« Slow food for thought | Main | Outstanding pizza » Friday, July 21, 2006Smoky joy at Whole Foods
Last night at the Whole Foods Market on River Street, while waiting for the fishmonger to wrap up my bluefish, I noticed that a whole section of their seafood case is now devoted to products that they're smoking in house. There was some gorgeous Cajun-rubbed salmon, and on skewers beautiful shrimp and bacon-wrapped scallops, all ready to devour. The fishmonger said they've been doing it for about a month. Given what I had just bought, and how much I love it in a pate, I asked, "Aren't you doing any bluefish?" He smiled and said, "Wait right there." He went in the back for a minute, returned with a piece and handed it to me. "We're trying it; see what you think," he said. I tried it. An amazingly moist texture, much more so than a lot of smoked fish, but very little smoke flavor. He agreed: "We're still playing around with the smoker," he said. I, for one, will be watching and trying, because they're on the right track. Posted by Joe Yonan at 01:30 PM
