Fresh Seafood

[John McLaughlin]

We are so blessed to live near the Ocean City harbor where we are able to purchase fresh local seafood right at the docks. Tonight I made for our son who joined us for Thanksgiving weekend fresh Norwegian cedar plank salmon and Maryland crabcakes served with brownrice.

Nice!! Looks professional. I used to live and work in OC during college summers many years ago. I miss the fresh seafood

Those crab cakes look awesome!

I love getting fresh seafood down here in Florida.... but not so much these days after hurricane Ian. Between the damage caused to all of the fishing and shrimp boats plus contamination in the waters, it is hard to get local seafood right now.

We used to go to Ocean City, MD a lot for summer vacations when I was a kid. Great food and a lot of fond memories!

Nice! What’s the trick with the toothpicks in the salmon?

When a Fishmonger slices salmons from the filet they normally slice it in sections for you. The filet has a thick part and thinner part. In order to get an even cook I fold up the thinner piece to equal the thick piece so they cook the same. I use the three toothpicks to hold that part together. I often do the same when cooking other meats like chicken breasts that may be uneven.
