that you have ever seen. We cooked chicken sausages and asparagus on it a few nights ago, today, we’re finding out if broccoli will give us the same yummy results when placed on the hot grill after being coated in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.<\/p>\n“D’ya think it’s the same thing as marlin?” I asked J, and he shrugged. The cashier was equally as informative saying that it looked “kinda sharky. The marlin is usually cut differently.” I looked it up pronto upon our return home and was relieved to learn that our choice was a good one. I really do wish the stores would label their sustainable seafood. It doesn’t mean every consumer has to buy that stuff, but I know I’d appreciate not having to do research to eat my dinner with a clean conscience.<\/p>\n
The fish marinated in olive oil, garlic and herbs for a while and then spent a little time on the hot grill – side by side with the broccoli. The fish was moist and very flavorful, the broccoli a nice change from your usual steamed or sauteed state, still crispy but a little charred around the edges. I could do a lot of blowing my own horn here, but I’d rather quote my understated mate: “It’s okay, you can continue with the grilling.” This is high praise from a guy who doesn’t say much. Trust me, it was awesome.<\/p>\n Some pals of ours<\/a> recently went grill crazy too, we had a very funny conversation about the manliness of grilling, shopping for grills, the size of your grill, manning it up about the hardware store, etc… I just went online, read some reviews, found one I liked, and clicked add to shopping cart. Our grill might be girlie as hell in its procurement methods, modest size, cute package and minimal needs for space, but I cooked up some kickass fish on it.<\/p>\n Tomorrow, we’re doing chicken.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Blog note: I installed a bit of code that pulls old posts from the archives and publishes them on the home page.
