I went out last week looking to boat the first yellowtail of the southern California season and we were successful in boating two of the three fish that we hooked while slow trolling mackerel on the downriggers off the Coronado Islands of Mexico. Yellowtail is known as hamachi in sushi bars, which is mostly farm raised fish that have white flesh with a high fat content. Our local fish may not be as white as the hamachi from Japan, but if you immediately gut and bleed the fish and submerge it in ice, you will have an incredible fish to use in several applications.

I just cooked this recipe for a VIP event and discovered how incredible snook is as a grilling fish. While it is illegal to sell snook from U.S. waters commercially, it can be purchased from vendors who source it from Central America. It is marketed under the name robalo, and I only use it for limited events as I do not feel it is a fish stock that can sustain a heavy amount of commercial pressure. For the anglers who are fortunate enough to be able to catch this fish recreationally during an open season, here is a great recipe.   Read More

I figured that if you can have a chicken fried steak, then why not chicken fried scallops? Fried seafood is one of my favorites and I got this idea when I saw one of the cooks frying up some left over chicken skin and calling it chicharones de pollo. I've had scallops fried several different ways, but I liked this one - and you can also forego the aioli dip and top the scallops with hot buffalo wing sauce and bleu cheese. Some people may say that's a sin, but who cares? Do what makes you happy and give this one a try. Read More
