Steamed Clams With Garlic
Clams are a very easy dish to prepare – half the work is already done by nature and you the cook just has to source them and prepare/cook them simply.
Mediterranean Seared Tuna
Seared tuna with a raw chunky sauce that’s quick to prepare.
Seafood Boil
One of the best, tastiest and “big show” ways to entertain family and friends is to host a seafood boil. A seafood boil is an informal meal where an array of seafood are boiled in a seasoned liquid and when cooked, the contents are simply laid out for all to pick and eat what they want.
Tuna Poke
On occasion, I just don’t want to cook in the kitchen and you want something cooling to fill your belly. There’s a Hawaiian dish called poke, a quick marinate of cubed fish and it is often served on a bowl of rice and assorted condiments or (in this case) like an appetizer.
Icelandic Ocean Perch with Rice
Icelandic ocean perch is wild-caught, sustainable and abundant around the waters of Iceland and in season from April to September. Ocean perch feed mostly on crustaceans, which explains why this fish is so tasty!
Seafood Giouvarlakia Soup
The soup is finished with an egg/lemon emulsion we call “Avgolemono” and it does deliver!
Mixed Seafood in Marinara Sauce
This dish is easy but timing is important as well. Different seafood cook differently and although I wish I could dump everything at once, I can’t.
Galician Style Octopus
Key is cooking your octopus to fork-tender then the rest is pretty straightforward: boiled potatoes, high quality extra-virgin olive oil and some salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
Seared Scallops & Lemon Kritharaki
The first time I had scallops was I went with some buddies to Ft. Lauderdale for March Break back in 1986.
Salmon Souvlaki
If a Greek can affix something on a stick, they will grill it! So far we have pork, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, octopus (that I can recall) and now, salmon.
