Cheese and Fish
October 22, 2009
I’m planning an epic dinner party that defiles the sacred Italian belief that seafood and cheese should never be married.
I love fish tacos, tuna melts and anchovy pizza, but what are the more upscale options?
So far, I’ve been toying with concepts and recipes for:
- ·Cheddar ale soup with smoked baby octopi
- ·Trout and goat cheese napoleons
- ·Mac and cheese with a puttanesca sauce
- ·Seafood fondue
- ·Peruvian Causa with smoked oysters and gouda
What are your thoughts on mixing the two? Menu suggestions?
oysters rockerfeller?
something like a smoked salmon roll (cream cheese)
Neil, this is one of the many reasons that I love you.
You mean LOBSTER mac and cheese, right?
Also, you should totally do that one thing from Sushi Zone – nom.
Ina Garten did a bay scallop gratin that could easily have some cheese added, and not just parm on top methinks.
Could you do Pike Quenelles with cheese maybe? Or croquettes?

Parmesan crusted something or other? tilapia? halibut?
I love anchovy pizzas too
What about deep fried spinach artichoke ricotta and parmesan cheese balls with chopped anchovies.

for the gf and her parents the day after Thanksgiving – it was quite well received.
