The Ten Labor Days of Seafood & Dessert

[FireMan]

Did I miss sumthin, PJ got married?
Tell me it was a real human bein & not some sorta inflatable.

[Texas Larry]

I’m in. Great idea!

I've figured out my dessert.....still exploring seafood.

The seafood thing is actually turning out to be quite challenging. I love seafood. I would eat it every day if my wife weren't allergic to most of it. But, much seafood cooks so ridiculously quickly (tuna, scallops, etc.) that I rarely, if ever, break out the grill or smoker for it.

The last time I did tuna on the grill it seemed a bit silly to spend nearly 20 minutes lighting charcoal for something that cooks in three minutes.

More thought needed.....

[STEbbq]

Do the fish on a skillet if needed inside and smoke the dessert. Smoked cheesecake?

[Huskee]

Does a seafood dessert count for double points? Even if it's very gross?

[WayneT]

If it’s so gross that it makes someone 🤮, yes.

[WayneT]

Bumping this topic to spread the love for seafood and dessert.

[hoovarmin]

This will be fun, but if theroc gets in this contest we are screwed

[theroc]

Heh, heh, heh....

[SheilaAnn]

Maybe me and theroc can collaborate….

SheilaAnn That may violate the “Ocean rule”

Finally figured out my seafood. It was so obvious that I can't believe I didn't immediately latch on to it. So, both seafood and dessert are nailed down!

As this is a bit of a tease, I'll give a hint as to what it might be. Hint: It swims. (Or at least, formerly did.)

[acorgihouse]

OK, given the nature of tacos, and the Beatles, you should call your Beatles tacos "Come Together." Amirite?

[SheilaAnn]

Ima gonna go out on a limb and guess shrimp?

[Michael_in_TX]

@SheliaAnn Shockingly (especially to me) it won't be shrimp lol.

[WayneT]

As we get closer to the Seafood and Dessert Smack Down, I thought it prudent to enlist some well qualified seafood experts. I’ve co-opted Ulmo’s image as my avatar. With apologies to Chris Tolkein.

[smokenoob]

Those are big flippers to fill!

[Bad Hat BBQ]

I might post something.....just for the Halibut

[WayneT]

Bumping this thread so all you landlubbers and seafarers alike can give it some more love.

[SheilaAnn]

WayneT I’ve been planning……

[WayneT]

SheilaAnn I would be shocked if you weren’t!

[WayneT]

Six days until the start of the first ever Seafood and Dessert Smackdown!

[hoovarmin]

So my friend who is allergic to shellfish is coming to stay 9/1-9/4. How bad, really, is anaphylactic shock?

[fzxdoc]

When you're living the nightmare, jfmorris , it's a whole different ballgame. I imagine your son got some bennies when you finally twigged to his allergy and he could load the guilt on to your and Yvonne's shoulders, as kids love to do. Lots of extra computer and TV time perhaps?

K.

[jfmorris]

fzxdoc Haha I am sure he did get some special treatment for a bit. When he was 10 or 12 anyway! . Now that he is fixing to turn 29...

[hoovarmin]

jfmorris if I had a child with that vulnerability I'd be warning others too!

[DaveD]

Another spectator event for me. I don't make anything in either category. Have fun folks!

[DaveD]

I've never cooked fish or seafood (I don't care for seafood anyway, only fish). And I've never made a dessert (dishing out ice cream doesn't count). Something like this is not the place to start!

[Draznnl]

As of now, the only dessert I’m planning is a slice of a frozen Key Lime Pie. You can throw some tuna on the grill and visit the neighborhood bakery for a dessert. Or you can do more. C’mon.

[DaveD]

I'd happily enter my lovely bride's baked goods... she is AMAZING at such things. All with due attribution of course, I would never try to claim credit for something I didn't make. But seriously, I have never cooked a piece of fish in my life, and simply don't eat seafood. This one ain't for me!

[WayneT]

Five days people! Five days and counting. I’ve heard there are no charter boats available because Pit members have rented them all out this week. 🎣 🛥️

[captainlee]

I'm going fishing at Costco, my closest ocean.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

I still maintain the best sushi I've had in the US was in CO... also the most variety and shopping options for "fresh" seafood... I now live in Oyster country and an hour from the ocean, yet I have to drive nearly to the beach to get shellfish or any seafood worth a darn.

[captainlee]

Our local small independent grocery store brings in fresh muscles, they are really good. That is great considering our location.
