Traveling Again, Happy Easter and Red Snapper Escoviche

redsnapperraw Traveling Again, Happy Easter and Red Snapper Escoviche

I really do love what I do. Sometimes though, it tests my motivation and I simply get tired. I catered a 50th birthday dinner party for 12 last night, so I didn’t get home ’til midnight (I cooked on site). I had to unpack all my cooking gear, feed Geisha, let her out and then pack…new croc wedges: check.

I was at the airport at 6 a.m. for a 7:30 flight to DC.

A sistah is tired.

    I love red snapper done any way. I like this dish. I think I’d add some hot peppers to the party.

    Did you go to the market out Ponce?

    Thanks!!!

    Some of the best Red Snapper I ever had was at the famous Ducks restaurant at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis. Oh yeah, this looks to be something I want to try!

    I have never bought a whole fish before. I will have to try it one of these days. That red snapper dish sounds pretty tasty.

    Red Snapper is one of those fish that I always love in a restaurant but never think to buy/cook it. I dislike green peppers but love yellow and orange so I think it looks more appetizing this time around! I need to start checking out your blog more often, I meant to but forgot to add it to my blogroll! I’ll get on that =)

    I just want to grab that fantastically fresh fish you have there, fill it with herbs and steam it and eat it all by myself :)

    Sounds fabulous…all I need is the sand beneath my feet and a mojito and I’m there:D

    Donald: I got them at this Vietnamese owned Latin Super Market near by parents’ home in DC. Let me know if you try the hot peppers. I know you will! :)

    Luna Pier Cook: Never been to Memphis and this one is really really good but I’m so sorry you can’t see the entire cooked fish! :(

    Kevin: You must try whole fish! The thing won’t bite even though it still had even the teeth!! yikes!

    Ruth E: NO?? girl, you must! You’ll love it! And this was easy to cook for sure, I was surprised actually.

    Nick: Thanks Nick, I’d love to have you back more often. And do make this dish even w/out the green peppers. You’ll really enjoy it. It’s full of flavor! Very distinct.

    SteamyKitchen: BORING trout indeed! I’m hooked on buying whole red snapper.

    Cynthia: I ate leftovers yesterday with no rice. It was so so so good!

    Bellini Vali:     Sand! YESSSSS! I could use some right now too! Mojito! You’ve inspired me to make one for you all!! Watch out!

    i love red snapper. it’s unfortunately that i’m still scared of dealing with a whole fish, because that’s how i find it most often. i have to get over myself.

    I’m with Michelle – call me skurred but I don’t know if I can pull off a whole fish :)

    The snapper looks delish – it’s been too long since I cooked a whole fish, thanks for the reminder! And I hope you have a chance to get rested!

    Nice work on the fish and I love the first photo! Like Ruth, I’ve also never had Red Snapper…I have so much to learn in the seafood world…but this looks like a great place for me to start

    Whoa… bren, i’ve gotta holler here.

    GUYS – IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED A WHOLE FISH, YOU MUST. NOW. NO, SERIOUSLY… NOW.

    K, i’ll stop yelling. But you do not know how amazing fish can taste until you taste it whole. As long as your not skeeved out by the pulling and prodding, you can taste bits of fish (like the CHEEK.. yum) that you never would’ve thought of eating. It really is the cheapest and most delicious way to eat fish.

    nice one, bren!! put your feet up and relax, girl!

    I was just about to say that us Vietnamese love red snapper! Then I read that you got these at a Viet owned……latin market?!! What the?! That’s my people for you, always entrepreneurial and business savvy!

    The snapper dish looks fabulously fresh and flavorful!
    BTW- Did those Viet owners speak Spanish? :)
