This wonderfully-satisfying pasta dish should be an absolute cinch to put together, once some good fresh smoked eel has been located, but I seem to be married to the original recipe I had found a while back, even if I’ve modified it slightly since, and I still have to pay attention to its instructions and a sequence of …

spaghetti, smoked eel, garlic, two chili sorts, pangrattato
It was the eve of Christmas, La Vigilia, in southern Italy, and in Italian-American families, Festa dei sette pesci, but as we’re neither Italian nor Catholic, I thought we could get away with just one fish last night. But it was a very special fish, and there was pasta too! one large cloves of Rocambole garlic from Keith’s …
smoked eel with chive, horseradish crème; Lachsschinken
Yes. A delicious winter picnic at home, with a very heavy German accent (the picnic, that is). Unusual for this site, the leading image (here the only one) is of the entire old birch table, rather than just one of the plates: I thought it this view would cover more ground, so to speak. The …
spaghetti, smoked eel, garlic, habanada, chili, pangrattato
Like all non-farmed fish, it’s essentially ‘game’, but unlike almost any other fish, it’s actually not ‘fishy’ at all. We love eel, fresh or smoked. We are therefore always very grateful to the folks who are willing to go through the, literally, heroics of cleaning these magnificent creatures. With smoked eel however, the worst of the process, removing the …
grilled shrimp, lemon, oregano; smoked eel pasta primi

Grilling with the shells however, even pan grilling, is …
spaghetti chitarra with smoked eel, garlic, chili, pangrattato
It was the second time I had cooked this delicious simple dish, an adaptation of the one found on this site.

We didn’t have …

spaghetti with smoked eel, garlic, chilli, pangrattato
Continuing the special holiday wild theme (which has featured oysters, smoked bluefish, Scottish hare, and squid ink pasta for starters), on Saturday night we enjoyed smoked eel, seen here in a prominent role within a pasta dish which also included salted anchovies. The recipe is an adaptation of the one found on this site, although I was unable to …
feta; pasta with smoked steelhead, shallot, capers, cream
Friday night dinner. Barry found the recipe. I do the cooking, but he’s very, very good at ordering. I don’t mean ordering me, but ordering food in restaurants or at take out, where I, on the other hand, usually freeze up. It turns out he’s also good at spotting recipes. This was a really good …
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, …
