Grilled Swordfish Steaks with Lemon Oregano Marinade

May 12, 2016 in Swordfish Recipes

Our fresh, local Swordfish is moist and flavorful with a slightly sweet taste. Steaks have a moderately high oil content and a firm, meaty texture. Swordfish is traditionally served baked with a slice of lemon. It's also excellent for marinating and grilling. For moist grilled swordfish, select steaks that are at least 1 1/4 inches thick. Baste with olive oil and lemon juice before and during cooking. Check out this recipe from Simply Recipes.

Herb Baked Tautog (Blackfish)

April 21, 2016 in Blackfish Recipes

Our fresh, local Blackfish (or Tautog) is a mild, meaty fish. In 1884, G. Brown Goode wrote that "tautog has always been a favorite table fish, especially in New York, its flesh being white, dry, and of a delicate flavor." Tautog is most commonly grilled, baked, or used in chowder (its firmness makes this ideal). Try this recipe from The Blond Cook.

Grouper Puttanesca

April 14, 2016 in Grouper Recipes

Black grouper is a tasty fish, mild, with a distinct flavor somewhere between halibut and bass. It is firm, meaty, and moist. This versatile fish can be fried, grilled, skewered, or used in chowders and soups. In the south, blackened grouper is a favorite. Grouper is very forgiving; it can be overcooked and still remain moist. Check out this recipe for sautéed grouper with an Italian flair.

Seared Scallops with Asparagus Sauce

March 17, 2016 in Scallop Recipes

Scallops are a great source of protein and are naturally low in fat. They are also a micronutrient and trace mineral powerhouse! Scallops are best baked, broiled, or sautéed. They cook up quickly, so be sure to not overcook them! They are also one of the safest types of seafood to eat raw, because the part of the scallop that we eat is highly guarded from contamination. Try this recipe, which includes a good tutorial on searing them.

Skate Grenobloise: Skate Wing Sautéed in Brown Butter with Fox Point Pickle Juice and Capers

March 03, 2016 in Skate Wing Recipes

This amazing photo and recipe for traditional dish Skate Grenobloise was originally posted on the Rhode Island Mushroom Company's Facebook page. Reposted with permission, because this is beautiful. 

Skate Grenobloise Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2-lb Skate wings from The Local Catch, Inc.
  • 5 oz Cabot Creamery Cooperative butter, unsalted
  • 1/2 C Fox Point Pickling Company pickle juice
  • 3/4 C Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1/4 C Capers, rinsed and drained
  • Italian parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Skate Grenobloise Instructions:

Rinse skate wings under cold water, dry thoroughly with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Melt butter in a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat until foam subsides and butter begins to brown.

Meanwhile, pour seasoned flour into a plastic bag. Add one skate wing at a time and shake to thoroughly coat with flour. Shake off excess. Sauté over medium high heat until lightly browned, gently turning to brown other side (skate is very delicate and easy to overcook). Use a fork to test doneness; you want the flesh to just barely separate. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Raise heat to medium high and add pickle juice and capers. Bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits from pan.

Plate skate and dress with pan juices. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Serves 2.

Baked Pollock Recipe

February 25, 2016 in Pollock Recipes

Though pollock is often breaded, battered, and fried, we prefer healthier approaches which also happen to bring out the flavor of the fish more. You can bake, broil, sauté, or stream pollock. Season with fennel and lemon, and serve with a side dish of roasted or steamed vegetables from our fellow market vendors. For a simple yet substantial main course, try this Baked Pollock recipe from Food.com.
