HOME COOKING: Best Prince Edward Island Seafood Recipes to Do Home – Lobster chowder – Atlantic Scallops au Gratin – Baked Stuffed Haddock
You saw that great Seafood on REGIS & KELLY.
And you also watched those Canadian Mounties in their Red Serge jackets and broad-brimmed Stetsons.
You took the road to Avonlea Village, saw Anne of Green Gables. Saw Kelly horseback riding. Met popular actors and singers while white-sailed boats cruised the choppy blue waters behind them.
And, yes, you watched Kelly and Regis sampling that great PEI Atlantic seafood.
I graduated PEI’s famous Holland College Culinary Course over 33 years ago and finished my apprenticeship under the chef in PEI’s North Rustico seafood restaurant IDLE OARS, before moving on to Nova Scotia – all the while cooking and tasting the great Atlantic Coast recipes.
To experience seafood at its best, you can get it direcly off the fishing boats. But with today’s high tech refrigerating, you can also get fresh and freshly frozen fish and shellfish in your local markets that really make for easily-made, delicious meals.
If you want, you can go Novelle Cuisine. Prepare entrees like Tortellini with Smoked Atlantic Salmon, Lobster in Puff Pastry or Mushroom Caps Stuffed with Periwinkles. Great stuff!
If your family loves Seafood, go for the above. But if your family isn’t used to the more inventive recipes, I’ve gathered some of my most popular recipes, both for restaurant and home cooking.
>>> So if you want to prepare a delicious meal to impress family, friends or even a hot date – maybe someone you met on a romantic dating site – here are a few of my favourite easily prepared Atlantic Seafood Recipes…
