I don’t know what it is lately, but we’ve been eating a lot of snapper.

And not of the deep fried variety, although that will never get old.

No, Brad has been buying whole snapper…

…fileting that baby down with his fancy Japanese knives…

And creating the most delicious tiny bites of sashimi you could imagine.

You might remember this plate from my birthday celebration.  Snapper with kumquat, Serrano and mint.And then this one that appeared a few weeks later.  Snapper with english peas and mint. 
Not only was this version delicious, but it went fabulously with a bottle of Cremant d’Alsace that someone brought over for my birthday.

We even had a wonderful version of the dish at Gjelina a few weeks ago with blood orange and fennel pollen.

Then, the birthday version was duplicated for the Coleman Lunch last week… And what a beautiful dish that was…

I will say – as a seafood lover – that I am very excited about this new addition to Brad’s repertoire.  I think I’d eat snapper sashimi every day if I could…
