HUNGRY GERALD

HG/BSK are very lucky to have Julio’s Seafood Shop minutes away from HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home (spectacular sea views and sunsets). Julio’s is located at St. Peter’s Landing and stocks a dazzling variety of fish and shellfish.  Julio’s contains an oyster bar where HG hopes to devour a dozen shucked specimens accompanied by chilled white wine. BSK shopped at Julio’s yesterday and brought back an abundance of steamer clams (not a speck of sand after a Julio rinse) -plus big, juicy shrimp cooked by Julio. These ingredients made a taste tingling supper. BSK knows how to cook steamer clams so they are an unbeatable sea treat. HG  dipped the clams in broth (not necessary because they were so clean) and then in melted butter enriched with a few drops of Tabasco. Gourmand bliss. This was followed by a shrimp and cannellini bean salad mixed with a multitude of herbs from BSK’s kitchen garden.  Wow! HG finished the meal by drinking the savory clam broth with a squeeze of lemon.  It was a perfect summer supper.
