Prep Time:  20 minutes         

Difficulty:  Easy

Serves:  2

⅓ lb fresh snapper, bones removed 

½ pint ripe, firm strawberries (mango, pineapple, peach and kiwi will also be excellent)

1 small red onion 

1 small bunch cilantro 

1 jalapeno 

3 limes

1 clove garlic

Tortilla chips for eating!

Place your fish on a large plate and generously cover it in salt, almost burying it. Set a timer for ten minutes. Meanwhile, dice your red onion and cut your strawberries into ½” cubes. In a blender combine lime juice, ½ cup of fresh cilantro, the jalapeno (remove the seeds if you do not like spicy food), 1 clove of garlic and the peeled ginger, blend until it forms a bright green paste. Taste for seasoning. When your timer goes off, rinse the fish well with cold water and pat it dry. Cut the fish into ½” cubes and toss it with the olive oil. When you are ready to serve, mix the fish, strawberries and onions with the fresh marinade and top with more freshly chopped cilantro. Allow the fish to sit in the marinade for about 5 minutes before eating.  Serve with tortilla chips or Saltines. Enjoy!

Fish can be salted, cut and oiled hours ahead of time.

Pacific Northwest Gefilte Fish - Appetizer

Recipe by Gracie Schatz

Servings: 8

For the Gefilte Fish:

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

12 oz. Oregon snapper fillet, coarsely chopped

4 oz. wild salmon, bones and skin removed

2 T. vegetable or grapeseed oil

1 large egg

2 T. coarsely chopped fresh dill

1 t. kosher salt

1/8 t. freshly ground white pepper

1 t. sugar

For the Broth:

2 qt. Newman’s Seafood Broth

Preparation:

1. If there are any bones left in your fillets, remove the larger ones by hand, but don’t fret about the smaller ones since they’ll be pulverized in the food processor.

2. Place the onion in the bowl of a large food processor and process until finely ground and mostly liquefied. Add the fish fillets to the food processor along with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse in the food processor until the mixture is light-colored and evenly textured throughout. Scoop into a bowl and give it an additional stir to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout.

3. Warm up your broth, once it is boiling, reduce to a simmer. Wet your hands and form fish into balls, according to your size preference. They should be a little bigger than a walnut but smaller than a matzo ball. They will expand as they cook.

Place them one by one into the simmering broth. When all eight servings are in the pot, make sure heat is low and place lid on the pot. Cook gefilte in the pot for 30 minutes.

Remove gefilte with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl or deep serving dish. Chill.

Serve them chilled, topped with freshly chopped dill and freshly grated horseradish.

Cioppino - San Francisco's Famous Seafood Stew

Original recipe published by John Mitzewich, but adapted by Newman's customer Paul Redhead.  Paul insists Newman's stock is the secret to great tasting Cioppino but says you can be flexible with the types of seafood you use.

Prep time:  20 Minutes         Cook time:  75 Minutes       Serves 6

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup butter

1 rib celery, chopped

1 onion, diced

1 can crushed tomatoes (28-oz)

2 cups Newman's fish stock or clam juice

2 cups white wine

4 cloves crushed garlic

1 lemon, juiced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 bay leaf

1 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Dungeness crab (about 2 lbs), cracked and cleaned, or 1 lb frozen crabmeat, thawed

2 pounds halibut fillet (or other white fish such as ling cod), cut into 1" pieces

24 large raw prawns, peeled and deveined

12 mussels

12 steamer clams - or more to taste

1/2 bunch Italian parsley, chopped

1. In a large pot, on medium-low heat, melt the butter with the olive oil and sauté the celery and onions until soft, about 10 minutes. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the seafood and fresh parsley. Simmer on low, uncovered, for one hour. Add a splash of water if the sauce gets to thick. Taste for salt and adjust if needed.

2. Add the crab, shrimp, and halibut, and simmer covered another five minutes. Add the mussels and clams, cover the pot and simmer for 3 minutes more, or until the mussels open. Turn off the heat, and stir in the Italian parsley.

3.  Ladle the Cioppino into large bowls and serve with lots of sourdough bread and red wine.

All Seafood - All the Time Paella

By Dwight Collins, Fishmonger and Owner of Newman’s Fish Company

Two pans of this delicious paella were made to feed the crowds attending the SquareOne Villages Paella Fest 2015 at Sweet Cheeks Winery.

A seafood lover’s delight, this Paella recipe was prepared for our local Paellafest 2015 and again at the SquareOne Villages Paella Fest.  Paella is the centerpiece of a family gathering or a feast with friends, It takes some practice to get a feel for cooking times to cook the rice perfectly. You can modify it with your favorite seafood and make it your own, but a few rules in making the rice need to be followed.  Don’t rinse the rice.  Don’t stir the rice after it begins to simmer.  Don’t start cooking the rice until everyone is present.

Prep time:  45 minutes
Cook time:  40 minutes
Serves: 12-14 (18"-24" paella pan)

6      Cloves garlic, diced
1       Large yellow onion, diced into ¼” pieces
6 T.   Extra virgin olive oil, enough to coat the pan
1        Green pepper, julienne sliced
1        Red pepper, julienne sliced
1        Yellow pepper, julienne sliced
½ T.   Sweet Paprika
½ T.   Smokey Paprika
1-28 oz can Italian Tomatoes
1 t.     Salt (2 pinches)
Couple of pinches of Saffron, about 20 threads
12 c.   Fish stock, added as needed for type of rice**
4 c.    Bomba rice, or medium grain rice (use less fish broth for medium grain rice)***
1 lb.   Scallops, small
1 lb.   Firm-fleshed white fish, deboned and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb.   Medium shrimp, tails and shells removed and deveined
1 doz. Raw, deveined shrimp with shells intact and split
3-4    Clams per person, rinsed and drained
½ lb.   Squid, cut into 2 by ½  inch pieces (optional)
½ lb.   Green beans, blanched (may substitute another vegetable in season)

In an 18"- 24" paella* pan, sauté diced garlic and diced onion in olive oil until flavors are released and just starting to turn brown. Add the peppers and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the peppers brown and become fragrant, about 3 minutes.  Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the two paprika seasonings, tomatoes, and two pinches of salt, and cook 5 minutes.  Sprinkle in the saffron and stir to let the flavors mingle.  Sprinkle in the rice and mix to coat.  Add in approximately 11 cups of the fish stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring to completely mix all the ingredients.  Turn the heat to medium and let the rice simmer.  Probe with a wooden spoon to make sure the rice is evenly distributed,  Cook for 10 minutes.  Keep remaining 1 cup of fish stock on stove, on low heat, and add in small increments, as needed, to areas of the paella pan where rice doesn't look cooked (the grains will be whiter).  Do not stir again.  Lay the scallops, white fish, both types of shrimp, clams, squid (optional), and blanched green beans evenly across the rice mixture and cook uncovered for 10 minutes on medium-low heat and 5 minutes covered to finish cooking the fish. Turn off heat, keep covered and let rest for 5 minutes.  Serve.

* Paella pans are wide, shallow, and made of thin conductive metal, with sloping sides and two handles.  They ensure the rice can be cooked in a thin layer and allow for evaporation of the liquid while the rice cooks so the paella has a desired dry texture.

** Fish Stock:  A good fish stock is important for building the flavor of the rice. Fish stock can be purchased at Newman's Fish Market on Willamette or you can make your own.  The following recipe makes 12 cups of stock.

1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 carrots, chopped
5 lbs. white fish bones
12 c. water
15 sprigs of parsley, chopped
2-3 c. shrimp shells

Put all ingredients in a stock pot and bring to a boil.  Turn heat down and simmer for 1-2 hours.  Strain and reserve the stock.  Discard solids.  Can be used immediately or cooled, covered and stored refrigerated for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

*** About the Rice: Use short-grain Bomba rice or medium-grain rice, not long-grain or parboiled rice. Estimate 1/3 cup rice per person if you have lots of seafood in the paella. Short-grain Bomba rice takes slightly more liquid than medium-grain rice. The ratio of stock to rice is 3:1.

Seafood "Who Needs Rice" Jambalaya

With Permission from Everyday Paleo, by Sarah Fragoso

Don't let a Paleo recipe scare you off - this is an exceptional soup! The coconut oil gives the broth a delicious flavor.  This will become your go-to meal.  For variety, change it up with different veggies or seafood.

Prep time:  35 minutes;  Cook time:  15-20 minutes

1 lb. wild Alaskan cod fillets (or other wild-caught fish of your choice)
1 lb. medium shrimp, tails and shells removed and deveined
1/4  cup coconut oil (or grass fed ghee)
4-5  carrots, peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
2   red bell peppers, thinly sliced
4   cloves garlic, minced
1   leek, diced
Sea salt to taste
1   Tbsp. chili powder
1/2  tsp. paprika
1/2  tsp. black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
Hot sauce to taste (optional)

Make sure the fish and shrimp are thawed and drained.  Pat the fish and shrimp dry with a paper towel;  it will have a better texture after cooking if you do this. Cut the fish into bite-size pieces. Set aside with shrimp.

Melt the coconut oil (or ghee)  in a large soup pot and sauté the carrots for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add the bell peppers, leeks, and garlic, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.  Add all the spices and the chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Add in the fish and shrimp and simmer until the fish begins to flake and the shrimp turn pink and float.

Add the hot sauce (optional) and stir. Taste and add more seasoning or hot sauce if desired.

Serve in bowls immediately. Serves: 4-6.
