They were huge! Freshly harvested in Wellfleet - the shells were kind of funky with sand and seaweed but we didn’t mind a little grit! They tasted like the sea.

I made chicken adobo with coconut milk served over cauliflower-jasmine rice. A salad of CSA radishes in nuoc cham dressing with chopped peanuts, mint, cilantro, scallion, and crispy jalapeños. Pan Asian meal, I guess. The radishes were bitter as hell so I am glad to have moved on from the CSA.

I forgot to post last night. We had our neighbors over for a mezzepalooza catered mostly by Trader Joe’s with a splash of Aldi. I served hummus with pita chips, grape tomatoes, baby cucumber slices, and Kalamata olives, falafel with tzatziki, naan strips, meatballs in a tomato red pepper sauce with harissa and honey, stuffed grape leaves, baked feta with honey, toasted walnuts, dried peppermint and oregano, spanakopita, shelled pistachios, and dried dates. French bubbly, rosé, and Bordeaux red. I think that was it. Unfortunately no photos as I didn’t want to interrupt the flow.

Our camp dinner was the same as last night, so here’s what we’re having for lunches.
Smoked steelhead on homemade baguette (cream cheese for me, mayo for him). Boiled egg. Pickled green beans and pickled cherries. Carrot sticks.
Breakfasts have been an Aussie egg slice with bacon, cheddars and zucchini. Apple muffins.
For something sweet (gotta have something sweet on a camping trip, which for us is basically a giant, prolonged picnic), lemony French yogurt cake with garden blueberries.

Prawn makhani from Mads’ Cookhouse blog. The big J did a random internet pick that turned out to be a delicious success. This one is going into the rotation.
The only change I made to the recipe was cooking the shrimp for a shorter time so they stayed crunchy and moist.

Sort of ceviche (shrimp, roasted pepper, cucumber, scallion, tomato, avocado, hot sauce, lime juice, salt). Sort of oshitashi (broccoli rabe, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar). Hot-ish day, cold-ish food.

That looks stunning! I love a good chimichurri on anything but that fish is particularly impressive.

Agree 1000%. It’s the only cuisine I’ve tried making at home where not one dish ever tastes similar to how it tastes out. Even with cookbooks and recipes by Indian authors and a fairly decent pantry supplied by local ethnic grocers.
Prepping and draping my ’ Celebrity Fish ', the restaurant way, for steaming!
Once fairly common, this Spotted Strawberry Grouper from Florida waters has become a rare find during our new Covid era. Saw a handful of fresh delivery at 'First Choice Supermarket, Kennedy/407 ’ and picked me this pretty, one and a half pound, specimen. Price has also skyrocketed from the usual $11 a pound to $16!!
Steamed whole with julienne scallions and ginger. Finish off with seasoned premium top soy sauce and sizzling oil.
