I had bought two packages of smoked fish salad at the Union Square Greenmarket on Saturday, thinking we’d need that much for 4 people, but we only opened one of them that night. The 2 of us would share the contents of the other container on Monday and Tuesday. a composed smoked fish salad, or pâté, …

seafood sausage, browned butter, vetch; sunchokes; kale
The meal was surf [but with a pork casing] & turf [otherwise only vegetables], even if it looks downright earthy. It was. four sweet seafood sausages from The Lobster Place [salmon, shrimp cod, scallops, Italian seasonings, fennel seed, shallots, pepper, fresh parsley, pork casing] pan-grilled for about 10 minutes, turning regularly, accompanied by a brown butter sauce made by melting a third of …
spinach tagliolini; seafood sausage, brown butter, capers
It was the eve of the New Year, and we were stay-at-homes again, at least in part because we love the opportunity the holiday offers for enjoying simple dining pleasures (after all, the star of the show is the midnight hour itself). I continue to think of this evening as very grownup, and yet pretty magical. …
tomato, feta; garlic/lemon/herbed chicken, trombetta
Because I had brought some terrific Bulgarian-stye feta cheese home from the Union Square Greenmarket, and because the mix of small heirloom tomatoes I’d picked up a number of days earlier was now perfectly ripe. A basket of small heirloom tomatoes, about a pound, a mix of shapes, sizes, and colors, from Eckerton Hill Farm …
smoked sturgeon, gold beet; soft shell crabs, haricots verts
The table was awaiting the guests, but I had forgotten the genial service plates (very large, very shallow, very plain, clear glass) that I had found at a thrift shop long ago. Aside from the fact that this would be one of the first dinners we would be sharing with friends since the epidemic began, …
lemon/rosemary/anchovy-roasted lotte; potatoes; chard
It happened again. The second appearance of this astonishing dish was as delicious, simply assembled, and good looking as the first. I had used the same lotte recipe for the preparation (in the U.S., it’s usually called ‘monkfish’) just a few weeks ago, but yesterday at the Greenmarket I was seduced by two perfect ‘tails’. …
lemon/rosemary/anchovy-roasted lotte; potatoes; greens
It was my first stab at this wonderful, shockingly simple dish, and the recipe had been sitting on our bookshelf for over 15 years. It’s from ‘Italian Easy London River Cafe’ (page 131 in my copy), one of my favorite cookbooks. It also ended up looking far more interesting than the formula would have suggested …
grilled herring fillets, mustard-oregano sauce; boiled potato
oiled and seasoned grilled and plated We both really like herring in virtually any form. This disposition, grilled fresh fillets, is probably less familiar to most fans of clupea harengus (Atlantic Herring) but it’s one of the most satisfying – and it makes a wonderful entrée. The dinner we enjoyed this past Saturday almost duplicated …
fried needlefish; marinated swordfish, heirloom tomatoes
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the incredibly huge variety of local seafood available through the seasons from the fishers in New York’s Union Square Greenmarket four days of the week. It’s just that I’m an obsessive for anything new. Yesterday, long after I made it home with a ‘catch’ that I had never come …
aged steak; oven fries; agretti; super tuscan; Hanson
It was the 4th of July. We were about to enter the fourth month of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown. It wasn’t a cookout (it wouldn’t have been a cookout even without the virus), but it was a great steak and there were some luscious oven fries, very very good steak and very very good oven fries. …
