We went to Costco at 10:00 so Suzette could shop for the
Greenhouse Bistro and Bakery and Santa Rosa.
While we were walking around shopping, we saw there was a Seafood
Festival, so we bought a fresh halibut steak for dinner ($9.99/lb.) and a Dungeness
crab ($6.99/lb.) for Sunday brunch.
After we rode to Rio Bravo and back on the tandem, at around
7:00 Suzette salt and peppered the halibut and made incisions and stuck pads of
butter into them and squeezed lemon on it and grilled it while we steamed asparagus
and sautéed cubed PPI baked potatoes, chopped onion, garlic, capers and
sundried tomatoes in a skillet with 2-3 Tbsps. of butter.
When the fish was finished grilling we plated the halibut,
asparagus and potatoes on plates and poured glasses of PPI La Ferme Julien
Blanc.
The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious with a squeeze
of lemon on it. It was hard to decide
which was a better combination: the sundried tomato with the steamed asparagus or
the halibut and pieces of fried potato. I could not help remembering the Fish
and Chips I ate at Tofino, B.C. with Willy a couple of years ago at a
restaurant overlooking the fishing harbor watching boats coming through the fog
into harbor with their freshly caught halibut.
Bon Appétit
