Thursday Night Ideas

Tomorrow we are going to change the cod dish to run with a dashi broth and local corn. Also the salmon is going to change a little bit, the local calarmari is going to be cut into "pasta" lengths and sauteed with the spinach and frisee. Moving forward I want to try and simplify some of the dish's and get away from this idea of having to have a starch, vegetable and protein with a sauce. Why not just a great piece of fish, cooked perfectly, served with a broth and some vegetable? Tomorrow also the guys from up north are bringing me some truffle products so I can mess around with this dashi, "truffled dashi" is where we want to end up since the truffle will work really well with the corn and cod.
The squash blossoms are finished and hopefully at some point next week we will get the local squid on the menu as an app...

Fluke Crudo

This is the new fluke "crudo" or sashimi dish at The Mott" We are using fresh local melon for a puree and small dice, fresh scallions and snow peas. To finish, smoking hot chili oil is poured table side. Fleur de sel, obviously...
