Seafood Chowder
You can use whatever seafood you have on hand but I like using a white fish (fresh cod), small shrimp and small bay scallops.
Fried Zucchini Tower With Tzatziki
I am writing this post from Montreal, an overdue getaway filled with lots of great food along the way. Estiatorio Milos, now located in Miami, Las Vegas, New York, London, Los Cabos, Athens and of course, Montreal, where the first Milos opened. Although Milos is known for it’s fresh grilled fish and seafood, they have […]
Mediterranean Tuna Tartare
For those that have been to Greece and other Mediterranean countries, you may have seen some modern takes on dishes, some international flare mixed in with local ingredients. Some of the fancier seafood tavernas are serving ceviches, crudo, cured fish dishes, even sashimi and sushi. Many of the dishes have foreign influences and techniques while […]

Fried Skate Wing

The edible parts are the wings and stand-alone fish mongers and many Asian markets will carry this delicious fish. Buy skate (and any fish and seafood) from a trusted fishmonger. Skate deteriorates quicker than other fish. […]
Fried Bogue
