Craig in the kitchen: Fish stock

September 1, 2010 at 2:50 pm

September 2010 By Craig Bergeron This stock is so much better than the store-bought, sodium-soaked stocks we find in the supermarkets. The key to making it is to let it cook at a slow simmer (not a rolling boil). I like to make this in big batches and freeze itRead More

It’s Manisses codfish-cake time!

September 2007 By Mike Martel This recipe, named after Block Island’s Hotel Manisses, is good for a cold, wet day in an away-harbor when the wind is up, and it’s cloudy and raining and you’re swinging on a hook or a mooring and it’s too early yet to go ashoreRead More
