I’ve only become a fan of tacos in the past year and prefer fish over chicken or beef. I’ve tried this recipe with cod. Crab would be another good choice. The list of ingredients seems long but it’s quick to prepare and serve. I usually make guacamole with diced tomato but because this recipe includes fresh salsa you can leave out the tomato.

recipe:

1. corn: preheat oven to 350 degrees. roast corn with husks for 30 min.
2. cabbage: combine cabbage, salt, pepper, minced jalapeno, mayo, sour cream, 1 tbsp lime juice and set aside
3. salsa: combine tomato, chives, red onion, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp lime juice and set aside
4. guacamole: combine garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, avocado, 1 tbsp lime juice and set aside
5. tortilla: heat each tortilla over high heat in cast iron skillet for 1-2 minutes each
6. fish: salt, pepper, and flour cod. sear in non-stick skillet with remaining jalapeno until fish is opaque. discard jalapeno.

Serve corn with butter and assemble tacos.

ingredients: (serves 2)

3/4 lb cod fish cut into 2-3″ long pieces, 1/2″ thick
6 small corn tortillas
4oz thinly shredded red cabbage

I love to collect matchbooks and packs of sugar from restaurants, and items from all the beach combing to remind me of the nice places I visit. This week I framed the sticker off the brown paper bag from Cavaniola’s shop in Sag Harbor together with matchbook covers from Pierre’s restaurant in Bridgehampton.

This is now in the kitchen.

And on the sideboard are some more shells.

take a look at some of the photos that made it into the new book.
