Gone Fishing, Part 2 Sardines & Anchovies
Hello gents, this is part 2 of our early morning walk today.
We walked along the wharf and turned in at Tunaville run by Tommy Gomes the fish monger.
Unsurprisingly, they had fish! Tommy came out and talked with us for awhile.
He has procured the best selection of canned & jarred fish treats I have ever seen.
Check this out!
More!
Yes, we bought a few cans.
We didn’t buy a lobster though.
I was hungry for fish chowder, so as soon as we arrived home I started off browning some carrots, potatoes, golden beets, golden tomato.
I’m allergic to onions and getting intolerant of garlic, so these are my aromatic selections.
Some herbage from the garden makes it even more enticing.
and I had a bit of pork left from the other night’s tenderloin extravaganza.
I asked for a pound of mixed fish from the fresh catch this morning at Tunaville… this is a trick I learned when we lived in England. The fish monger is happy to make a deal, and it adds variety to the chowder.

I cook the fish gently first in the skillet, then add it to the vegetable with some milk, cream, butter or whatever.
Looked and smelled great! This is just the milk and olive oil, turned golden by the golden beets and carrots.
It was a treat with a few oyster crackers and a bit of sake.
I would have topped it with parsley but the swallowtail butterflies have taken over our parsley plants.
Just as we got ready to eat my wife shouted, “Get a picture” and I made it just in time.

Thanks for joining us on this morning’s walk.

PS - this other dish with fish nuggets on lettuce is fun too. Just roll them in a spoonful each of flour, corn meal and panko crumbs (whatever you have) and cook for a few minutes in olive oil. This has persimmon on top.

Hello gents, this is part 2 of our early morning walk today. Part 1 is over in Time Out - this link will take you there We walked along the wharf and turned in at Tunaville run by Tommy Gomes the fish monger. Unsurprisingly, they had fish! Tommy came out ...
I was thinking of going down and saying “Give me a tin of each one"
Might have to sell a watch or two though… to afford it
My first thought was…
If I ever come to visit I need to bring an empty extra suitcase 😂
Darn, the caterpillars are back again in full force.🙁
But the seafood dishes looked great.👌🏽
Nice photos
God bless your great cooking skills. If I tried this-instant hospitalization.
This is looking thoroughly enticing 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
The variety of canned fish as well as what you have made out of the fresh ones 😋 Has the onion allergy always been there?
I have always loathed the smell, I used to be able to eat them if cooked
but now I have to physically move away from the smell of uncooked onions in the store or a restaurant. I get burning on my lips and tongue after even a grain of rice sized piece. I can’t sleep through the night if I have onion gravy or anything with onion...
Wasn’t doubting the intolerance - I know how it is with me and tomatoes…
With me the reaction is quick and unpleasant - they usually return the way they came in within a minute 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ The good thing is, afterwards I am largely OK 👍🏻 Good to know that any sardine dishes I might do for you need to be altered accordingly 😊 ...
Fish and onions don’t mix in my book
No herring for me, no lox or bagels. You are lucky in one way - Tomatoes can usually be spotted with the unaided eye, while onions are much more devious!
You’d be surprised…
I have often found myself in the situation, where I ordered a starter and main and mentioned when selecting the starter that I was allergic to tomatoes. The starter then came without but the main with, because I did not explicitly mention that the allergy...
I had the same thing at a Thai restaurant
Pad Thai no onions, duck covered with them?!!
