Mutton Snapper did not give his life in vain

Before the turn

After the turn

Mutton Snapper, perfection


Jelly in our belly, no better broth than this.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS, ROASTED POTATOES AND MUTTON SNAPPER and a sip of CUVAISON Chargonay 2004
After. a long day of sailing, Paul and I settled down to make dinner, after a Hendrick's martini. If you have never tasted this gin, you are missing something, my friends. Our dinner consisted of potatoes roasted in EVOO,  some butter, rosemary and garlic; grilled asparagus, and mutton snapper sauteed in EVOO, salt, pepper, then made a pan sauce of white vermouth, lemon juice, a chiffinade of green onions, capers, with a hint of orange zest, topped of with our own version of court buillon.(remember that Jelly like fish broth) Awesome!

  1. Peeled and blanched asparagus? Who's your sous chef? Very impressive you guys. Charley, I have to believe you eat with the same passion in New Jersey as you do in the Keys. I need you to prove it to me next summer.
