Thanks!
DH smoked a pork butt today after brining it overnight, then coating with yellow mustard and rub. It was a little under for easy pulling but SO juicy and flavorful without being tough. Some of the best I’ve eaten. Sides were Hawaiian loaf, country green beans, cole slaw, and baked beans.

What a small world - I will be having dinner in Somerville next week! My niece just moved there.
We sometimes smoke our bluefish. Then I usually make it into a pate to eat on toast.

My husband fishes on Cape Cod. When he catches blues, he always smokes them. We make bluefish pate, smoked bluefish chowder, and smoked bluefish cakes.

OH Yum! I’m going to have to try blue fish chowder. That sounds great.
Is bluefish generally looked down upon by Cape Cod fishers? We get a lot of grief for keeping it. Most people throw them back. What does your husband usually go for?

My husband prefers to fish for striped bass, but they have been scarce and are very regulated - keepers are 28" to less than 35" and only one allowed per day for recreational fishermen. Bluefish are more abundant and the rules aren’t as strict - no size limit and 3 are allowed at one time. He doesn’t always keep 3, it depends on how big they are and how much we have in the freezer. After he smokes them, he vacuum seals them and they keep very well. We have summer neighbors who love a gift of his smoked blues, though. I always prefer them smoked, but some people love them fresh as well. But not everyone loves bluefish as much as white fish…
Here’s the recipe he uses for the chowder he makes - he smokes his in a Big Green Egg after he filets them - seasoned only with soy sauce and a peppercorn blend - but otherwise makes the chowder this way http://wildgreensandsardines.com/2012/12/smoked-bluefish-chowder-2.html

Ha. I thought this is a post about chocolate bunny and chocolate eggs.
Good question. I haven’t thought about how to celebrate in the time of spring (is it really spring, so hot here).
I have been making geoduck for the last two weeks, and almost made a post about it. Unfortunately, the last week geoduck is not nearly as good as the those from two weeks ago, so I didn’t feel like posting anything.
When I get a nice tasting geoduck, then I will post again.

Is it: Cook Korean! A Comic Book with Recipes? I have that one. I enjoyed looking through it, but I haven’t made anything from it. The recipes seem pretty straightforward, which I like.

Haven’t had any geoduck in years. I’ll have to look for it if we make to Manhattan’s Chinatown again.
I was lucky two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, at a store, I saw these small geoduck clams sold for $30 per pound. They were small…etc, but after I prep them, they were pretty tasty and favorful. Very small amount was already favorful. After such a nice experience, last week, I went to a different store, and they have these large geoducks you see in my photo, $10 per pound, inexpensive, big and meaty… unfortunately, very blend and even not smell that great.
They are well and alive. The photo you see I have above is a live geoduck after I bought it home.
I am hoping I will get lucky tomorrow.
Good luck to you too.

Tonight roasted baby bok choy, garlic and onions.
Pan fried mushroom, peppers, bok choy tops.
Roasted sweet potato in a Balsamic reduction.
Unwrapped salmon and it needs to go back to the grocery store.
This was light and refreshing.
Yes, it is Cook Korean !
It looks like a good read yet I’m not sure how easy it will be to cook from. I guess that it will take some getting use to.
It was really sweet of DH to pick it up so I’ll give it a go.
Thank you, I saw the umbrella in a hollowed out young coconut filled with Red Curry chicken. Unfortunately, the Restaurant did not survive the Pandemic so I may, one day, try that instead next time.

Shrimp in garlic-shallot white wine cream sauce over Israeli couscous with asparagus alongside.
Wine to drink. And my sister texted me and made me turn on the TV to watch “The Ten Commandments,” as that has been a tradition for my family as long as I can remember. A truly classic cast of Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Debra Paget, John Derek, John Carradine, and Vincent Price.
No CGI. Just simple green screens with added in backgrounds in post-production. Seven Academy Awards.

Around here most folks go for either striped bass, black sea bass or fluke and they tend to “specialize” -my husband prefers fluking. He’s not a fan of trolling unless it’s for tuna. The regs in NJ are a little more relaxed but still too strict according to him. He’s very much looking forward to this season as we sold our 28’ boat and bought a new boat. We’re keeping our fingers crossed it’s ready while there’s still some season left.
Thanks for the recipe. I can’t wait to try it.
