Black Cod Tacos Al Pastor

This recipe is adapted from chef Gabriela Camara of Mexico City, who made her mark on the food world with her restaurant Contramar. For those of us in the San Francisco area, she has another fabulous restaurant, Cala. Diana Kennedy, anthropologist and author of Mexican Regional Cooking, has been her friend and advisor for years. Chef Camara is using local, seasonal seafood in her San Francisco restaurant, including this stellar recipe for black cod.

Albacore Shiso Tacos

We like this combination of fresh Thai Basil with albacore! From Food 52's website, "These are inspired by Thai and Mexican cuisines, and make a delicious, quick dinner. The albacore filling is loaded with herbs, lime and green onion, and cooks up super-quick in the skillet. Since I used a non-sashimi grade fresh tuna, fully cooking the meat was best, and the quick cooking method retains the tuna's tender, fresh flavor. We filled fresh, steamed corn tortillas with the albacore, topped them with a good, store-bought spicy pepper sauce and a generous squeeze of lime, and had the first of what will be many visits to our homemade taco-shop treat. I cannot wait to make this again. It is SO good."

Stir-Fried Calamari with Thai Basil, Lime and Chilies

This is a wonderfully flavorful way to enjoy fresh squid. The lime and basil are bright and fresh, the chilis add heat, and the fish sauce depth. With some jasmine or sticky rice and a cooling vegetable alongside, it makes a memorable meal. Try it with ridgeback or spot prawns too!

Squid Ceviche

Wow! This dish is served cold and is almost like eating raw seafood. The squid is blanched to eliminate all health risks, but the cooking happens so quickly that it seems raw. If you like ceviche, you'll find this to be easy, light, zesty, and refreshing!
