Years ago my old boss walked into my office and threw a bottle of ground wasabi at me with a recipe. She then explained that she got this recipe and went out and bought ground wasabi for it. Proceeded to make the dish, tried it, and could not breathe. Apparently she underestimated the strength of wasabi […]
Sea bass is one of my favorite fishes to order in a restaurant and I was ecstatic when I saw the fish place (yeah I like to use technical terms) started carrying it. Then I got it home and then the famous oh crap what now question popped into my head. Time to put the Homer […]
It is getting that time of year where all I want to do is grill everything and anything. For as much as I love the blessed pig fish is a great and easy protein to prepare. It takes very little to make it taste amazing so it is perfect for those quick and easy meals.

What more could you ask for than to take a couple pieces of good looking fish dip them in some beer batter and fry till crispy? The two more important factors for this dish are good beer and good fresh seafood. Just because it is deep fried does not mean it covers up bad fish (I want […]
Ok I have to admit I was a tad bit skeptical when I stole this dish from Jamie Oliver’s book “Cook With Jamie“. This book is definitely worth picking up and has a lot of great advice and more importantly amazing recipes.
The recipe calls for white fish and the only white fish I could find at the store […]
