Yesterday we picked up a 10# bag of steamers and I steamed about half. Tonight We are frying the other half which I just got done shucking. Karen made the roasted garlic tartar sauce we both love. We also got some more Uni.
SousChef came home with two beautiful artichokes from a roadside stand, so we'll be having them with our Cha Shu pork tenderloin with fried rice.
This is the recipe that I had the boys recreate using baker's percentages:I had to google Knaeckerbrot. Sounds like a fine dinner.
We're going for sushi at our little local wine bar. Once a month a woman comes in and makes the best sushi I've ever had.
Steamers? Uni?
Help a Brit please!
Dawgluver is correct. However, neither the steamers or Uni are local. The steamers are Ipswich clams from the northern Atlantic seaboard and the Uni is probably from the Pacific Northwest.
The Ipswich clams are from a town on the North Shore called Ipswich in Massachusetts. There is a protected bed there and you have to have a special license to dig for the clams. They are the sweetest and purist clams around. The area is so well protected that no swimming or any other activity is allowed. As a result the clams multiply in a prolific manner.
There isn't a single clam there. They are all married with very large families.
