skip stretching before exercising folks!
I am able to do more today… after I’ve bought every mobility device known to man.

Cajun dry rubbed country ribs with roasted delicata squash and TJ’s sweet potato fries. It all went great with Limerick Lane red zinfandel.

Someone here inspired this… big fat meatball sandwiches. Made a ton of meatballs with Italian sausage & ground beef, froze most of them, but made 6 giant ones for our sandwiches. browned in the oven and then simmered in defrosted homemade sauce with extra added Calabrian crushed chili and oregano. A little mozz, a ton of provolone (which refused to melt!) A little pepperoncini for tang. BF drowned his at the table. Sauteed zucchini on the side. Incredibly messy and just as good on a rainy day.

Achilles problems are excruciatingly painful. Mine lasted most of a year, forcing me to wear 2" heels, since my right foot “wouldn’t go to the ground”. Orthopedist brought up the rare and weird relationship with the antibiotic “Cipro” and Achilles rupture and/or pain. Since then, I have refused to take this drug, have it listed as an allergy on my medical profile. Google for info on this.

I’ve never had those and have always wanted to try them. We live on Cape Cod, so lobsters are the norm here. Any crabmeat we have access to comes from Maryland.
Sounds a bit obscure! I’ve been checking out Conditions associated with increased risk of Insertional Achilles tendinitis including …sarcoidosis, … as well as the use of medications such as steroids and fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
But that’s for a different forum.
Oh they are delicious @retrospek - my favorite food on the planet! If you have a Costco nearby, they are usually featured with their seafood roadshows. I’ve found their quality better than fish markets. They also sell it in big boxes, which we usually buy. We needed to make room for a turkey today. (And leftover crab for salads tonight)!

What kind of crabs are those?

Absolutely stunningly beautiful fall day here today. DH has been recovering from minor surgery for the past couple of days so we took a long walk on a trail near our house for his first outing. Gorgeous fall color everywhere. Unfortunately my dinner was not quite as colorful, but at least it was fabulously delicious. Chicken thighs with crispy skin, cauliflower purée and onion gravy with sherry and rosemary.
