Sardine Sandwich?

Did someone say Sardine Sandwich? Yes I know, about 95% of people in the U.S. would pass on a Sardine Sandwich quicker than kudzoo, but wait just a moment. Most folks wouldn't think twice about eating canned tuna, right? So why the aversion to sardines? You'd probably say sardines are fishy and tuna is not, but that 's not always true. If you choose a high-end, high-quality, fresh sardine they are really very mild and not more fishy than canned tuna. If you're not convinced, try ordering them in a fine seafood restaurant. Environmentally conscious chefs accross the country are experimenting with these tiny, sustainable fish while boycotting other less sustainable fish.

Health-wise, sardines are very high in cholesterol lowering fatty amino acids, virtually mercury-free and packed with iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, calcium, copper and vitamin B, vitamin D and ....... they're cheap!

Le Gourou will soon make and post a luscious sardine sandwich recipe. Stay tuned mes amis, Sam

Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich!!

Aside from lobster, soft-shelled crab are likely to be the highest priced item on any seafood menu. The reason is all about timing.

In order for a blue crab to grow larger it must periodically shed its hard shell. During this molting process the crab slides out of the hard shell and for a short period of about 3 to 4 hours is in a soft stage. If removed from the water at this stage, the shell will not harden.

In their natural environment, blue crabs begin shedding their shells on the first full moon of May and are harvested from April through September.

Another one from Sam's Signature Series. The crème de la crème

Ingrédients
4 soft shell crabs
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
Salt & black pepper
1 box radish sprouts
1 Tbls Olive oil
6 Tsps Ponzu sauce
3 Tbls Sam's Mayopeno spread
1 loaf rustic Italian bread sliced

Préparation
Heat vegetable oil to 300 degrees in a deep pot or deep fryer
Clean crabs with water and blot dry with paper towels
Coat crabs well with egg and then panko
Deep fry each crab separately until the shell turns red and the panko becomes golden brown
Remove and drain crabs; set aside

Discard the roots of the radish sprouts
Lightly season sprouts with olive oil, ponzu, salt, and black pepper
Spread Sam's Mayopeno over bread (toasted or not)

This is one of my favorites, you will love it!

Hot Pursuit Yields Bag of Sandwiches

After fleeing the scene of an accident and leading police on a chase last Tuesday, Mr. Turoqua Correll, age 30 of Salisbury was charged with 2 counts of assault, misdemeanor larceny, injury to personal property, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphenalia, and carrying a concealed weapon. Nice work!

While shopping at a local discount market, Mr. Correl hit a man from behind and knocked him to the ground. Then pushed a pickle jar into a woman's foot and stole a paperbag containing what else?

A Fish Sandwich, Cheeseburger and French Fries! He later drove his Isuzu Rodeo into the back of a Cadillac Escalade and without stopping, jumped onto the Interstate. Highway Patrol continued the pursuit and finally stoopped Correll finding marijuana and a machete in his car.
Correll was sentenced and will be in jail for his next few meals. But I'm wondering if and when he was able to eat his bag of sandwiches.
