Jalapeno Fish Spread

Broil, bake, fry, grill, sauté, pan-sear, pan-fry, stir-fry, braise, barbecue, cold-smoke, hot-smoke…but what about mash-it-up-into-a-spread? When most folks think about making a fish spread, it’s all about salmon or maybe tuna. While both fish make great spreads, it’s easy to make a delicious fish spread with just about any type of fish. I like to…

Dungeness Crab Cakes

Also works with picked blue crab and, if you’re out of crab, cooked flaky white-fleshed fish fillets work well, too. Just make sure that the crab meat has been patted dry with two-ply paper towels. If it’s too wet, it won’t hold together when cooked. Serve with flavored aioli, tartar sauce, clarified butter or cocktail…

Pickled Shrimp

Those of you might not think this shrimp looks really appetizing – but trust me, it tastes delicious. Keep refrigerated and it will keep for some time for you. Great appetizer for a football party or backyard bbq. Print Recipe Pickled Shrimp IngredientsPickled Shrimp2 1/2 pounds shrimp1/4 cup pickling spice2 quarts water for boiling…

Crappie Tostada

This festive dish has plenty of flavor and texture. Teamed with a Cuervo Gold margarita (shaken, not blended) or a frosty-cold Mexican beer, this is a great warm weather meal. The choice of fish is entirely up to you, but I’m a crappie fan. Print Recipe Crappie Tostada Ingredients4 6 to 8 ounce crappie fillets…

Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salsa for Fish

You grill the corn, not the black beans. This recipe is perfect for grilled firm-fleshed fish. It’s best prepared during the summer when local sweet corn is fresh and, if you can get some, homegrown tomatoes have been vine-ripened. This is also great as a side dish!

Beer Poached Halibut with Parmesan Cream Sauce

Poaching is a great way to keep cooked fish moist and flavorful. Food is gently cooked in liquid just below the boiling point. You can poach fish in a covered pan on the stovetop or in the oven as in this recipe. I’ve used this recipe with whole dressed fish and fillets of halibut and…

Honey Orange Stir-Fried Fish

Needless to say, you have to be a little careful when you stir-fry fish, especially the flaky varieties. How you cut your fish prior to stir-frying depends on the fish. If you plan on using light, flaky fish like halibut or sea bass, use larger pieces. Chances are good that they’re going to break up…
