Garlic Scapes matured over the past few days.
So, cut them and transformed them all into Garlic Scape Pesto.

Last night smothered a couple pork chops with that and gently BarBeed.

Corn on the Cob and Pasta along with a fine Merlot made for a fine feast!

Sorry - forgot the follow-up pix...

Cheers
 
Yesterday a good friend informed me that today is the last day for commercial prawn fishing here, and that one of the local boats would be offering caught-that-day spot prawns for 12 clams a pound!!

So, I was there around an hour before they were expected in.
HUGE buggers, still kicking!
Collected ten pounds.

On the way out, another Buddy (fishes for cod & rockfish) called me over for a BS.
When I went to depart, he said Hold that bucket out!
Then tossed in a nice sized yellow Eye (Red Snapper)!

Great day to be at the docks!!

So of course tonight's din-din will be massive prawns & Yelloweye with a cold salad of some sort!

Cheers,

Follow-up to yesterday's post:

You know the prawns are big when only eight fit on a skewer that usually takes a dozen!

A dribble of butter with a shot of white wine & lemon, then the spices - Bow River Blend from The Silk Road in Calgary (one of THE Best spice shops all round!) for the fish, and red peppers & garlic for the prawns:

Onto the BarBee for a quick sear:

Stuffed jalapeños with a avocado & sour cream lime sauce, tempura battered then deep fried. Sliced into halos and placed ontop of some last years albacore, stuffed into a wonton then deep fried. Topped off with some Wasabi and some rock cod suace. I'll try to form another sentence however I'm speechless :)
