Steamed Littleneck Clams in Saffron Broth with Butter

(Single Serving, multiply by how every many people you are trying to feed)

Ingredients:

  • 12 littleneck clams, scrubbed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 shallot, finely chopped

  • A pinch of saffron threads

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine

  • 1/2 cup seafood or chicken broth

  • 1 l-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Salt and black pepper to taste (no salt is needed because the clams are very briney) 

  • 1/2 Lemon juiced 

  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Clams: Scrub the littleneck clams under cold running water to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any clams that are cracked or open and won’t close when lightly pressed.

  • Saffron Broth: In a small pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped shallot, and saffron threads. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic and shallot are fragrant and the saffron releases its color and aroma.

  • Adding Liquids: Pour in the white wine and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Add the seafood or chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  • Steaming the Clams: Add the cleaned littleneck clams to the pot. Cover with a lid and let them steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that haven't opened after cooking.

  • Butter and Seasoning: Once the clams are cooked, add the butter to the broth. Let it melt into the broth, stirring gently to incorporate. Season the broth with salt and black pepper if needed and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

  • Serve: Serve with slices of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.

Baked Stuffed Clams

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 45 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients
· Handful of large clams
· 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
· 3 tablespoons minced onion
· 1 clove garlic, minced
· 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
· 1 cup breadcrumbs
· 1 tablespoon lemon juice
· 2-3 sloshes of champagne or white wine
· 1 tablespoon clam juice (or cooking liquid from steaming the clams)
· Salt, to taste
· Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
· 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Directions
Fill a large pot with 1 1/2 to 2 inches of water or beer. Bring liquid to a boil. Add the clams to the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the clams steam for approximately 6 to 10 minutes, until the shells open. Remove clams from the pot and let cool enough to handle. Discard any clams that have not opened (if they haven't opened it means they were dead to begin with and should not be eaten). Separate the meat from the shells (not the clam foot which is attached to the shell) and mince finely. 

Break apart the clam shells from their hinges. Rinse. Pick 10 to 12 of the cleanest, nicest looking clam shells and set aside. 

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a rack in the center of the oven.

In a sauté pan, melt the butter on medium heat and add the minced onion. Once the onions have softened add the garlic. Cook the garlic for 1 minute, then add the parsley, bread crumbs, minced clams, lemon juice, champagne and clam juice. Stir until the stuffing mixture is completely moistened. If too dry, add a bit more butter or clam juice; if too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the clam shells, sprinkle with Parmesan. Lay clam shells on a baking dish. Bake at 350°F for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, until Parmesan is lightly browned on top.

Serve.

Jamaican Curried Mackerel

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 25 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients
· 2-3 lb whole mackerel or 3-4 fillets
· 2-3 leaves lemon verbena


For the curry:
· 1 clove garlic
· 1 inch piece of ginger
· 2 sprigs thyme
· 2 tablespoons dill
· 2 tablespoons cilantro
· ½ tablespoon all-spice
· 2-3 scallions
· 3 chives
· 2 leaves rosemary
· ½ cup special sauce (Culantro, Cilantro,  Thyme, All Spice, Garlic, Ginger, Shallot, Olive oil in a jar refrigerated for at least 2 days – keeps well in the refrigerator for a few weeks!)
· Olive oil


Directions
If Mackerel are whole – remove head behind the dorsal fin and remove tail. Cut along backbone to remove backbone and gut fish. Don’t worry too much about removing all the bones, they are easy to pull out after cooking.

Rinse well and lay fish out butterflied on a baking sheet skin side down.

Prepare the curry. Add all “curry” ingredients, including the special sauce, except olive oil, into a mortar and pestle and grind until a paste is made. Add olive oil until the paste is a consistency that is easy to spread.

Using a basting brush – baste the fish with the herb sauce generously on the meat side and let them sit for up to a half hour to marinade.  Lay a lemon verbena leaf in the center of the fish and fold the filet over onto itself.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and peel the skin off the top layer if you wish and serve!

Seasoning A:
· ¾ teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon rice wine
· 2 teaspoon sesame oil
· 1 tablespoon frying oil

· 1 tablespoon sugar
· ¼ cup light soy sauce
· 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce

Add water, beer, scallions, bay leaf, celery and black pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Add steamer clams and cook until they open (7-10 minutes). Discard unopened clams. Strain broth and reserve for rinsing shucked clams. Serve with melted butter. 

For the grilled cod:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil grates. 

Make a spice blend with paprika, garlic, onion, oregano, thyme, cayenne, celery, salt and pepper and you can add all spice or cloves if you choose. Lather fish lightly in a little olive oil and dredge in spice blend. 

Grill skin side down on medium-high indirect heat for 4 to 5 minutes and flip fish, cook for another 3 to 4 minutes till the fish just barley becomes flaky.

Fish will not stick to the grill grates if it is cooked enough - if the fish is sticking let it cook a little longer before flipping.

For the scallops:

Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan. Sprinkle scallops with Old Bay, salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. Make sure skillet is hot, add scallops. Sear scallops on one side, flip and sear another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Serve hot.

Sweet and Sour Bluefish

This recipe is from Aliya Zarei as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 1 hour

Serves: 2

Ingredients
· 2 tablespoons chili sauce
· 2 tablespoons ketchup
· 2 tablespoons pineapple or plum sauce
· 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· 1 cap full of white vinegar
· Dash of light soy sauce
· 1lb fish filet, cut into bite-sized chunks (any fish would work, but today I’m using local bluefish)
· 1 teaspoon salt
· ½ cup of all-purpose flour
· About ¼ cup of oil for frying
· 1/2 medium yellow onion
· 1/2 bell pepper
· 1 red chili (optional, I just wanted more color)
· 1/2 cucumber, cubed
· About ¼ cup of pineapple chunks
· 1/2 cup water
· White pepper, to taste
· Salt, to taste

For serving:

· Jasmine rice

Directions

Mix chili sauce, ketchup, pineapple sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, white vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl.

Season fish with salt, and coat in all-purpose flour. Fry fish in hot oil until golden. Remove fish from pan. Remove most of the frying oil, leaving only about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Fry yellow onion, bell pepper and red chili until nice and aromatic. Add cucumber and pineapple, fry them a little while until there’s a little char on the veggies and fruits. Pour in the sauce mixture, let cook until simmer, and add water, bring to boil. Give it a little taste and adjust salt, white pepper and sugar to your preference. Stir fish into the sweet and sour sauce. Serve with jasmine rice!

PS. You can add cornstarch to thicken the sauce but most of the seasonings already contain thickening agents so I never find that necessary.

Crispy Whole Fried Black Sea Bass with Easy Spicy Thai Salad

This recipe is from Aliya Zarei as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecoystem.

Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients
For the fish:
· 1 whole black sea bass
· ½ cup corn starch & ½ cup rice flour (rice flour is optional but it gives nice, lighter crispy batter. If not using rice flour, increase amount of corn starch)
· Salt
· Oil for deep frying


For the Thai salad:
· Your choice of fruits/veg i.e. young papaya, cucumber, carrot, young mango. I used half of young papaya in this recipe
· Sugar (palm sugar if you have, otherwise mix brown and white sugar) - adjust according to your preference. I used one small cube of palm sugar.
· 2 cloves of garlic
· 3 hot chili peppers (or sub with pepper flakes). Feel free to reduce or increase amount accordingly
· 1 tablespoon fish sauce - adjust according to your preference
· Juice 1.5 limes - adjust according to your preference
· 1 shallot
· Your choice of herbs, such as Thai basil or Italian basil, mint, cilantro, dill
· Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts, fermented fish sauce, ½ tsp dried shrimp or anchovies

Directions

For the fish:

Score both sides of the fish (deep, all the way to the bones) - this will help fish cook evenly. Generously season with salt and then lightly coat with flour mix. Carefully slide fish into hot oil (don’t worry if the fish is slightly bigger than your pan/wok, just be sure to tilt the pan/wok and baste those uncovered areas with hot oil). Use a tong and wide/large spatula to carefully flip fish. Cook the fish for about 15-17 minutes in total or until golden and crisp.

For the Thai salad:

Julienne and thinly slice your choice of fruits/veg i.e. young papaya, cucumber, carrot, young mango etc. Use a pestle & mortar to pound sugar, garlic and pepper. Once sugar is crushed, add the rest of the ingredients and pound them together (lightly, only to bruise and release the flavors and tomato juices, we are not making a paste). If you don’t have a pestle and mortar, you can simply chop the aromatics (shallot, garlic, hot chili pepper or sub with pepper flakes) followed by mixing the seasonings (sugar, fish sauce, lime juice) before adding the veggies in and let them rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assembly:

Serve fish overtop Thai salad. Optional: sprinkle with chopped peanuts, drizzle with fermented fish sauce and dried shrimp or anchovies.
