Captain Bill’s, Thursday, February 7, 2013
I was looking back at old posts and menu features and realized that we haven’t offered Amberjack since August. I have to apologize, because this fish is so good that you should have the opportunity to eat it as often as possible! Amberjack have a fantastic flavor due to the fact that they eat crabs, calamari and other shellfish. They are meaty and delicious and we are going to enhance that flavor by marinating the fillets in a citrus marinade and then grilling them to order.
If Amberjack isn’t for you, how about Bay Scallops sauteed with Crimini Mushrooms and tossed with linguine and a pesto cream reduction? This is probably our most popular pasta feature and one bite will tell you why. One of the waitstaff actually squealed when I said we were going to offer the scallop pasta this weekend.
Our Fish Fry options this weekend are Haddock with a Capital Weizen Beer Batter and hand-breaded Lake Perch. The batter on the haddock has a great, light and airy flavor from the wheat beer. Both are served with steak fries, Cole slaw and tartar as usual and are great for a snowy Winter day.
To finish your meal, we have our normal desserts as well as the fantastic Apple Crisp with Cinnamon Ice Cream, Double-Chocolate Bread Pudding, and, of course, Bailey’s Irish Creme Brulee.
See you soon,
Chef Adam
It is that time of year again, Soft Shell Crab season! This is one of my favorite times of year, the weather gets nicer, we have Summer to look forward to, and the crabs shed their hard exterior and make themselves even tastier than normal. We are featuring your choice of one or two crabs with choice of side and asparagus right now. The crabs are coming in fresh this afternoon, at which point we will prepare them, soak them in milk, and, when you order them, we will lightly coat them in seasoned flour and pan-sear them. They are truly a treat and the season is fleeting, so come on out and give them a try. I would suggest calling ahead because they will sell fast.
Our phone has been ringing, non-stop, and we are full on reservations for Brunch on Sunday. We do, however, still have availability for Dinner that evening. We will close the doors for a couple of hours so we can clean up and reset the dining room, and then we will reopen at 5:00 p.m. for dinner service.
This week has been an interesting one, with with warm, sunny and beautiful weather, and cool, rainy and alternatively beautiful weather. But we won’t let a little rain wreck our weekend, not with Mother’s Day coming up and a great slate of food for you this weekend.
You read that right, we are re-opened on Monday Evening again. Come join us for dinner (if the weather holds you can even enjoy the deck!) and help us welcome back our old friend, Monday.
Yes, you read that correctly, we actually had a couple of days of seating on our deck this week. If the weather cooperates we will have seating this weekend too! Even if it doesn’t, it is worth coming out for our fantastic features this weekend. We just got a shipment of fresh Hawaiian Lehi Snapper. This fish is both beautiful to behold and delicious to eat, especially when we oven poach it with a pineapple chutney. We will also be featuring our Surf & Turf special of a six-ounce tenderloin and a four-ounce lobster tail. They both come with your choice of side and asparagus and are so tasty.
