Delicious learning at the new Pelican Seafood School of Fish
New classes offer tips and tricks to make preparing fish a breeze! I feel so lucky to have grown up eating lots of fish thanks to my Maritime heritage. My mom’s skill and my love of being in the kitchen … Continue reading
What are you eating on New Year’s Eve?
Cooked lobster dinner-to-go a perfect solution! It’s been said that luck favours the prepared. I’m inclined to agree, particularly after this week when I was offered the opportunity to surprise my husband with a delicious take-home meal on the 30th … Continue reading

Hearty seafood and chickpea stew
A Mediterranean-inspired winter warmer! I adore this dish because it’s so easy to prepare and absolutely packed with flavour. The tomatoes and herbs are what predominate, rather than the mild-tasting haddock and shrimp. Leftovers reheat beautifully so you might even … Continue reading
