Any time the temperature tops 100 degrees, I like to pretend I’m somewhere else. Like really far away. But this year, a trip to the Hamptons is out of the question. But Plano-based Sea Breeze Fish Market & Grill is offering the next best thing. This Sunday, June 30, Sea Breeze is hosting a New England style Lobster Bake. Continue reading

Rick Oruch at Sea Breeze Fish Market & Grill sends word that he received his first wild Alaskan Halibut of the season – days ahead of the rest of the market. Sometimes it’s all about connections I suppose. Rick and the team just cut into this big boy .. They have it in the fish market for $32.99/lb, and should have Halibut and chips on the menu for $21.99 by tonight.

For each course Jon described the wine pairing, while Executive Chef Scott Hoffner discussed the ingredients and execution of the dish. A main supplier of TJ’s, whose Red Grouper was featured in the 3rd course, was on site to tell the diners how Jon decides what fish to select (Jon can be quite picky), the state of sustainability in our oceans today, and the unique fish that often get thrown away in the U.S. while it is considered a delicacy (and pricey!) overseas.
