• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

(DAVE IRWIN) Enjoy!

Here are a couple of recipes for the recipe of the week. I just made some of the chowder last night it was friggin awesome. I used fresh amberjack and fresh shrimp from Winn Dixie; I was surprised to see it there.

PINE ISLAND CEVICHIE
1lb fresh gulf shrimp
1lb of whatever boneless filets you have caught that day (Redfish and snook are awesome, but grouper or trout will work as well)
5 large vine ripe tomatoes
2 large Vidalia sweet onions
2 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
1 fresh Jalapeño
10 - 15 limes
2 large avocados
1 bundle of cilantro
Adobe season Complete
4 tbs extra virgin olive oil

Cut shrimp and fish fillets into small pieces about 1/2 inch cubes.
Dice all veggies (I like bigger chunks 1/4 inch or better) Seed and dice into very fine pieces the jalapeño
Cut and squeeze all limes.
Combine lime juice, olive oil, veggies, shrimp and fish in a large bowl.
Add Adobe Season complete and cilantro to taste.
If you like it a little sweeter add a couple of Tbs of sugar.
Last but not least chunk up your avocados and add to bowl.

Let sit over night and enjoy as an appetizer..

Serve as a dip on fresh tortilla chips or eat it as a salad.

This goes exceptionally well with a cold beer or a good bottle of wine.


PINE ISLAND (SMACK YOU MAMA) FISH CHOWDER

2 lbs fresh gulf shrimp
2 lbs fresh amberjack filets or what ever you have caught that day.
2 large cans of lump crabmeat
Any other seafood you have and want to add!!! No Joke, I have added everything from calamari to clams and oysters, it comes out great. The more variety the better.
1 lbs Jimmy Dean regular sausage (if you want to kick up the heat use the spicy sausage)
5 large cans of diced tomatoes
Adobe season complete (Add to taste)
1/4 cup crushed garlic (I like a little more, it is up to your palate)
1/4 cup old bay seasoning (increase or decrease to taste)
1/4 cup sugar in the raw
4 tbs of Louisiana hot sauce
4 large green peppers
4 large onions
1 can of beer

This is a no brainier to cook!!!
Brown the Jimmy Dean sausage in the bottom of your large stock pot, add peppers and onions right at the end and let them cook a little in the sausage. Add garlic and all other seasoning get a good rue going and add all other ingredients.
Turn the heat on low and in about 6 hours you can eat. Stir occasionally and check taste. You may want to add more old bay or other seasoning. Use sugar in the raw to make it sweeter.

You are missing some fine eating there, Chief. The Amberjack is in the same family as the Pompano, ya know.

They make fine fodder for the grill, IMHO.
 
That chowder - is that what they would consider a "Manhattan style" chowder? That's red, I think?
 
I have always found that when making ceviche, it is easier to (1) soak fish in citrus juice (juice of 1 grapefruit, 6 limes) for a couple of hours until cooked through, (2) drain juice, and (3) add onions, peppers, tomatos, cilantro, etc. I do not like to marinade the vegetables with the fish if I can help it.

Amberjack is very good. In some spots, it is pretty wormy though.
 
Adobe season Complete???

Never heard of it. Is it something you buy, or something you make?
