Oh there is definitely something fishy in OC MD! It’s the delicious fresh fish I found at Crab N’ Cruz in Ocean Pines and subsequently made beautiful summer dinners with for two nights with my girl Stephanie!
We ventured down to the eastern shore on Friday night in preparation for our 4 mile Dewey Beach Classic Catering Race on Saturday! Stephanie had brought some delightful fresh veggies from a roadside stand and from her organic box service!
Friday’s dinner was a simple and fast one - cooked the corn in boiling water for 6 minutes, laden with butter and old bay, the greens and cucumbers were dressed with a simple viniagrette (red wine vinegar, evoo, lemon juice, s&p) and the exciting part- orange roughy! was sauteed in olive oil for about 6 minutes and dressed with butter, lemon juice, s&p and capers!
Saturday night was a similar meal- just with a little asian twist! Mahi Mahi was our fish of choice and both that and the beans (boiled in water for 5 minutes and then shocked in ice water, then reheated in the hot nonstick pan the fish was cooked in) were dressed with a cilantro sauce.
Sauce Ingredients: (that were pulverized in the food processor!)
handful of cilantro, washed and dried
1/2 cup evoo
2 tbsp red wine vingegar
s&p
1 tsp red pepper flakes
4 tbsp lite soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
These meals were delightful and very healthy! That’s good since we both read In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan while at the beach, which makes us want to vomit thinking about eating processed food… too bad I love processed food and uhhh ate oreos for dinner last night? with skim milk though!
