Fresh Long Island Fluke And Melon Crudo Recipes

Steps:

• For the mango salsa: Slice the dashi kombu and shiso leaves as thinly as possible. Dice the mango into small cubes. Toss the dashi kombu, shiso leaves and mango together on a cutting board and chop as finely as possible to combine. Set aside.
• For the halibut crudo: Sprinkle the halibut with sea salt, wrap in the dashi kombu and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
• Slice the halibut into 5 thin pieces the size of sushi nigiri (about 2 inches long and less than 1/2 inch thick). Place 5 dots of ponzu sauce (about 1 teaspoon each) on a plate. Roll the halibut slices and stand them on their side on the dots of ponzu. Add 2 drops of the white truffle oil and about 1/2 teaspoon mango salsa to each piece of halibut. Then add a small dollop (1/2 teaspoon or less) of the wasabi tobiko and an even smaller dollop of the black caviar to each piece of halibut. Serve.

Steps:

• Lightly whisk together the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Stir in the chiles and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Slice the fluke into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick, using a very sharp knife. Slice the melon into similar paper-thin pieces. Arrange the melon and fish, alternating slices, on each of 4 chilled salad plates.
• Drizzle the dressing and chiles lightly over the fish and onto the plates with a spoon. Sprinkle some lemon salt over the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Scale and gut fresh 1 1/4- 11/2 pounds Porgy. Prepare a charwood fire and allow the coals to burn down to a hot white ash. Brush the Porgy with olive oil (extra virgin) that has crushed garlic cloves mixed in. Season with sea salt and fresh milled pepper. Cook 2 1/2 minutes on each side ; remove. Drizzle more extra virgin olive oil over each fish ; squeeze lemon. Sprinkle with dry Greek oregano.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. When it foams, add the shallot, garlic, minced mushrooms, chives and parsley; stir to combine. Sauté until the garlic starts to toast and turn golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in 1/4 cup of the wine, the vinegar and lemon juice. Let cook until the liquid is reduced by half, stirring frequently, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Butter a casserole or baking dish large enough to accommodate the fillets of fish in one even layer, and spoon half the sautéed mushroom mixture into it. Arrange the fillets on top, season them with salt and pepper, and cover with the sliced mushrooms.
• Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine into the sautéed mushroom mixture, and drizzle it evenly over the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, and dot over the top.
• Roast until the top is golden and the fish is opaque and flaky, about 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, stir together the orange oil, lime juice and vinegar. Add the chile, shallot, salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too sharp, add a teaspoon honey. Add the fluke, toss gently, and let it sit for several minutes.
• Place celery leaves in the center of each of 6 plates and alternate 2 orange and 2 grapefruit segments around them.
• Mound the fluke on the celery leaves. Spoon the dressing over the fish, sprinkle with capers, parsley, mint, basil and radish slices. Garnish with an orange and grapefruit segment, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Steps:

• Arrange half of the fish on each of two serving plates. Sprinkle with radish, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the fillet in half lengthwise at its natural seam. Then slice the fillet horizontally from end to end at an angle like lox. The slices should be about 1/8-inch thick and 2 inches wide. Divide among 4 small plates. Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, juice the lime over the fish; be generous. Season with sea salt and sprinkle with olive oil. Serve.
