The
marinated turkey requires a minimum of preparation, but some waiting time for
the slow cooking to finish. It’s worthwhile, since the dark meat is
unexpectedly tender, moist and full of flavor. |
Bluefish has a mild fresh flavor and provides plenty of soft flaky meat. Baked in whine with lemon and fresh herbs it provides a satisfying meal even for those who are not enthusiastic about fish. |

These
are the best scallops available on the East Coast! Half the size of sea
scallops but double the size of conventional bay scallops, they have such an
aromatic sweet flavor and soft texture that they melt on the tongue even when
eaten raw. |
Atlantic
mackerel is my first healthy
choice of fish but it is unfortunately not always available. Bought as filets
it is prepared in minutes. Its red raw meat cooks white and its
characteristic strong flavor makes a most enjoyable fish dinner. |

This
Indian stuffed mackerel is absolutely delicious. Marinated first for an extra
layer of gustatory complexity or baked directly, the rich flavor of the
stuffing matches the wonderful dense flavor of this fish. A good red wine and
crusty French Peasant bread complement it. |
Arctic
Char is one of the healthiest
fatty fish (besides of mackerel) since it is sustainably land-based farmed
and contains an abundance of mono-unsaturated and Omega 6 fats. It is a mild
tasting fish of very soft texture and thus benefits from marinating with the
flavorful teriyaki ginger sauce. |

The
fish has a very mild taste, an amazingly soft texture and no oily feel (like
farmed salmon or Arctic char have). It is out most enjoyable - once its 1200
fish bones are completely cutout in a skillful manner by the local fishermen.
Without any bones interfering big bites of the thick sandwiched filet are
just heavenly treats. |
It’s
hard to say which is tastier, the slow-backed or the grilled shad filets.
Shad attains with both cooking methods a moist almost creamy texture and a
mild seafood taste that is not oily or fishy. Its flavor is more intense than
chicken but less like any other fish! Fortunately, it comes in thick filets
(each around 2/3 lb) thus providing awesomely
satisfying bites. |
