Fried calamari is probably one of the most popular appetizers at restaurants. I know my friends and family almost always have an order if it's available on the menu. That doesn't mean that every order of calamari is equal in the mouth of the beholder. There are a variety of ways to make the dish.... Continue Reading →
Every since going to Oahu, Hawaii, my wife and I have been obsessed with poke ("po-kay"). If you've ever had sushi (especially tuna sashimi or a tuna roll) and loved it, then you'll love sushi's stocky, less-well-traveled cousin, poke! I say less well traveled, because sushi is everywhere while poke is tragically so much harder... Continue Reading →
Few sandwiches encapsulate New England like the classic lobster roll. While lobster rolls are readily available in the summer months throughout New England, they can unfortunately come with a high price tag. Even worse are restaurants that take advantage of this price tag, but still manage to sell a sub-par or skimpy product. That is... Continue Reading →
One of the best ways to make scallops is to traditionally sear them on each side in a pan to form a crispy crust. While those scallops are delicious, there are alternatives such as baking, frying, or grilling scallops that still deliver on great taste, but provide a different flavor profile.

There are many ways to make cod, whether it is pan fried, breaded, grilled, or baked. In this recipe, I've... Continue Reading →
I've eaten shrimp all of my life in so many different forms. Grilled, fried, stewed, baked, stuffed, with the shell, without the shell, in a sauce, on pizza, with pasta, you name it. When I've had shrimp sandwiches, none were better than the shrimp po' boys I had in New Orleans. Grilled shrimp on a po' boy sandwich... Continue Reading →
I was on a seafood kick over the summer and at one point, I actually heard my brother say, "Seafood again?" Nonetheless, I changed his mind with this dish. Neither my brother nor my mother really enjoy mussels. At least that's what they said before I made this dish. I will admit that while the... Continue Reading →
Growing up, my mother did the cooking at home. On the rare occasions that my mother went away for a week to visit family or for a physician's conference, my father would be left to attempt feeding us. Unfortunately for my brother and I, but fortunately for you, he only knew how to make two... Continue Reading →
