battered and fried cod is one of the few seafood items I enjoy prepared like that, but man do I ever.

I've never cooked fish in cast iron...it scares me

I cook salmon in it all the time.

Me too

best practice for blackened salmon

my local Whole Foods had Arctic char. I bought a lot.

Doing clams and shrimp tonight

good choice

The past four weeks I've been bringing salmon, greens and/or sweet potatoes to work. No one else really comes in the office and I eat the fish cold so it's not something I consider inconsiderate to any co-workers.

It's super healthy and gives me a feeling of great power. The salmon is usually baked with chilis and lime. Sometimes salt and lemon.

I might move on to trout soon though.

When I make cod I season it with salt and pepper, coat it in panko, put a dollop or two of butter on top to melt when it cooks, and throw it in a 400 degree oven. The real thick loin cut I had the other night took 23 minutes. A thinner cut might have only taken 10-12 minutes.

This sounds awesome

It really does. I may try that.

Relatedly, I made fish and chips tonight. Screw it. If I’m going down, I’m going down swinging.

My kids had Costco fish sticks tonight and I had the couple they didn’t eat.

Found a place in Bozeman that gets fresh oysters in daily from MA and ME. Ordered and shucked 30 yesterday. Made my own mignonette. Will be doing this regularly from now on.

i'm sure baby no. 2 won't be far off

i'm such a sucker for fish sticks. love them.

I'm gonna try some whole branzino on the grill smoker tonight. this is either going to turn out amazing or be an incredible failure the depths from which I will never recover. There is no in between.

Stuff that shit with lemon and rosemary

i have a recipe that calls for lemon and orange zest that you mix with kosher salt that you use on the inside with lemon and orange and rosemary.
