For Father’s Day my husband received a small Weber Smoker from our children. We decided to use it to smoke two pieces of blackfish which were caught locally and given to my husband by a colleague. We started by rubbing the fish in Kosher salt, ground pepper, brown sugar, thyme and rosemary. We covered this […]

Pan Roasted Monkfish with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
It has been VERY warm here lately. We know it is early September, but something about the word makes us feel like it should be cooler and much more fall-like than it has been. Yesterday was particularly hot and so we opted for a light lunch that would be fresh in taste. Our local market […]
Swordfish & Leeks with Radish Lemon Vinaigrette
There is something really lovely about eating fish in the summer. The meal can be lighter. Cleaner. Healthier. We tend to eat a lot of fish this time of year, and I have a feeling, now that we live by the ocean, we will eat a lot of fish off season too. Swordfish is not […]
Potted Smoked Mackerel
We are crazy about pâté. As unhealthy as it is being laden with fat and cholesterol…sometimes it is totally necessary to dive in. You know, on those trying days. Those days when you finally get the kids to sleep and just want something a little extra special to erase the stress of say a defiant […]
Day Boat Flounder & Corn Cakes
We are trying desperately to get our kids to eat fish. There is something about it they don’t like (starting with us simply telling them it is fish). Unless…we fool them. Sneaky, right? Well, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Living this close to the ocean and having fresh fish available […]
Grey Sole with Bok Choy & Ginger Pear Mayonnaise
Grey sole is a very underestimated fish. Maybe it is its name “grey” that often puts people off? It is also know by two other (and equally uninspiring) names- Witch Flounder & Pole Dab …..all we can say is that of all the sole the Grey Sole has the most delicate of flavor. As it […]
Halen Mon Anglesey Vanilla Sea Salt Seasoned Cod with Saffron Vegetable Broth
Fish is such a tasty and healthy choice for supper. Our kids have not been huge fans of fish, but with this dish we changed all of that. We have found that vanilla works surprising well with fish and a great way to impart the vanilla is to finish the cooked fish with a little […]
Salmon Ceviche
I don’t know when we first fell in love with the Latin American specialty, ceviche, but we can’t get enough of it. For one of our last nights in England we wanted to make a really fresh starter for our family and so made a stop to Ramus Seafood in Harrogate in search of some […]
