Yesterday I shared my recipe for a grilled sea bass sandwich with sriracha mayo in the Fresh Fish, Part 1 post. Today I’ve got a make-you-drool crab and scallop chowder. This is a perfect meal for the winter time. It’s warm and comforting and great to pair with a small salad or serving of green vegetables. I used fresh lump crab meat and frozen wild-caught scallops which were also super fresh. Frozen seafood can be a great resource when you buy from high-quality suppliers. The frozen wild scallops I got from Whole Foods were amazingly fresh.

Last weekend I bought some fresh seafood from Fairway, a well-known grocery store in NYC. In my opinion, Fairway is one of the best places to buy seafood because their fish counter is nestled inside a walk-in refrigerated section of the store that ensures everything stays super fresh. The fish is always kept super cold on ice and the fish counter never smells “fishy.”
These days I’m still eating a mostly vegan diet, but I enjoy eating fresh fish every now and then. I like to stay flexible with my eating habits, because I have no idea how I’m going to feel day-to-day, month-to-month, or year-to-year. However, one thing stays the same. I love fresh, healthy, and natural food. I can’t imagine that changing!
On Friday night I made grilled sea bass sandwiches and a crab and scallop chowder. They both came out amazing! I told my boyfriend that I was patting myself on the back after a night of hard work in the kitchen. After taking a break from cooking over the holidays, I really missed cooking and had so much fun staying indoors on a Friday night. Today I’m sharing the grilled sea bass sandwich with you (fresh fish, part 1). It’s a whole get-your-hands-messy meal on its own. Stay tuned for the crab and scallop chowder recipe coming tomorrow (fresh fish, part 2). I hope you enjoy them!
