Pescavore Panzanella Salad - Cali Style
RECIPE 2 of 3: During a video project with Valentine Thomas and Pescavore Seafood, our head chef was able to whip up some incredible dishes. We started Mezcal-Spiked Grilled Citrus Ponzu (Recipe) Rockfish Sashimi followed by this recipe: Pescavore Panzanella Salad - Cali Style Salad and finished with Crispy Skin Rockfish over Truffled Garden Carrot Coulis and Stone Fruit Salsa (Recipe). This catch and cook meal, was absolutely one for the books. Great friends, great food, great memories!

Crispy Skin Rockfish Ratatouille
Lately, we’ve really taken to enjoying our “experimental” dinner nights where we invite a few friends over and try a recipe that none of us have previously made. We all share in the various parts of preparation, shopping, chopping, cooking, and of course, eating! The recipe itself is simple and turns out unbelievably delicious and healthy!
Spicy Grapefruit Ponzu
This might be the best sushi accompaniment we’ve ever made. It’s so good you almost want to drink it instead of dip fish in it! This recipe is 100% worth giving a try.
Honey Glazed Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Salsa
This recipe is ideal for a larger fish and a larger dinner party. It is super easy to make and will work with most white meat fish!
Single Pan Chimichurri Shrimp
Night diving for shrimp is a fun group activity and makes for a great catch and cook on the beach afterwards. This delicious and super simple recipe can be done over a campfire with a single cast iron pan.
Quick Pan-Fried Snapper and Crispy Asparagus
We love to dedicate loads of time to cooking delicious, elaborate meals that take tons of time and ingredients to create, but there are also times when we are just exhausted from the day and just want to whip up something simple and tasty. This recipe is a go-to whenever we have some fish around and want to cook it fast, but don’t want to sacrifice flavor for the sake of an easy meal.
White Seabass Poke Bowl + Roll
There is a special bond with friends that are generous with their wild food. Giray was very generous and dropped off some fresh speared white seabass (ghost fish) for us to play with! We made a poke bowl with a side of sushi. The goal was to let the seabass flavor shine, so both dishes were super basic, with an easy process which in turned resulted in a delicious meal!
Chorizo Stuffed Squid
Our friend and legendary spearo, Daniel Mann, recently speared this 2lb squid and wanted to try something a little bit different than a typical fried calamari. He stuffed it with chorizo, squid pieces and onion and then sent us the recipe.
Smokin’ Tuna Campfire Sandwich
