Boston-Style Beer-Battered Fish and Chips
I “borrowed” this one from a fry cook in Boston. Works well with pretty much any fish, but my favorites include crappie, bluegill, rockfish and other smallish fish. Serve with tartar sauce or your favorite fish dipping sauce.

Salmon Pasta Salad with Avocado, Tomato and Tarragon Vinaigrette
This is an easy-to-follow cold pasta salad that is perfect for a summer bbq or gathering. Smoke or grill your salmon before for a different taste. Add or subtract fresh veggies to suit your taste.

Salmon BLT
I stole this idea from The Colony House Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina many years ago. It’s one of America’s all-time favorite sandwiches made even better with the addition of freshly caught salmon. I like to serve this with cool summer melons and a glass of crisp dry white wine.

Catfish Wrap with Avocado and Tomato Salsa
How you cook the fish is your call, but I prefer the smoky flavor of grilled fish. However you decide to cook it, just don’t cook it too long! The coleslaw makes it cool, creamy and crunchy. The biggest tortillas you can find work best. If all you can locate are smaller ones, allow two…

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…

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.
