Reviews of Fish, Shellfish, and Seafood
I love kicking off the NFL season with seafood and this year I chose local yellowfin tuna from Fisherman’s Wharf Gloucester. Tuna steaks are not showcased enough on this site and I didn’t do nearly enough grilling this very busy summer. My beloved, if currently flawed, New England Patriots will be the center of my … Read More “Local Yellowfin Tuna Is Made For The Grill” »
Just out of curiosity I asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT to write me a blog post on buying local seafood. So here is the closest thing I’ve had to a guest post so far.
I needed something worthy of opening day for my beloved New England Patriots.

As a matter of fact, I don’t think I ever cooked bluefin even though I’ve been … Read More “Gloucester-Caught Bluefin Tuna: Wicked Good!” »
I paid them a visit the other day and left with some haddock, which I froze for later, and 1.75 pounds of Atlantic halibut fillets.

It’s been a while since I had a nice piece of halibut. Whole Foods had previously-frozen Atlantic halibut fillets on sale for $18.99 so I brought home a pound.
