Cape Cod Diet

A little hunter gatherer instinct goes a long way on the Cape. It's not uncommon for friends to get together and donate a bucket of quahogs, a few lobsters, fillets of bass and blues, pounds of steamers, mussels and even seaweed is an important contribution. Without the seaweed we wouldn't be able to do it up right with piping hot steam. This picture was taken after a surf session and the kitchen was essentially the parking lot. Who needs a super stop & shop? Unless you have a really well rounded group you're going to have to hit the package store for the complete fix.

Two days ago I went fishing at lunch time in my 13' skiff. In 30 minutes I caught 10 blues, of which I kept two for dinner. And we all know that for blues to be eaten properly minus that fishy taste that everyone complains about, you have to bleed the fish out right away. I did that and then filleted em up when I got back to the dock. I put them in a zip lock bag and threw them in the lab fridge. Well, they spent the night there. After work, I got sidetracked and went to pull up my lobster traps. In all the excitement of catching lobbies, I forgot the fish. Oh no! Two day old Bluefish is sometimes frowned upon to some fish snobs; so there is only one fix...Smoke it! I did last night and, wow, smoked bluefish is the way to go. Insanely good and the flavor options are endless. I even smoked the broccoli!
