halochef, 

 

Considering your comment and screen name, where do you work?  Just curious. 

retired,  country club chef  for 35 years

[Redlinerobert]

Very cool.  I'm no chef but my wife loves to cook.  We're fortunate enough to live on the central coast in CA, so have an abundant amount of really nice restaurants as well as Michelin rated places close by.  We've tried just about all of them.

 

If I may ask what was your specialty?

being in country clubs one needs to be a specialty in many aspects of food.  members somewhat do not follow menus and so need to b ready for anything.  do like french and northern italian cuisine on my menus.

Looks like it is bone side down to me.  My one suggestion would be to fold the thin tail end of the filet under a bit, two to three inches.  Will prevent the thinner tail flesh from drying out/overcooking.

 

Actually, you can fold it under far enough so that the cooking thickness is fairly uniform from one end to the other, and the filet will be uniformly cooked.

yes folding the tail under is good and then turn the fish on the other side a better presentation.

Now I'm hungry.  Thanks.

They used to be very expensive in the aquarium hobby years ago but then became a pest in FL. Glad they are good to eat! Any good baked or fried?

 

Yes Lionfish fillets are expensive since the meat is extremely delicious. They taste good fried,baked,grilled,and I am sure lionfish taste good cooked in other ways.

We have those too.

 

"The Westport River is considered to be one of the most significant natural features in the area. The river supports an extensive and productive estuarine habitat including over 1,000 acres of saltmarsh vegetation and over 100 acres of eelgrass beds. There are approximately 3,000 acres of shellfish beds, harvested for both commercial and recreational purposes. The major economic shellfish species include bay scallops, quahogs, American oyster and surfclam. The river is one of the few remaining areas in Buzzards Bay to harvest bay scallops. Soft shell clams and blue mussels are also important recreational species."

Tonight it's steak.

 

im really wanting my famous cheeseburgers. I take a grill cheese, add bacon, carmelized onions, and a burger. You won't eat too many of these.

 

i lost over 90lbs now. Lettuce, lettuce, more lettuce.

[DogBone_384]

Had steak for lunch and sausage/peppers/onions for dinner.  My Firehouse is what you see on TV & in the movies.... except it's +- 117 years old.  

 

We have photos of horse teams in front of the pump/hose wagon & ladder cart.
