It came frome the sea TD entry

crab, treasure of the sea.

Now I know it's supposed to be shown in raw form but I've never seen raw crab legs at the market so that's as raw as your gonna get from me. If it gets DQed than its dilly bar for dessert I suppose.

Crab with a side of steak. Surf and turf is a great concept.

I tried to craft an entry that would be eligible for 2 throwdowns, it can be a fun challenge. As usual for me this cook was simple ingredients with simple preparation, I suppose I'm just a simple man.

Here's my polling pic

Steak, crab, baked potatoe, beans and biscuits. Mmmm

CharredApron · Mar 16, 2015

Fine crab legs there! Most crab is processed at sea, Highly perishable and it would stink like a great big bottle of clorox on board. Love me some crab though.

Wow! Two nice entries to start this off. I plan to put in an entry later this week, I better get thinking if I want to compete with you guys.

robbq · Mar 16, 2015

Ok, not my best work but I am going out of town and wanted to enter something. I cooked some outstanding prawns along with the steak throwdown. And I think the mermaid makes it extra special. I got her from the rim of a really good cocktail.

And the plated goodies. Please use this as my entry photo.

Thanks for looking.

food4thot · Mar 19, 2015

Excellent entries so far.

Considering entering but sorting out how to go about it. Shellfish always present with a bang. Fish, not so much.

This will be a tough one if choosing to do swimmers over crawlers

food4thot · Mar 21, 2015

3 entries so far.

Can this challenge be extended another week or three?

Shagdog · Mar 21, 2015

I always enter a "plate" shot, but I really like that middle shot on the grill.

Thanks for looking all!

Keep on Qing:-D!

Official Humble entry

There is some great entries on this one! :thumb:

I will add my humble entry of Salmon and Prawns as an oficial entry in the "It Came From the Sea" TD.

It is very gratifying to catch and then cook the food - I am fortunate to live where I can get great sea food, game, and veggies.

This is a pretty simple method of grilling Salmon but I do lke it.

Fried Pompano with Mango Habanero Salsa and Sweet and Savory Brussel Sprouts

This is my entry into the "It Came from the Sea, Part 2" throwdown".

And finally for the Fried Pompano here is the fish before filleting.

And after

Here are the fillets. Normally they leave the skin on this fish so I left the skin on one to see what the difference would be. (In fact this fish is very often cook whole)

I drizzled on some citrus infused EVOO, spread that out and then some Fresh Ground Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

Now I took a C.I. skillet and heated up 1 tbsp. of citrus infused EVOO and then added 2 tbsp. of butter.

Added the fish and fried for 4 minutes.

Flipped and another 3 minutes.

And now plated with a nice Rose’ wine.

Here’s the Money Shot below.

Delicious! :becky:
