Roasted Dill Salmon
Sea Forager CSF member Chris Elkins riffed on this recipe from the New York Times by Naz Deravian. Have at!
Cracked Crab with Lemongrass, Black Pepper, and Basil
Delicious, fragrant, fingerlicking good way to serve fresh dungeoness crab!
Poached Fish with Tomato and Saffron
Great for rockfish, lingcod, halibut, cook at slow simmer and enjoy! Serves 4.
Grilled Halibut Salmoriglio style
Serve with quick red onion pickles - sliced paper thin, sit them on brown rice vinegar and salt with some bay and dill. And tomatoes with basil! Because summer!
Oven-Poached Petrale Sole With Lemon Caper Sauce
Check out this lovely treatment of petrale sole from the New York Times - the key is to let the sauce thicken at the end!
Black Cod with Roasted Sweet-and-Sour Onions
Photo and recommendation by Sea Forager CSF member Dwight Agan. Thanks, Dwight!
Sablefish fish cakes
These are much lighter than traditional fish cakes and require a gentle touch.
Herring milt & roe delight!
Sea Forager CSF member Kate Schultz implores us: don't throw out the Fish Milt (aka male roe) or Female Roe from the Herring; here is a delicious way to enjoy every part.
Abalone confit
Here's a delicious way to slow cook abalone for part of a mezzo platter - a riff on unusual recipe I found in Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion.
Roasted fish fillets on a bed of veggies
I think this was so damn good right now because I used dry farmed early girls. Sop up every bit!
Mandarin lingcod. Bonus: Cocktail recipe!
Joshua Marker knows how to make the most of an excellent thing. Here shares with us a wonderful way to enjoy the bounty of the season (including a burnt-orange gin cocktail…delish!)
Curry lingcod
CSF member Harvey Steiman: “I’ve been using a few tablespoons of curry sauces from takeout dishes by our favorite local Indian restaurant to enrich sauces for Sea Forager’s fish, to great effect. Here’s the latest, made with ling cod and a few tablespoons of sauce from madras curry chicken. The spiciness of the curry sauce is muted by the other ingredients.”
Roast Crab, Italian style
Put on some Italian tunes, pour yourself something nice, and dig into this CSF member recipe from Paul Schenebeck.
White Sea Bass (or Sablefish) with Olives and Potatoes in Parchment
Put it in parchment! One-shot meal, easy and delicious.
