I recently finished The Evil Inside by Heather Graham. There is one scene where Jenna, the protagonist, orders New England Baked Scrod in a restaurant in Salem, so my culinary dish today features Massachusetts (where I grew up) with this healthy New England Baked Scrod with Saltines. I hope you like my version, which uses mayonnaise and saltines to coat the fish. This dish pairs beautifully with a light, crisp white wine and a side salad, to make the perfectly balanced, healthy meal.

Should Cod Smell Fishy? Plus, 30+ Recipes Ideas
Growing up in Massachusetts, we had cod every Friday during Lent. Us Massachusettsians love cod so much that we named a peninsula after the fish. There are many reasons to love cod, one being that it is not an overly fishy fish. Perfect for fish and chips, too! But, how do you know that it is fresh by the smell? Should cod smell fishy? The answer is NO. A fresh piece of cod should have a subtle, clean scent – a telltale sign of its quality and freshness.
Simple Crab Salad Recipe With Old Bay Seasoning
Today, I am remaking a lobster salad into a simple crab salad recipe with some of that Old Bay seasoning. Crabs weren’t a thing in Massachusetts. It was lobster, lobster, and more lobster with an occasional side of lobster. But when I moved to Pennsylvania, it’s all about the crabs and Old Bay seasoning. So this crab salad sandwich was made to remind me of home, but with crab instead of lobster. :) I made it with mayonnaise, lump crab meat, and a good healthy dose of Old Bay.
Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe
I absolutely love shrimp. Maybe it’s because I grew up surrounded by the ocean. Or maybe it’s because shrimp is just delicious. This shrimp Pad Thai recipe features those large, raw shrimp that you can buy in a big bag on sale at the local grocery store. But you can use any kind of shrimp, prawn, or even scallops, either raw or cooked, frozen or fresh. Regardless of your choice, the seafood adds a wonderful flavor and texture to the dish, complementing the tangy flavors of the Pad Thai.
Delicious Homemade Salmon Meatballs Recipe
Today’s dinner is a bit different! Everyone in our house loves salmon. But this time, I decided to mix it up a little (literally)! I created this salmon meatballs recipe. Everyone, they turned out so good. I’m super excited about this recipe for all my fellow salmon lovers out there. When it comes to the pasta, you can choose whatever you want. I decided on linguine with my creamy pesto recipe to match these beautiful meatballs.
Crab Pad Thai Recipe
Crab has been an acquired taste for me, but now I love it. Today, I am making some delicious crab Pad Thai to satisfy my crab cravings before I get to take a trip to Annapolis, MD for the bestest crab shack in the world. You can use imitation crab if you can’t find canned real crab, but the real deal is worth it. You don’t need a full pound can to make this recipe, either. I used a smaller can (about 5 ounces), and there was more than enough crab to make this dish tasty.
The Best Beer-Battered Cod Fish and Chips Recipe
I love me some good beer-battered cod fish and chips. Fish and chips is classic British cuisine favorite, but every Irish pub I’ve dined at serves it, too. But it’s also expensive. Make this homemade recipe using a can of beer, flour, and potatoes when cod goes on sale at your local grocery store.
Stovetop Tuna Mac and Cheese Recipe
An easy and quick meal, this stovetop tuna mac and cheese makes a great lunch or dinner! Who doesn’t love a mac and cheese recipe?! I have always loved mac and cheese, but this was my first time adding a new ingredient to it. Not only is this meal super easy to make, but it is creamy and filled with delicious tuna. Add vegetables or leave them as is. However you decide to make this recipe, you’ll want more. Yum!
