DEVILED EGGS WITH TROUT ROE
Why not be decadent if you are going to go casual. Deviled eggs don't have to be plain. These are amazing.
TROUT MEUNIERE RECIPE
Trout Meuniere means 'the miller's way' in French. Mills were often by rivers where its energy could be used to turn the large stone grinders to make flour. The trout swam in these same rivers. Dusting flour on the trout before sauteing brings together these two elements. Classic dish and classic recipe.
CRAB CAKE RECIPE
I love this simple recipe. For added texture, double the recipe for two pounds of crab meat - 1 lump and 1 super lump. Prepare the whole recipe except the super lump. Once everything is mixed well, fold in the super lump so that it doesn't break up. This way, you get a really crabby mixture with large pieces to bite into. Mmmm...good.

MISO GLAZED SALMON
A super easy recipe that was originally designed for Black Cod or Sablefish. Use it for that or for salmon. Such amazing flavor only requiring a little patience while you marinate over night. That's all you really need.
MONKFISH CURRY
Is there a better way to stink up the house in a good way than with a curry? I think not. Monkfish is one of the best fish to use for curries. it is flavorful and holds its firmness without falling apart. This is a good one.
STUFFED FLOUNDER IMPERIAL
This recipe is so old school and so regional. What better than to have someone from the area showing us how to do it. By the way, you could stuff shrimp, mushrooms and clams with the filling if you wanted to. Just saying...

MISO GLAZED BLACK COD (SABLEFISH)
Sablefish, or more commonly called Black Cod (it's not really a cod) has been on every Japanese menu over the past 20 years. Usually expensive but so easy to make. You can marinate this fish for up to three days. I would recommend at least two.
OVEN ROASTED CHIPS (ENGLISH FRIES THAT IS)
Nice and easy way to prepare English chips without using up your fryer. If you are making fish and chips, this is a great prep to use in order to time both for dinner.
PAN FRIED HADDOCK FILLET
The nicest type of cod out there as far as texture and firmness goes. haddock is a favorite of the Northerners for good reason. It may soon be a favorite of yours.

Great video with good technique to use with fillets that have the skin on and aren't too thick. This is how you do it.
OLIVE OIL POACHING

LINGUINI WITH CLAMS
Only spaghetti and meatballs can claim to be a better pairing than linguini with clams. In my book, clam sauce wins. Here is a simple and classic way to do it.
SHRIMP COCKTAIL
I don't really know why shrimp is ever poached to make shrimp cocktail. It usually has no flavor to me. The best shrimp cocktails I've ever had were always from roasted shrimp. If you haven't tried it yet, be ready to step into the land of no return....
POACHED FISH IN TOMATO SAUCE
There is nothing more flavorful than fish cooked in a broth or sauce. The sauce flavors the fish. The fish flavors the sauce. You don't get that fish smell from searing and it's so easy. She uses cod here but you can certainly use halibut, salmon or mahi.

SAUTEED MONKFISH

Such an easy recipe you will ask yourself why you every order mussels out. One of the quickest meals you can make. Get your baguette ready...
MUSSELS MARINARA

POACHED SALMON RECIPE
A clean way to cook salmon without having the residual smell of seared salmon in your house. In fact, the perfume is magnificent. Also, you get a cleaner preparation producing salmon that is, in my humble opinion, even better chilled. Try it. You'll see.
FRIED CALAMARI
Simple is best. Some people like to soak the squid in buttermilk. That's a choice that, for me, covers up some of the natural flavor and only acts to give the cook the ability to overcook the squid without it getting tough. If you cook it quickly and pay attention, you don't have to cheat.
SIMMERED CALAMARI IN RED SAUCE
One of my favorite ways to cook squid. Slow and long. The flavors are just unbelievable. Mix in some pasta of your choice or eat with a big loaf of bread. I like to mix in a little black olives and red pepper flakes for a more Sicilian style dish.
SHUCKING OYSTERS
You can do it. Order yourself a shucking knife and have fun.....Please.....
