Jalapeño Crab Cakes

Jalapeño Crab Cakes

Here’s a recipe to try after your next payday. Why? Because crab is expensive! But don’t worry, these crab cakes should last you a few meals. With them being so rich, it’s tough to eat more than one or two in a sitting.

Spicy Fried Calamari

Spicy Fried Calamari

I try to keep these recipes relatively healthy but was craving something fried, so I thought calamari would be a good one to try.

Here’s to bringing a classic Italian seafood dish into your kitchen…meep!

Baked Rainbow Trout

Was lucky to get a picture of this one. Gracie tried to snatch the trout from the counter when I left the room but fortunately only came away with its tail. Hope she enjoyed the fish as much as I did. Mulliard!

Tuna Tartare Cucumber Bites

Seared Tuna with Ponzu
