I’ll be honest. I really stumbled in preparing this meal. It was basically pretty simple in conception, and it should have been simple to execute. It didn’t happen that way, but I managed to recover from several stupid slips, and while it looks a little messy in the picture, it tasted great, and the music …

smoked seafood pâté; seared porgy, herbs, lemon; greens
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, …
porgy, tomato/olive/herb salsa; sautéed purple okra, chili
Colorful goodness. the fish serving began with a salsa prepared by heating 3 tablespoons of a Portuguese house olive oil from Whole Foods Market inside a small vintage Corning Pyrex Flameware blue-glass pot pot over a gentle flame, adding roughly 6 ounces of tomatoes (one sliced orange heirloom from Stokes Farm and a couple of …
porgy on a tomato/olive/herb salsa; celtuce, lovage, pinoli
My recipe says ‘sea bream’ but my fish monger says ‘porgy’. They’re both right, as it turns out. their presentation began with a salsa prepared by heating 3 tablespoons of a Portuguese house olive oil from Whole Foods Market inside a vintage Corning Pyrex Flameware blue-glass pot pot over a gentle flame, adding 5 ounces of tomatoes, a mix of …
sautéed porgy, tomato-olive-herb salsa; choy sum, alliums
The fish was superb, delicious and perfectly cooked (yay, the skin was even crispy this time), as was the salsa, but while the vegetable was also delicious, one look at the rather stiff green stems in the picture above should be enough to show the choy sum wasn’t properly cooked. The next time I prepare it I’ll pull …
porgy, ramps, herb mix, lemon; corn-fennel-tomato salad
Because we loves porgy, I chose porgy from among the selections offered by one of our local fisher families at the Union Square Greenmarket on Monday. Soon after that I spotted some small, seductive, perfect specimens of 2 vegetables I immediately imagined combining to compliment the fish on a warm summer evening. When I arrived home, I was …
porgy, tomato/olive/herb/lemon salsa; asparagus, thyme
I feel that I’ve already said almost all I can on these pages about Porgy, so I’ll only mention that last night I tried a new approach to cooking it, one which mostly followed a simple Gordon Ramsay recipe. It was very easy, pretty stress-free, really delicious, and the results were more photogenic than they had sometimes …
Porgy sautéed with ramps, 4 herbs; red Russian kale, garlic
I continue to experience Porgy (sometimes called Sea Bream) as a great fish. Wow, sounds pompous (like the name, ‘Sea Bream’), but it’s very late at night as I sit leaning over the keyboard. I’ve now used this basic recipe many times, always changing the lineup of ingredients. On Friday I took advantage of our local …
roasted porgy, dill, lemon; roasted asparagus, ramp, thyme
Both parts of this meal were roasted. It’s a cooking process I won’t want to work with very often as the weather warms, but it has a lot going for it. I don’t know that porgy has a season as such, but asparagus, or at least the best asparagus does. This was the best asparagus. I normally go …
grilled whole porgy, mint, chive, parsley, lemon; red kale
I don’t often cook a whole fish. I’m very comfortable with cooking these wonderful creatures, but a whole fish still seems a little scary. Actually, after the experience of this meal, I realize that it’s the process of filleting that may be the most frightening part. There’s also the thing about how I ended up …
