This post was originally published on August 19th, 2017. With recent bonito catches being reported inside our forum, we figured now would be a good time to re-publish this post.
I figured now would be a good time for me to share this post with you, because hopefully some of you My Fishing Cape Codders are encountering some bonito out there.
There comes a time in a relationship when you just have to buckle down and go fishing with your spouse. It's inevitable.
Especially for me, because my husband is Ryan Collins, and if you have not already noticed, he lives, breathes, sleeps, eats and dies for fishing.
Fresh chunks of lobster are tossed in a creamy pesto sauce, with spring vegetables and pasta for a truly delicious spring-inspired meal.
It's a great recipe for a special occasion, like Mother's Day which is right around the corner!
Use whatever veggies you have or love, from carrots to leeks to broccoli or asparagus, any spring vegetables will work here.
Classic puttanesca sauce, with briney capers and kalamata olives, meets rich cioppino stew, chock full of clams, mussels and local cod.
Add in hearty potatoes, hand crushed tomatoes and flavorful fennel for a well balanced, seriously delicious stew.
Even with summer right around the corner, a hearty fish stew full of freshly caught fish can't be beat! Grab some crusty bread to sop it all up and you've got yourself one heck of a meal.
Calling all fish burger fans!! This sauce is a total game changer.
With just a few pantry staples and about 5 minutes of your time, you can quickly make it while your burgers are cooking and store leftovers for up to a week.
So far we've tested this sauce with shrimp burgers, mahi burgers, drizzled over fish tacos and used as a dip with fries.

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 My Fishing Cape Cod! As many of you know, I have a serious passion for food and cooking.
Of course since I am married to a fisherman, it's pretty common that I'm cooking something involving haddock, tautog, sea bass or some other fish.
However, if you're not careful, fish can get boring real quick.
So with that in mind, today I am sharing 5 of my all time favorite side dishes, which you can use to pair with your own fish dinners.
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.
