Dove breasts, marinated in Moroccan spices, stuffed in a date, wrapped in bacon and grilled. What’s not to love?
Appetizers and Snacks
Pickled Shrimp
I finally managed to catch myself some shrimp, and, since it was down in Mobile, I decided to make a Southern classic, pickled shrimp.
Halibut Poke
Like ceviche or sashimi, this is a clean, Asian-style raw fish salad, a Hawaiian specialty.
Candied Angelica
Angelica is a giant herb that grows wild all over the cooler areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Candying its hollow stems is a great way to enjoy angelica or lovage.
Salmon Dip
This is actually a salmon mousse, but that sounds a too frou-frou. Really it’s an easy, smooth salmon dip that uses fresh and smoked salmon. Great on crackers for parties.
Grilled Fish Collars
When you catch a big fish, don’t forget the “collar,” the meaty bit right behind the gills. Marinated and grilled, it is a spectacular part of the fish.
Greek Fried Mussels
Fried mussels done Greek style, with Mediterranean spices in the flour and served with garlicky skordalia dipping sauce.
Smoked Oysters
Delicately smoked oysters are a fantastic appetizer or snack, and are great on pasta.
