Season 4 of MFCC TV is under way on NBC Sports Boston and now members of MFCC can watch these episodes online at any time from any device.
If you are a member of My Fishing Cape Cod, then you can go to the TV page here on the website to access episodes 24/7.
So far the first two episodes from the 2021 season have been posted. These shows featured early spring fishing for tautog, scup, sea bass, squid and stripers.
This recipe was originally published in June of 2014 and is one of the most popular on the site. We've republished and updated this post with new photos, information, links etc. for 2021 and beyond.
Tautog is one of our favorite fish to both catch and cook on Cape Cod. With it's hearty white meat, it holds up well to almost any way of cooking.
In this recipe, I made a simple breading of parmesan cheese and spicy smoked paprika, with a quick lemon and herb sauce to drizzle all over.
It sets up well to pair with spicy smoked paprika and nutty parmesan cheese. The light herbed lemon sauce gives the fish more depth with it's rich flavors of herbs such as mint, basil, parsley and more.
I've been wanting to make a dairy-free clam chowder for a while now, because I know some of you might be on special diets, or are just looking for healthier options for your favorite comfort foods.
So if you happen to have 10 pounds of clams lying around (or maybe they're on sale at the store) then let's take those clams and make some clam chowder together!
You'd never know that this rich, thick chowder is dairy free either. This recipe is a whole new take on the classic clam chowder, and it's a little more "guilt free" (meaning you can eat a whole lot of it!)

Hello MFCC and happy holidays! Today I wanted to share my recipe for Spicy Thai Fish Soup.
It's a delicious blend of Thai flavors, with sweet coconut milk and perfectly tender fish, with the optional addition of egg noodles at the end for the ultimate cold weather comfort food.
In this recipe I used halibut, but you can sub it for another firm white fish like striped bass, or even use shrimp or chicken in place of the fish.
It's a great cold weather recipe that's easy to make and tastes even better the next day (as do most soups!).
Note from Ryan: This recipe from Lauren was originally published in August of 2015. Today I updated this post with new information and links to other popular bluefish recipes - including the MFCC Bluefish "Cookbook" which you can download below. Enjoy!

Here’s something to wrap your head around – bluefish that tastes delicious!
I’ve never been a big fan of bluefish – their sharp teeth and oily, fishy and worst of all blue meat, make them less than desirable (at least for me).
For a long time Ryan and I have tried to figure out a simple and delicious way to cook bluefish without using mayonnaise.
That's when one of our members here on My Fishing Cape Cod, Eric Meyer, shared with us his recipe for caramelized bluefish.
The 2020 MFCC apparel pre-sale is happening now through November 20 on our online store. Orders will ship the week of December 14 just in time for the holidays.
This year we are excited to offer youth, toddler and infant sizes in sweatshirts!
Below you will find everything that is available in the pre-sale, with links to the store and each item.
This smoked salmon chowder is full of broccoli, baby potatoes, cauliflower, onions and garlic for a comforting and healthy meal that can easily be made dairy free.
Bagels and lox and smoked fish pate have been done already. This is a whole new spin on how to use smoked salmon! You can also use smoked trout or smoked bluefish in place of the salmon.
For Ryan's birthday this year he was gifted a smoker, and we are slowly but surely figuring out the perfect brine, timing and heat. Until then, this chowder is made with a store-bought smoked salmon filet.
For those of you who are experts at smoking blues or trout, by all means use that instead - any smoked fish will do.
I find it incredible that giant swordfish swim just off the coast of Cape Cod. These amazing fish are capable of hunting a mile below the surface of the ocean!
I also find it amazing how we are able to enjoy fresh boat-to-table swordfish. Ryan and I consider ourselves very lucky to live in such an abundant place.
The fresh meaty flavors of swordfish should never be hidden, only enhanced, and that's exactly what this recipe does. In my opinion, this recipe is "next level" swordfish, and is a whole new way to use up your fresh herbs from the garden.
This past winter I asked the MFCC community where they like to go in the summer to dock the boat and have a bite to eat.
Now the votes are in, and here are the top spots, complete with mooring information, so you can enjoy the Cape, whether by boat, car, bike or hike!
This list begins with the Upper Cape and works it's way down to Provincetown. At the end we even mention a couple of MFCC's favorite spots on Martha's Vineyard.
If that title doesn't draw you into this post, then I don't know what will! That's right, this girl out-fished the "one and only" Ryan Collins, fair and square.
Ryan has been meaning to publish this post for a long time. I wonder if the fact that I out-fished him has something to do with why it's taken him so long to share this?
In fact, this trip occurred last July, but Ryan has informed me that the lures and techniques we used will still work great right now for anyone who wants to surfcast the Cape's beaches at night.
In this recipe, tautog is simmered and roasted in a Mediterranean style sauce of freshly chopped tomatoes, spices, herbs, capers and golden raisins.
Ryan and I really enjoyed this dish - it is heavenly! Plus what could be better than enjoying a meal from something caught locally on Cape Cod?
This recipe also works for halibut, swordfish, striped bass, bluefish, shrimp or chicken, so even if you can't find any tautog, you can still enjoy this delicious sauce.
Whether you live on Cape Cod or are here on vacation, going out to breakfast is a favorite for many.
Cape Cod has a lot to offer when it comes to breakfast options, so I reached out to the members of MFCC for their favorite spots, and boy do we have a list for you!
Thank you to the members who helped create this list of the best breakfast spots on Cape Cod! If you have another one to add, please let us know in the comment section.
I have organized this list so that it starts in Plymouth and works it's way down to Provincetown, so no matter where you are on the Cape, you'll know where to go for the best breakfast.
