Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Thanks for the tips Topper. The method I was using was just a simple BBQ method so it will be nice to mix it up a bit. I'm a Blue cheese fanatic so I love the idea of topping the steak with the blue cheese butter.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Hali was good tonight.
It was quite a thick piece (2 1/2- 3 " thick) and I just basically poached it on the bbq.
EVOO, SP, garlic, white wine, and herbs. Pretty standard for salmon but it was effing tasty. I cant see myself frying that beautiful fish anytime soon.
Lingcod.....indeed.
So, should I waste my time on batter mixes homeade style or just go get one from the store. I have heard varying stories. Was looking to shallow fry some fish this week, dont have a deep fryer or deep dish fry pan.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
On our way home through Kelowna the other day , stopped at Godfather's Seafood Market for the best cod and chips lunch. If you are in Kelowna at lunch time, off the side of this fish monger in a strip mall on Gordon is a great little lunch counter.
Before leaving, I picked up a couple of tuna steaks from the fish monger. Tonight is ponzu cured tuna tataki on a bed of celeriac slaw with citrus yogourt dressed greens and polenta fries. We'll wash it down with a bottle of Black Hills Alibi.
I also bought some frozen monkfish loins and a frozen side of smoked black cod. They will wait for another time.

btw- Polenta fries? I've only ever seen polenta in a grits type form. Is there some kind of solidified polenta product that you just slice and fry?
2011..... the one that got away.
Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
I make my own polenta.
Corn meal, milk/cream, seasonings. It so so cheap and easy, I can not figure out these pre-made tubes.
For soft polenta, use a 8:1 or even a 10:1 milk - corn meal ratio. This will be creamy soft.
For firm polenta 5:1 or 6:1 milk - corn meal ratio.
Start by sauteing fine dices onion and garlic in a pot, add you milk or cream and warm it, then slowly add the corn meal pouring it in "like rain" while stirring. Keep stirring, keep stirring, keep stirring..... Cook it until it is smooth and has lost its grittiness.
For firm polenta, when it gets thick, pour it out onto a greased sheet pan and form into a 3/4 inch layer to cool. From that I cut fries, croutons.... whatever and toss them into a very hot oiled skillet to brown and reheat.
The creamy polenta can be made ahead and nuked to reheat.
I've flavoured polenta with shitake mushrooms (with smoke duck legs and pan seared duck breast), Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika (La Chinita is the best), rosemary and I can't remember what else. Don't forget, any corn product needs lots of salt.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Thanks for the polenta tip there Topper, I was always curious. I've never really liked polenta because of the tube you'd have to buy it in...gonna have to try one on my own one day.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
OK, so the steaks turned out killer.
But more importantly, everyone's favourite Canucks message board war criminal has himself a big date tonight!
Yes, areseholes, with a woman. A very attractive woman at that, and I've come to believe that her good lucks are matched only by her lack of intelligence. BONUS!
Definitely getting it on tonight.
So we're heading out to a local pub for some bar food, complemented with stouts (for me) and moonshine (for her). Then I'm thinking I'll grill up some chicken breasts at home with some of my famous homemade fettucini alfredo. I only indulge in lard one night a week so I'm jonesing for some fat. I just want to make sure the fat is on my plate and not sitting across the table from me. That picture better fucking be recent. I'm shredded like a mofo and I demand a certain standard!
Anyway, for desert I'm thinking leftover caramel cheesecake (what am I, made of money?), a rag soaked with paint thinner, 1 liter of absinthe and a sexual assault charge.
I'm loosening up right now with the greyest of geese!
Enjoy your weekend, gang!
WOOOOOOO!!!

Last time there was a storey like that it ended with wet noodle.
Tell us if the alfredo makes it the the fettuccine.
