Bahrs

Surprisingly, Sunday lunch is a great time to visit Bahrs Landing on a holiday weekend, at least if the weather is nice. I first went last Labor Day, and then more recently over Memorial Day. On a nice day, everyone is at the beach or on their boat (which can pull right up to the … Continue reading →

Za Reopens with Lobster Bliss

After a five-month post hurricane hiatus, Za Restaurantin Pennington reopens today.  When I read about their hurriane damage last August, I was heartbroken for them, as they’d just expanded, increasing their indoor seating from 38 to 76 people.  But when life gives you lemons… The shopping center where Za is housed needed extensive foundation repair, … Continue reading →

Barnegat Bay Sardines?

How strange to see smoked sardines from Thailand emblazoned with the words Barnegat Bay?  Hey, that’s our bay, and our lighthouse!  And as far as I know, we don’t even have sardines in the bay (at least not to speak of), and easily found another blogger, Jack Krupansky, who agrees with me. My nephew Patrick sent … Continue reading →

Lobster & Cookies

This was a great Christmas Eve dinner, on an evening I was home finishing up preparations for Christmas Day.  I made a lazy cook’s version of the Lobster with Browned Cream from the Fall/Holiday edition of Canal House Cooking.  (That’s the one with the blue cover, snap one up while you can.) Instead of dealing … Continue reading →

Bluefish

Speaking of McCaffrey’s (see previous post), when I was there a couple weeks ago, I saw bluefish at the fish counter and couldn’t resist bringing a piece home.  Compared to other fish, bluefish is cheap, under $10 a pound.  Some don’t care for its stronger flavor, but I love it. My father used to catch … Continue reading →

Masala Salmon

This was another easy and delicious dinner.  Or two, since that piece of fish was pretty big and I only ate half this evening. I like the meatiness of a steak cut instead of a fillet occasionally, when it comes to salmon.  I know I sound like a broken record about this, but having those bones … Continue reading →
