Salmon Piccata Recipe
While this is a salmon piccata recipe, you will want to learn it because even if you don’t like salmon, this recipe works for many things, not just salmon. Piccata is an Italian sauce of butter, parsley, shallots, white wine, lemon, and capers. Piccata is a pan sauce, made after you’ve cooked the fish or meat. You move the protein to a cutting board and make the sauce as it rests. Yep, it’s that fast, so you need to have everything chopped beforehand. Make this Salmon Piccata Recipe! | @huntgathercook
New England Style Fried Clams Recipe
Hi, my name is Hank and I am addicted to fried clams… Face planting into a basket of fried clams is one of my earliest food memories. Crunchy batter, salty clams, that shellfishy meatiness that only a clam really has — oysters and mussels are too dainty — and just a little whiff of an “ick” factor. After all, you eat the whole clam: foot, belly and all. And who knows what clams eat, anyway? Make these New England Style Fried Clams! | @huntgathercook
Salmon Rillettes Recipe
Rillettes, pronounced “ree-yets,” are one of my favorite appetizers. It’s basically a really rough pâté that’s just barely spreadable. And salmon rillettes are every bit as good as the customary pork or duck rillettes. Far easier to make than a proper pâté and equally less fussy, rillettes are to pate as Armagnac is to a fine Cognac: Just as good, but a little rougher around the edges.

Cream of Crab Soup Recipe
I wish I could call this she-crab soup, but alas, it is cream of crab soup. Both are wonderful, but there is something special about the added crab roe — that’s what makes it she-crab soup. But nowadays, in most places it is illegal to keep female crabs, especially those with that pretty red roe. So cream of crab soup it is. Make this Cream of Crab Soup Recipe! | @huntgathercook
Pickled Pike Recipe
Every so often I get the good fortune to fly up to Canada in search of lake trout, rainbow trout and northern pike. And while I admire the beauty and grace of the trout and its cousins as much as anyone, pike get my blood racing. Trout are a symphony, or perhaps John Coltrane. Northern pike are more like GWAR or Megadeath. Aggressive, arrogant, utterly indifferent to your catching and releasing them, slough sharks are insanely fun to catch. Make this Pickled Pike! | @huntgathercook
Grilled Pompano Recipe
If there is one pompano recipe you’ll want to learn, it’s grilled pompano — a perfect method for cooking this tasty fish. No pompano? This recipe works with all similarly shaped fish, such as large crappies or bluegill, pomfret or butterfish. This recipe works because of the shape of the fish: Pompano and similar fish are flattened vertically, so they are skinny on the grill and cook quickly.

Caldo de Queso Recipe: Sonoran Caldo de Queso Classic Cold Weather Cheese Soup Recipe
A recipe for caldo de pescado, a Mexican fish soup. This is a very simple, rustic soup that relies on fresh fish broth and vegetables based on recipes from northwest Mexico. Caldo de pescado can be whatever you want it to be. Countless recipes exist across the Spanish-speaking world. This version draws on my travels in Baja and Sonora and is reflective of those states, with a little Sinaloa thrown in because, well Sinaloans know their seafood.

Lowcountry Shrimp Perloo Recipe
Perloo, perlo, purloo or pilau, however you spell it this one-pot rice dish is fantastic. I urge you to use American shrimp when you make this recipe, and if you can, use Carolina Gold rice, which cooks a little differently from regular long-grain; but definitely use a long-grain rice if you can't find Carolina Gold.

Learn How to Smoke Mussels
It doesn't matter whether you use wild or farmed mussels for this recipe. Just check any you have before you cook and if they are open, set them on the counter and tap them: if the mussels do not close, toss them. Sometimes mussels will gape when stored for a bit, and when they are cold they don't move very fast, so give this process a few minutes. I smoke my mussels over alder wood or a fruit wood like cherry or apple. Learn How to Smoke Mussels here! | @huntgathercook
Fish Cakes with Wild Rice Recipe
Americans tend to reject fish with more bones than they think are appropriate. This is a shame because many of these fish are fantastic to eat, once you deal with the bones. And this fish cakes recipe is a prime way to fix that problem. Pike, especially, is a wonderful fish. Very firm, very white, as mild to eat as the fish is fun to catch. I had the opportunity to chase gigantic northerns in Manitoba a few years ago. Make this Fish Cakes with Wild Rice Recipe! | @huntgathercook
