Calamari and moonfish
Last weekend started off with Friday evening cocktails and
calamari steak from one of our favorite relaxing spots, Buzz’s on Kailua Beach.
Things got a little less chic on Saturday and Sunday because
the fair was in town. Let’s just say no healthful carnival food choices
were made, but we did (narrowly) avoid fried Twinkies. So it could have been worse. Monday night we were back on track with delicious
macadamia
nut crusted opah (also known as moonfish) and roasted
cauliflower.
The only glitch I had with this recipe is that in the
skillet the macadamia nut crust was cooking (approaching burning) much quicker
than the fish. So I moved the whole
operation to the oven for literally 1.5 minutes to cook the middle
through. Problem solved.
We’re entertaining both tonight and Thursday, so the
remainder of our Supper Plan this week is going to be especially delicious!
