March 29, 2013 Fish, Fish and Fish

Breakfast was PPI Seafood Noodle soup with salmon and scallops.

For Lunch, Willy and I went to Azuma.  Willy ordered Spicy Teppan Grilled Beef and I had my usual Chirashi Donburi with 4 pieces of yellowtail, and 2 pieces each of salmon, octopus, Super White Tuna and Ahi Tuna (Maguro), plus daikon pickles and omelet and a shrimp and sushi rice.  I takes me an hour to eat it all, so after Willy finished his plate of meat and fried rice, he took the Prius to be washed

Friday night we decided to fix the lobster claws and salmon in a Homard American manner, so I picked the meat out of the claws and then Suzette, boiled them in water to make a stock.  Then she sautéed onions and garlic in pan with butter and olive oil and added the  fish and lobster and cooked it with a bit of white wine and then laid a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach on it.  

 

 

In another pan she made a Béchamel sauce with the lobster stock grated Swiss Gruyere cheese and she boiled a pot of water and cooked spaghetti.

 

 

Then when we were ready to eat she drained and put the spaghetti in a bowl and than spooned pasta into a pasta bowl and spooned some lobster and salmon sauté on the pasta and then doused the top with the mornay sauce.

 

 We drank a bottle of 2011 La Ferme Julien Blanc ($5.99 at Trader Joe’s) Appellation Luberon Contrôlée from the Rhone Valley which combines Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Ugri Blanc and Roussane grapes.  It was a little flat but drinkabale, though not up to the standard set by our simplified Homard American.

Actually, I think we forgot to add cognac to the lobster dish and fire it, so it lacked a bit of zip also.

A good meal with a heated piece of Bosque Bakery’s baguette and lots of PPIs. 

This was the first time I saw fresh lobster claws at Costco ($9.99/lb.) and I liked the product.

Bon Appétit
