fish recipe

I know where you can get Alaskan Halibut… and next day delivery, too!

January 17, 2010 Leave a Comment
Hooray for the Internet and FedEx! Why? Because now we ALL have access to Alaskan Halibut, fished fresh from the icy-cold Kenai waters of Southern Alaska.
As you may remember, Dennis and I went to Alaska this summer and found ourselves in fabulous fresh fish heaven. Forget the scenery… the food was out of this world! During our trip, we visited with friends from college who live on the Kenai Peninsula who treated us to a smorgasbord of fresh pan-fried halibut and grilled succulent salmon. Freshly caught. Ahhh… I am transported back even as we speak. I know where you can get halibut… and next day delivery, too. The friends we visited in Alaska has a brother who is a commercial fisherman. He has a website where you can order halibut, coho salmon, king salmon, and sockeye salmon. www.pristinesalmon.com We ordered some of everything the minute we arrived home from Alaska so the family could have a taste of Alaska, too. The halibut was everyone’s favorite and the coho salmon took top billing in the salmon family “taste test.”
Unfortunately, the salmon supply has run out for this season. Don’t worry, I will let you know the minute the salmon runs begin and he starts shipping again! The good news? Halibut is available year-round. If you have never tried halibut, it is a white fish (skins and scales, so it is “clean”) that has a very clean taste. It is a not a strong fish, so it is enhanced by seasoning or special sauces. We like to slice ours up and pan fry with a light macadamic nut oil with simple sea salt and crushed pepper. It’s easy to order. Check out their web site to see the current prices. If you order 10 pounds, the shipping is free. If you order 20 pounds, the price per pound goes down -$2 a pound. A pretty good deal, if you ask me. Especially since you KNOW you are buying and eating something that is fresh and pure and pulled straight from the pristine waters of Alaska.
A tip: the website only allows you to order in bulk poundage. I chose to order by calling directly and they were able to mix and match according to my needs. Once you place your order the fish arrives next day, delivered on dry ice. It’s that simple. So now I have a reliable source where I can simply call his brother in case I am not satisfied. ha! And I don’t know about you, but I was always leery to order fish via the internet. Now I order with confidence because there is a personal connection. Hopefully this will be of comfort to you, too. Let me know how it goes. Oh, and if anyone knows a reliable source that still has wild Alaskan salmon available right now. Let us know!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?
The feeling after you ate too much. The feeling after you ate too much.
Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠
⁠
Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving dinner?⁠
⁠
Turkey?⁠
⁠
Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
