Serve with chips or tostadas and a cold beer. Top with tapatillo as desired. Cheers!

These fish cakes are another fun and easy way to enjoy fresh rockfish. Perfect with a crisp glass of white wine or a nice cold beer, whip these bad boys up and drizzle on some sauce for a celebration of our local bounty (and the end of the work day!)

Does this qualify as a "recipe"? I don't know, but it's one of our favorite ways to enjoy anchovies, so here goes!

GARLIC!!! and clams. Can you handle it?! Only you can know!

This recipe from Kirk's buddy Andrew Zimmern is quick, easy, and cheaper than a trip to Japan! Thanks, Andrew! Serves 2

Super simple and satisfying. I could just say, "make your favorite pasta sauce, add the calamari and simmer for 5 minutes, then serve with pasta and wine," but I know some folks enjoy a good list so here goes....

Garlic, butter, and calamari - yeah baby!! Not in the mood for frying? Pour yourself a glass of something cold and heat up a baguette. There is so much more to this beautiful cephalopod than just fried rings. But let's clean it first! See the video HERE. Recipe lovingly borrowed from Chowhound.

Beautiful abalone - perfect tender bites of joy plus nature's art! Enjoy this quick and easy fried preparation, a classic for abalone. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of fried seafood but this was ridiculously good and easy. Was it because they were alive only 5 minutes before I ate them? Or the bit of bacon grease I mixed in with the oil? I don't know, but this is a quick and easy way to prepare them that let's the abalone shine.

Whip up this quick marinade and let it soak for at least 30 minutes before popping it in the oven if you can. If you're pressed for time don't sweat it, just slather it and roast!

Here is an amazing recipe for your calamari, courtesy of Sea Forager Seafood member Aaron Rocchino, owner of The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley. Super flavorful, satisfying, and simple. The man knows his food! Enjoy!

Turn it into sashimi and eat all of it raw!

Vacation in a bowl! Enjoy.

Fisherman, friend and chef Hank Shaw knows just what to do with delicious, fresh tuna. Thanks, Hank!

Pour yourself a frosty beverage, place a fish on a chip or cracker, and enjoy! Cheers!

Tuna Tartare: serve with sliced avocado, rice and nori squares for making delicious nori tuna tacos

These freaky-looking, toothsome fish are quite a site, and they make a delicious mouthful too. The female lingcod is especially sassy and independent. Around December, after setting up house and laying her eggs, she takes off to Mexico to sip margaritas and let the Mister look after the nest for two months until the eggs hatch. Enjoy the fresh flavor of this wild fish!
