Greetings!

The weather at the NC coast was a rainy and windy mess most of the week that prevented almost all offshore fishing. Fortunately, we were able to gather all the fresh Greentail shrimp from Georgetown, SC.

Many Blessings with thanks,


Landon

Sal Junta in Kenner, La cooks the best seasoned crawdads in this whole-wide world.

They're cooked for us on Wednesdays, loaded on Southwest Airlines, and sent to RDU where we have to send an extra truck to pick up 800 pounds of these tasty suckers.

PLEASE do not heat them in hot water, else the seasoning will be washed away. Spread them out on your customary newspaper, and let them warm to room temperature. If you think about it, how many mudbugs can you suck before they cool down anyway?
Berkwood Farm's Berkshire Pork Chops
For Juiciest Pork Chops, Use a Quick Brine (30 Minutes!)
After you bring your pork chops home, time to brine! Brining pork chops is one of the best ways way to guarantee a juicy cooked pork chop. Even a quick 30-minute brine (or up to four hours) makes a big difference.

A basic brine is a solution of 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) salt to 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Lay the pork chops (or other thin cut) in a single layer in a shallow dish and then pour the brine over top. Let this sit for anywhere from 1/2 hour to 4 hours before cooking.
Brining actually changes the cell structure within the meat, resulting in a noticeably juicier chop. The salt brine also seasons the interior of the meat. It won’t taste “salty” — just well-seasoned. You can even add other seasonings, like garlic, peppercorns, fresh herbs, and lemon, to the brine for more flavor. If you fear bland pork chops, definitely give brining a try.

Delicious Smoked Trout Pate

She-crab Bisque

Rappahannock Oysters with Mignonette Sauce
Salmon
Our salmon is cut from whole fish into huge fillets which are the sides of the fish without bones. We cut these sides into collars, center cut narrow strips 7-8 OZ., center-cut wide cuts16-24 OZ., and tails. 
Collars are the fattiest of all the cuts and are best for sushi mi and sushi. Tails are the least fatty and are best for medium, medium well, and well-done salmon. Center-cut strips and wide cuts are best for grilling, broiling and sauteing.
Please specify which cuts you prefer.
THIS WEEK'S QUOTATION
Please don't ever assume anything about me or anything that I've said. If you don't know the answer, ask me or be prepared for a terse rebuke.
