It happened y’all. Seafood Boil 2012. The third year was the biggest, and perhaps we should say the best. But that means we’ll have to really kick it up a notch if we do it again next year, so let’s just stick with the word biggest for now. We have fully recuperated and are now sharing a bit more of the fun with you. We’ve already popped up a couple of teaser posts with photos from this year and times before. It’s always nice to reminisce and share, especially when it comes to good food. Take a quick ride with us down memory lane, even if the memory is only less than two years old.

The Third Annual Seafood Boil Potluck
Special Events • Tags: Alaska Seafood, California Olive Ranch, Calphalon, Discover Endive, Jolly Oyster, Kitchen Play, seafood boil, summer seafood party
Three years ago, Amir and I threw our first seafood boil party on the beach. It was so much fun that we did it again the following year. Well, guess what? The seafood boil potluck is back! This year, we are beyond excited to get together with so many friends here in Los Angeles. What’s even more exciting is the fact that this year’s boil will be bigger and better than ever before. We’ve teamed up with Kitchen Play and several sponsors, including Alaska Seafood, Calphalon, Discover Endive and California Olive Ranch.
There will be Calphalon pots on the grills with spices, beer-seasoned water, sweet corn and red potatoes ready for fresh lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels and clams. We’re also serving three different recipes featuring Alaska Seafood, crostini and salad with California Endive and peach cobbler with California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil. Our friend Greg of Sippity Sup will bring samples of salmon sliders made with Alaska Seafood as well. Instead of driving south, we’re heading up to Ventura to set up the party at the Jolly Oyster, which proudly offers fresh and delicious Kumamoto and Pacific oysters and Manila clams for sale. This coming Saturday will be …

This has been a week of fish tacos! Are you sick of it? Hopefully not yet. Here are two more fish tacos to send you into the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Ensenada Style Fish Tacos

Though it is technically Monday, we imagine by the time you’re actually reading this it’ll be Tuesday! Here’s our latest Alaska Seafood fish taco contest entry. For April’s edition, we salute “Taco Tuesday,” which has become a common food fixture all over the country. As you can imagine, “Taco Tuesday” is especially popular around these parts of Los Angeles. There are a plethora of food joints near us that boast various taco specials every Tuesday, adding in their own celebrations of the fish taco. My personal favorite place for fish tacos, away from our kitchens of course, comes from a little whole-in-the-wall Mexican food chain in Long Beach called Hole Mole. Every Tuesday, you can get any taco on their menu for $1. Of course, all the tacos at Hole Mole are spectacular, but it’s their Ensenada style fish tacos that earn the crown.

It has been a quiet time in the DD blog and social media world, but we’re here. We’re definitely here. We’ve been cooking and still using our friends as guinea pigs for the first-time creations that slide out of pots and pans. We made a few tacos, and a couple of friends came over to enjoy the experimental trial. Over dinner (and a bottle of champagne), we chewed and chatted, catching up, laughing and talking about upcoming events. There’s nothing that a little food can’t fix, even when you’ve been absent for a while.
