Have you ever been faced with one of those lucky dilemmas? The kind some people call an embarrassment of riches?
Well I just want to spend a bit of what's left of the holiday season thanking my lucky stars. First off, I'm healthy and I sleep in a warm bed at night, further warmed by the love of someone with whom I've spent more than 20 years. I have a beautiful home and wonderful friends. The blogosphere brings me happiness with its own special charms because it's populated with so many terrific people.
That should be enough for one man, right? But guess what – I've also got a freezer full of Wild Alaskan Spot Prawns. Which led to this embarrassment of riches Spicy Alaskan Spot Prawns with Fried Basil.
You see, some friends and I came together to celebrate the holidays with a traditional Italian style Feast of the Seven Fishes. I had the idea when I traveled to Alaska this year to go fishing with Alaska Seafood. In case you didn't know it, the state of Alaska has made it a priority to promote wild, natural and sustainably managed seafood for all the world to enjoy. Seafood is something I'm passionate about. So I approached them with the idea of a seven course holiday meal featuring all kinds of tasty tid-bits from the seas around Alaska. Seven Courses. Seven Cooks. Seven Fishes. The Feast of the Seven Fishes. There will be a lot more about this amazing evening coming very soon. Including a video of the celebration and all its riches. I promise you you will have hankering for fish after you see the meal we sat down to. So ask your market or local restaurant if they can provide you with the very best in Alaskan Seafood and make a feast of your own.
