Marinated Fish for Grilling

“SIMPLY AWESOME TASTING !”

Halibut, Chilean sea bass or shrimp work well. In this photo you see thick fresh halibut fillets and fresh sea bass fillets after having been soaked overnight in a delicious marinade I found at a local Santa Monica market.

The marinade is an island blend sauce that was perfect. I then topped the mix with a pineapple ring, covered and let sit in the fridge. The ingredients pictured in the pan were thrown on a grill for a few minutes on the patio of a local architectural firm for a ‘Friday Fun Lunch’ organized by a cool office manager. The fish was served with potato salad, grilled shrimp, grilled salmon with a rosemary lemon sauce and a side of mixed fruit chutney and it was simply delicious.

Sushi night at your house.

$150. is not out of the question to spend at the sushi bar when including drinks.

Well here I spent $150. and had a party.

It served 2 couples.

We had various salads, sushi, sake, plum wine, aloe water, miso soup and some good times.

Spicy Tuna Tofushi

This is an awesome Dude of Food original creation.

Take some tuna and spicy it up. The scoop some tofu cubes out and fill them with spicy tuna goodness. Then wrap the base of the tofu cube with seaweed, garnish and serve.

The cubes here are shown with the tuna mixed with rice, but i found this extra step is not needed. Just add the spicy tuna and you’ll be stoked. Rice can be served on the side with miso soup, kim chi or seaweed salad.

FISH TACOS

Fish tacos are easy and delicious. Crack open your favorite Mexican beer. Put the other 17 somewhere cold. At the cabin I like to stick them right into the snow outside the front door.

Next grate some cheese, chop onions, lettuce, tomato, avocado and a jalapeno and put the chopped piles in separate small bowls. Pan fry some red snapper, halibut, cod or shrimp in light oil.

Heat up some tortillas so they are warm and soft, but be mindful not to dry them out. I like them warm but not too steamy or sweaty.

Once all the ingredients are prepared and laid out, create a conga line along the taco prep area and enjoy creating your colorful meal. Add salsa and a squeeze of lime per taste if so desired. Be sure to say ‘gracias’ to your host and chef.

Fiesta y salud!
