Leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches are amazing but preparing delicious turkey soup & pot pies take it up a notch to the next level. I really love using leftover mashed potato as the crust for a hearty,  post Thanksgiving, Shepherd's pie.

Turkey Shepherd's Pie

Chefs enjoy innovating new, delicious meals but we also look forward to traditional favorites.                                          My mother made delicious devilled ham or turkey croquettes, turkey & vegetable soup, turkey/cranberry sandwiches of course and various pot pies with delicious, holiday leftovers.

Seafood; Bluefish

By Tom Griffiths • January 30, 2025
Often when I'm fishing, people catch bluefish or skate and throw them back. I always run over and ask to keep one or two. Bluefish are quick and easy to fabricate and a delicious dinner to prepare when I get back home from fishing all day. I prefer simply dredging in seasoned flour and frying pieces in olive oil & butter mixed together. Perfect with cold beer or white wine!

Seafood; Goujons

By Tom Griffiths • January 30, 2025
My first professional cooking job was as the poissonnier at Le Cirque in Manhattan. Occasionally the Chef asked me to make fried fingers (goujons) of flounder family meal. Being right out of culinary school, I set up the normal mise en place for standard breading; a tray of sifted flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. Chef came over and taught me the quicker method... flour the seasoned fish in a bowl, add eggs to the floured fish (same bowl) and then breadcrumbs (same bowl). (one bowl and a fraction of the time)! To this day, that’s the method I use to make crispy, fried goujons-these photos are with bluefish fillets Junnie and I caught.

Seafood; Striped Bass Frittata

By Tom Griffiths • January 30, 2025
I see fisherman fillet their fish, discard the head & frame! They're amazing at catching fish but have little experience fabricating or cooking the beautiful, fresh fish they get. I'm very interested in sustainability & respectful when I take a fish. I cook from head to tail... that's where the tender, 'chef' cuts are... cheeks, head, on the bones etc... which is perfect for salads, pasta, rice and this frittata. The first time I ate this frittata, I actually thought it was crabmeat!

Seafood; Darne of Striped Bass

By Tom Griffiths • January 24, 2025
One of the more challenging classical seafood dishes I know of requires fabricating a whole fish in to perfectly even darnes, trussing the darnes and then gently poaching in a Court Bouillon. While the darnes are still quite hot, the pin bones need to be pulled (they are on a diagonal), the butcher twine needs to be cut away, the skin needs to be peeled and the seafood must be plated without breaking... and served piping hot with Sauce Hollandaise & boiled, tourneed potatoes. I repeatedly practiced this dish for the CMC exam with a whole salmon... quite the challenge!
