Fish 4 Friday: Saltimbocca, Just for the Halibut

Saltimbocca. The very word is both elegant and exotic at the same time. I’ve enjoyed veal saltimbocca for decades years a long time, in restaurants as scattered as San Francisco to Xiamen. (I’d tell you exactly how long I’ve been enjoying this dish, but that might distress you; after all, when I was a kid [...] Read more »

Rainy Tropical China, and a Great Cantonese Feast

The sun comes up early in Shenzhen, and today it brought rain with it. In fact, a deluge. So much rain it had to get an early start, and the thunder and lightning preceded first light by about an hour. That left plenty of room for a second big storm to hit as dawn broke. [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Dill, Tomato and Wine Sauce

A quick post today; lots of stuff happening, and the trip to China is just around the corner!
Sometimes, even bold fish can come out, well, a bit bland. The way chefs solve this problem is to build a bold pan sauce and pour it over the dish. Here’s one such sauce that works great on [...] Read more »

He even did “East Meets West” style cooking and [...] Read more »

F4F: Better Than Thursday Fish!

A strange conversation with my wife comes to the rescue…
I’m trying to find a distinctive sobriquet (get THAT word into your usual Friday night cocktail conversation!) for my fairly regular Thursday posts on fish dishes. I like to get the fish recipe out on Thursday, so anyone who wants fish on Friday will have time [...] Read more »

Thursday Fish: Ancho Chile Fish with Corn and Cream

Most times, I prefer simple recipes over complex. Less to go wrong, and if the ingredients are fresh there will be plenty of flavor. Sometimes, though, I like to pretend I’m a chef and try something a little bit showy or involved.
This recipe is more on the show side:

That’s not to say it’s [...] Read more »

Thursday Fish: Black Bean Garlic Fish Recipe

Here’s a quickie for your fish requirements. (No, those fish don’t need a quickie, YOU do!)

Black Bean Garlic Fish

This one is flavorful and spicy (if you include the chile strips), but what I like about it is how easy it is to make. Almost any firm white-flesh fish works. Probably would work for shrimp or [...] Read more »

Malay Fish Curry and Achar

Most of us think of fish dishes as mild, with flavors that kiss the palate and linger like a first kiss: lemon, dill, parsley, cream and so on.
There’s another way to flavor fish: Hot curry. This one arrives on the tongue like a torrid but doomed love affair, full of heat and zest, leaving you [...] Read more »
