One of the things we love most about where we live is the access to very fresh fish. Locally we love to go to Seawell Seafood in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Last week we picked up one pound of monkfish for $4.99. Talk about an affordable option to feed your family fresh, locally sourced fish! We made […]

Everything on Everything Salmon Blend
We were so excited with the arrival of the Everything on Everything products this summer- you know, just like the bagels. So good! You can put this spice on everything from hummus to salad to toast, and of course, you can bake with it! Recently we discovered that Everything on Everything also makes a Salmon […]
Creamy Fennel Linguini with Cod and Lemon
The other night on Netflix we watched a great docuseries called Rotten. One of the episodes, Cod is Dead, dealt with the struggles of local fishermen off the coast of New Bedford since the federal regulations designed to replenish fish populations have been instated. It was a tough one because it really encouraged you to […]
Haddock Cod Chowder
Growing up in Massachusetts every summer vacation I had was generally spent on Cape Cod or in Rockport. Summer vacations were not complete without eating clam chowder every time we went to a restaurant. Not the kind you get in a big can, but creamy chowders filled with chunky potatoes and loads of fresh clams. […]

At the time Downton Abbey was in its height of popularity and the “cottages” of the Berkshires were the closest thing many of us had […]
Pan Fried Mackerel with Zucchini Balls
Well, we have officially reached the end of zucchini season at our house. Phewwwww. We love zucchini, we do, but our one massive, crazy, $1.59 plant produced about 400 zucchini- or at least it felt that way. In reality it was well over 30. From one plant! It was really amazing- even if we were […]
Nigel Slater’s Salmon with Lemon Salad
A few months ago we picked up a gorgeous copy of Nigel Slater’s 2009 cookbook, Tender. It was late winter and we were desperate to start our little garden. As we perused our favorite little bookshop this book stood out amongst the others with its gorgeous cover and tag line of a cook and his […]
Salmon Potato Cakes
We are getting really savvy about using up our leftovers and you know what? It feels so good to know that we are not wasting anything. This week we had a small bowl of mashed potatoes and about one serving of raw salmon left in the fridge. On any normal occasion I’d find myself eating […]
