Your a picky twitch tonight Joe, but that's fine with me! Sub the T with a B if your into your 4-5th. Been a couple long days. 4-10 last two. Finally stuck tarpon on the fly before the fish dinner quest road trip, Wifey got her first snook and a couple more, plus some bonus fish on her first 10,000 islands trip. Wish I woulld have brought some home at 3.99. Getting on a plane in a few. Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend.

Had to be out of town last weekend for a funeral, and when I got back the cupboard was bare. So, I headed over to the store to see what my favorite fish monger had on hand. Brought home a couple nice crab cakes. I love crab, and most all seafood, but crab cakes can vary a lot. Over the weekend I had had a crab cake that was smooshed flat, breaded and browned too much. Just not good. The ones from the store were light, heavy on the crab, easy on the seasonings, and had a nice panko crust. Quickly pan-fried in butter and oil. Made a quick Sriracha mayonnaise, and had sauteed zucchini and onion on the side. Nice, light, dinner.

A place in Baltimore had the best crab cakes, could not eat two. Bought 8oz each and wonderful. Obrickes for whole blue crab in that town.

The best crab cake recipe I have found and used is that of Frank Stitts in his book The Southern Table. That book has several other killer recipes and I highly recommend it.

Well, today she sold me some good looking scallops. Sautéed in oil/butter, then set the scallops aside to make a an sauce. Tossed in a teaspoon or so of flour, deglazed with vermouth then added in some cream to finish. Served over toast points with some sautéed zucchini.
