Beurre blanc has no cream. There! I said it! <BR/><BR/>It still looks amazing, Susan. Don't mind me. I get a little crazy about this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I go to the coast, I bring a cooler just in case, but usually I hafta buy an entire, huge fish from a guy off his boat to get fresh seafood. 18 lbs. is just too much tuna. :PHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630354073303047529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834264313759237349.post-85851239363740591642008-03-30T03:27:00.000-04:002008-03-30T03:27:00.000-04:00Beautiful flavours Susan - I will have to look out...Beautiful flavours Susan - I will have to look out for tangelos.Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834264313759237349.post-75874584947038097262008-03-30T02:13:00.000-04:002008-03-30T02:13:00.000-04:00Love, love, love flounder.

It is also close to Boca Grande, which is a big fishing area. I'm not surprised that you found your fish guy there. Unfortunately, that is about an hour drive from me and I just don't have the time to make a trip like that to get fish. <BR/><BR/>You should let me know when you get to your parents' place. Maybe we could hook up and have lunch one day. :)<BR/><BR/>Judy- Believe it! There used to be a few places out on Siesta Key, but no more. I think that you can still catch the fishing boats come in down at Venice Pier, but that is at least a 30 minute drive from me. I'll have to investigate a little deeper. Maybe I'm missing something.<BR/><BR/>Peter- Great minds think alike! Our town is very cosmopolitan (read-snooty). The powers that be are more interested in the opera, museums and $500/plate charity balls. They have been trying to squeeze out the little roadside entrepreneurs for years. But, maybe I haven't searched in the right places.<BR/><BR/>Elly- Thanks! I agree about the pistachios!<BR/><BR/>Kevin- If you ever find Minneolas, give them a try. They are incredible sweet and juicy, with hardly any seeds. I like them better than oranges!<BR/><BR/>RecipeGirl- Thank you! I was really happy with the whole combo. Fish, citrus and nuts go well together.<BR/><BR/>Manggy- The Mom and Pops got crushed by "progress". Condo developers started buying up all the land they could find and putting up ridiculously overpriced condos that only the smallest percentage could afford. Now, they can't unload them! Believe it or not, historical buildings and beautiful parks have been demolished in the middle of the night to make way for downtown office buildings, etc., with no consequences. It's all about the money here.<BR/><BR/>Marie- Thanks! I think that the Minneolas are fading out now. I'll see if I can still find them.<BR/><BR/>Obsessive- Fish tacos!!! Shit! I did have leftovers and did not think of that. That would have been awesome.<BR/><BR/>A spear fisherwoman? Lol! Honey, my idea of "roughing it" is a hotel with no room service! <BR/><BR/>Gretchen- Thanks! I always ask and smell. Even if they tell you it is fresh, it has to pass the "nose test"! ;)Susan @ SGCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156812413651058664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834264313759237349.post-88253600496147913422008-03-29T07:32:00.000-04:002008-03-29T07:32:00.000-04:00Great idea!
