HG/BSK are lucky to have a source of fresh fish caught off the shores of HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home. The source is Julio’s Seafood, located in the town of St. Peter’s which is only a short drive for BSK. (Juilio just added an oyster bar to his store). BSK is a very good customer so BSK gets alerts about favorite fish. A few days ago, BSK got a hake alert. so, creative BSK cooked a pan of sliced potatoes, chopped garlic and many herbs and spices in olive oil and mussel broth (the broth was a leftover from a previous meal). When the potato mix was nearly done, BSK placed hake slices on top. The fish was steamed and then crisped under the broiler. Once more, BSK achieved a taste triumph. On another night, the fish star was tuna. For years, HG/BSK never tasted fresh caught PEI tuna. Japanese would buy the fish and fly them to the Tokyo fish market. This year, however, some fresh tuna has been reserved for PEI gourmands. A tuna alert for BSK and delights ensued. BSK seared slices of tuna to perfection (browned on the outside and raw inside. This was served over warmed cannellini beans mixed with lemon juice, lime juice;chopped garlic, parsley and dill. HG sprinkled some Vietnamese fish sauce on the tuna. HG declared this the best tuna dish ever. (Canned tuna–Italian or Spanish–mixed with Goya cannellini beans, chopped garlic, olive oil and chopped parsley is delightful when you don’t want to cook).
