Onshore 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Didn't fish tonight. What's that, you say? Well, there are other important things in life, like good food - especially seafood. One of the side benefits of living on the Cape and working in a big bait and tackle shop is what the customers bring in to us. Yesterday, two customers brought separate offerings of Thresher Shark and Yellowtail - fresh from south on Nantucket. Tonight, I barbecued fresh Yellowtail & Thresher Souvalaki. The Souvalaki is a Greek recipe for shishkabob and is great with any kind of firm fish or seafood. Here's the recipe: For the Fish and Marinade: 1-1/2 lb. swordfish or other steaks about 1-1/2" thick. 3 tablespoons X.V. Olive Oil 3 tablespoons fresh Lemon juice (or lime) 3 tablespoons white wine - preferable dry 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced or squeezed 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Oregano or 1-1/2 if dried 1 teaspoon grated lemon 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper For the Kebabs: 24 Bay leaves 1 medium onion, quartered Lemon wedges for serving Preparation and cooking: 1. wash steaks in cold water, drain and dry With paper towels. Cut into cubes while you make the marinade 2. Combine wine, garlic, oil lemon juice, Oregano, lemon, salt and pepper. Whisk till blended and salt dissolves. Add fish and turn to coat and let marinate at room temp for 30 minutes. Soak Bay leaves in cold water for 20 minutes. 3.Preheat grill to high. 4.When ready to cook, break onion quarters into Individual layers, drain the Bay leaves. Thread fish onto skewers with piece of onion and bay leaf between each. 5. Oil grill grate and arrange kebabs on it and grill, turning with tongs until brown on outside and opaque on inside - 2-3 minutes. baste with mainade during first minute of cooking. Serve with lemon wedges. I like it best with a nice white wine like Pinot Grigio, a good Portuguese Matuse or Tangueray & Tonic. Tonight I had it with a couple Red Stripe beers. Ummm................
