Grilled Swordfish with Tomatoes and Oregano by Claire Saffitz
From bon appetit: “We're flipping the script and marinating after grilling. Inspired by the technique called escabèche, where cooked fish and meat are preserved in an acidic mixture, we're cooking first, marinating second—in this case, it's swordfish steaks in a punchy red wine vinegar dressing with capers and oregano. There’s only a kiss of honey in there, but it’s an essential player. With all the briny flavors from fish and the capers, you need a touch of sweetness for balance.”

Seafood Stew ala Parkside in Stinson Beach
I usually start with about 4oz rock fish per person plus 2 mussels, 2 clams, 2 shrimp. If you have a chunk of Dungeness crab or scallops, add. This is the best way to use rock fish, in my opinion.
Tapas Style Char-Grilled Squid
In an effort to recreate the grilled squid from Café Ba-Ba-Reeba, the Chicago Tapas Restaurant, I adapted this recipe from Epicurious and made it with my San Francisco middle-schoolers, and they LOVED it. They are asking me to get squid from Sea Forager *whenever* it is available.
