One of the wonderful perks of living at the Jersey Shore is the abundance of fresh fish available right off the boats. I still find it amazing though that so many of us “locals” have no idea what is fresh caught and what comes to us from other areas of the US or further. The next time you go to buy fish, be sure to ask them what is fresh AND locally caught. For a list of the local fish and their seasons, take a look at ShoreCatch.com.

Sushi is one of those things people tend to love or hate (or refuse to try…I’m working on them). Put me in the love corner: I heart the stuff.

I must have taken 20 pictures and this is the best I could get. We’re getting a new super duper camera this week though, so look for some really great pics once I figure out how to use the dang thing.

Alright, get used to it. Everything I cook from now until November is going to have a tomato on it, in it, or under it. Sorry folks.

If you love wasabi like I do, you will love this recipe. Love the crunch of the panko bread crumbs. Even leftovers are crunchy. The original recipe called for Salmon, but I think it needs a milder fish that won’t compete with the wasabi.
