If there is interest from those of you who are adventurous... I'll
bring the Monchong in or some of the other great fish from Hawaii
 ....if you are up to try different fish let us know one way or the other !


 

Dane my man in Honolulu told me about this fish that was at one time considered to be trash fish but is now served in the best restaurants.  It had a black skin that looked like it would make a fine pair of cowboy boots so we took the skin off.  The flesh was firm and didn't look anything  like grouper or snapper but it did remind me a little of the black cod.  Preparation was easy ...I seasoned the fish with salt and pepper then sautéed the fish in ghee for 3 minutes a side then slid the skillet into a 375 degree oven for 3 more minutes.  I served it with Stonewall Kitchens Corn Relish ...delicious!  Hey we have Olathe Corn in season why not make a corn salsa...pick one of  these recipes.

 

 

The shrimp we bring in from Florida is great!
Need an idea on how to prepare it???

Seared Scallops with Orange and Jalapeno Dressing – Hot, But Not

Ingredients (for 4 scallops):
2 small jalapeno, brunoise cut
1 sweet orange, sectioned
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sambal (Asian red chili condiment), optional
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 day boat scallops
salt to taste

Casa Herradura Bay Scallop Ceviche

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh bay scallops
  • 1 cups fresh lime juice 
  • 1/2 cup Casa Herradura Silver Tequila
  • 3 tbs. diced white onion
  • 1 cup ripe tomatoes, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh tomatillos, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • Fresh hot green chilies (2 to 3 serranos or 1 to 2 jalapenos), stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus a few leaves for garnish
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt
     

Directions

  1. In a 1 1/2-quart glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the scallops, lime juice, Casa Herradura Tequila and onion. Use enough juice to cover the fish and allow it to float freely; too little juice means unevenly "cooked" fish.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until the scallops no longer look raw.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, green chilies, cilantro, olives and olive oil.
  4. Stir in the first ingredients and season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Serve in a margarita or martini glass rimmed with coarse salt.

Dip fish into seeds, coating on all sides and pressing fish so that seeds adhere. Return same skillet to high heat. Brush skillet with some of deep-frying oil. Add fish to skillet and sear until fish is just opaque in center and coating is deep brown on outside, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to work surface.

Mound lettuces on 4 plates. Thinly slice fish; arrange fish, slices overlapping, on lettuces. Surround lettuces with tomatoes, carrots and peas, dividing equally. Drizzle each salad with some dressing. Garnish with wonton strips. Serve, passing any remaining dressing separately.

Honey Lime Glazed Grilled Ahi

This very simple glaze recipe is great paired with meaty Ahi tuna fillets. The tangy limes and the sweet honey work so well with the subtle smokiness from the grill. This grilled Ahi tuna recipe is best if the fish is cooked medium-rare.

Makes 4 Honey Lime Glazed Grilled Ahi Tuna Fillets

Ingredients:

  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 4 six-ounce Ahi tuna fillets
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • vegetable oil, as needed for grill

Preparation:

In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Lay the tuna fillets on a plate, season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, and spoon over 1/2 of the glaze, turn to coat evenly. Let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Add the honey to the remaining half of the glaze and mix well.

Heat an outdoor grill on high. When the grates are hot, lightly oil, and place tuna fillets on grill. Cook for about 2 minutes, and turn over, brushing the glaze over the cooked side. Grill 2 minutes more for medium-rare to medium. When fish is cooked transfer to a plate and brush the honey lime glaze over the other side of fillet.

Serve immediately with any remaining glaze.

 

Jerry's keep it simple stupid

while not putting the fish at risk of burning methods!

#1 Good Olive Oil (please don't use anything you have purchased in the grocery)

a little finely sliced red onion and a some Pink Sea Salt from Australia!

#2  Soy sauce and Wasabi

#3 Sashimi with Soy Sauce, Sesame Seeds, and Chives

Game plan: To maintain the quality of the fish, serve it on chilled plates and keep the sashimi in the refrigerator until you are ready to slice it.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound fresh, sashimi-quality fish, such as yellowfin tuna
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons shiro dashi or regular Japanese soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon thinly sliced chives

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Remove fish from the refrigerator and, using a sharp knife with a thin blade, slice very thinly. Divide slices of fish evenly among 8 plates.
  2. Drizzle each serving with about 1/4 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, adding more as desired. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chives over fish and serve immediately.

 

Beverage pairing: Tozai Junmai Living Jewel Sake, Japan. Of course it’s natural to think of sake when eating sashimi. But sake does indeed have an ethereal delicateness that just seems to perfectly embellish the creamy texture and pillowy softness of good fish.

Jerry's Quick and Dirty Method

for Ono and Swordfish

I grew up on these two fish back in Florida

the Hawaiian version is really is a treat!

Jerry's quick and dirty method is to use this Nellie and Joe's Mojo Crillo that we sell in the store.  I'll marinate chicken in a zip lock bag all day but Lime Juice will cook the fish just like Ceviche!  My suggestion is to brush some on both sides a half hour before grilling!  then after it comes up to room temp add sea salt and fresh ground pepper! Then follow the cooking instructions instructions in the above recipe adding that I would brush the marinade on the fish when you turn it the first time and use a little finishing salt to top it off. 

Yes it comes out of a bottle but I have thrown a lot of dinners where used this

Mojo Crillo and told the guests it was a secret family recipe ...great stuff!
