See what this does for your taste buds – Smoked Scallops, Smoked Cheddar Bourbon Soup, and artisanal smoked pancetta, all brought together as part of a larger smoked, bourbon tasting menu. Yeah, my tastebuds almost fainted, I almost fainted, my family was inarticulate as they simply scarfed their share of our samples. Brian Treitman, of BT’s Smokehouse,...

Q turned 11 this last weekend and we feasted, as we always do on her birthdays, on steamed lobsters. This is what it looked like last year’s party. This year the party got started so late it was just not worthwhile to shoot it all in the darkness. I really do need better lighting in...

If you love oysters you likely have your own way of describing the experience of eating them. If you don’t like them, you probably have a more vivid description. If you have never eaten a raw oyster but are the sort to give new things a try, a description may do you some...

I found these really cute sushi soaps at The Paper Source and thought I would share. One day, I spent a couple of hours driving around looking for some guest soaps for the bathroom and find NONE! I was so darn frustrated. With these soaps you can satisfy the need to spiffy up the bathroom for...

(Sample of pan seared tuna) If you can believe it, I have even more photos from the IBSS. This set today is from a cooking demonstration at the cooking theater that day. The Phillips Seafood Company had some of their corporate chefs cooking up some of their products. My feet were screaming for...

There was a sense of manifest destiny around this dish when it came together for me the other day.

I was walking through the IBSS and came across some Southeast Asian seafood purveyors who had some interesting displays, this one included. These animals are much larger than most shrimp, you would likely need two hands to hold one...

When my daughter and I went to the 2007 International Boston Seafood Show this last Monday, we got to meet Kathy Maister and Stephen from startcooking.com and stephencooks.com respectively. Wow, what a couple of awesome foodies and food bloggers. We were chatting (after various mishaps in trying to find one another in that...

[This post appeared on the Paper Palate blog, a member of the Well Fed Network] (Source: Hoffman Media, click image to go to magazine order page) I watch only a few shows on the Food Network, two of those being Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” and Paula Deen’s “Home Cooking“. I do not watch the “Paula’s Party” show...

I am now processing some of the photos I took at the International Boston Seafood Show of 2007. Here are a couple fun shots of a motorcycle tricked out to look sorta like a shark and fish. Its sorta reminiscent of the fish car I shot at last year’s show. Much more later. Technorati Tags: International Boston Seafood Show,...
