Oh my.<\/p>\n

Yes, once again we have access to some wonderful smoked local fish. After a hiatus which had saddened many of their customers, the Karlin family’s\u00a0P.E. & D.D. Seafood Company<\/a>, is again selling this very special fresh delicacy that originates in the hauls from its boats out of Long Island’s North Fork, .<\/p>\n

I was worried that I might not get around to doing something with the gorgeous whole copper-colored mackerel I had picked up almost 2 weeks ago, but smoked fish has serious staying power (in fact, food preservation was its original\u00a0raison d’etre).<\/em><\/p>\n

On Saturday I skinned and deboned the fish and it with some ingredients I already lying around, and I managed to come up with some delicious toasts for assembling a small course to anticipate a good steak. There was enough for two nights, so we will probably be enjoying the remainder tonight, 2 days later, after I finish writing this.<\/p>\n

Another thing special about the whole meal was the fact that both courses included unconventional treats from a local producer on shore<\/em>, Riverine Ranch<\/a>, which raises water<\/em> buffalo in New Jersey, far from waters fished by the Karlin family.<\/p>\n
