Crab Rolls
25 mins – This is an easy, light, and refreshing sandwich you can throw together anytime. The recipe calls for Dungeness crab, but feel free to use shrimp or any shellfish available to you. The brioche is nice and sweet and compliment the salty crab salad perfectly. Oh and don’t forget to butter toast those…

Shrimp Aguachile
20mins – Similar to ceviche, this is a flavorful Mexican appetizer with shrimp marinated in a lime juice in a bright and spicy chile and cilantro sauce.

Seared Fish with Spicy Avocado Sauce
18mins – This dish is inspired by the now closed Mr. Donahue’s in NYC (RIP). The sauce is guac meets nuoc mam, and can be used on just about anything.

Filet-o-Fish
25mins – This is a simple fry done right. Pay attention to your heat, trust your timing, and assemble while everything is still hot. The difference is in the details.
