More Kusshi Oysters

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Another week of successful weight loss, another week of oysters :-) I went with more kusshi oysters today, and my friend Linda at the seafood counter threw in a kumamoto for me too (the front-most one on the plate). This one wasn't nearly as briny, so ...

Kumamoto Oysters

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

Another week of weight loss, more oysters for me! These Kumamoto oysters were grown in Humbolt Bay in Northern California. These were just a touch too briny for my tastes, but a very nice size and pretty easy to shuck, that or my skills are much improved ...

Baked Panko Breaded Shrimp

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

This easy recipe is very similar to the tonkatsu pork recipe. Baking reduces the fat. I just did these in our toaster oven so I wouldn't have to wait on the large oven for such a small recipe. They are quite bland, so after taking the picture ...

Simply Steamed Shrimp

Monday, February 14th, 2011

For our Valentine's Day treat, I steamed us some wonderful shrimp from the seafood counter at Central Market. These are 21/25 shrimp, meaning that there are between 21 and 25 shrimp per pound, flash frozen on the boat and shipped directly to the market. The only way you ...

Kusshi Oysters

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Another week of weight loss, another week of oysters for me :-) These briny little gems are Kusshi Oysters from Deep Bay on Vancouver Island in British Columbia just to our north. I quite enjoyed these, and found them fairly easy to shuck, but I was ...

Baked Cod in Ginger Wine Sauce

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

For the Chinese New Year, I made an Asian inspired fish dish, based off of this one. We just weren't impressed with this. The cod I got was strangely tasteless, which didn't help anything, but the marinade just wasn't anything worth repeating either. Oh well. Can't ...

Dabob Oysters

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

As is becoming my tradition, I got some oysters to celebrate another week of successful weight loss. This week I got some Dabob oysters from the Hood Canal. These were fairly easy to shuck and had a nice briny flavor. I still like the Sister Point oysters ...

Shrimp Scampi and Asparagus

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Tonight I made my shrimp scampi and some roasted asparagus. An easy, quick meal that still feels like an indulgence :-)

More Sister Point Oysters

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

Another round of Sister Point Oysters for me today :-) The larger ones were a little harder to shuck, but I still managed quite well.
