Flying Fish Supper Club presents "Feast of the 7 Fishes" - Dec 23, 2013 - 9:51:09 AM
Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - Join
Flying Fish for our next Supper Club and enjoy
our take on
the American-Italian tradition of the
"Feast of the 7 Fishes", where we pay
tribute to bounties of the sea on
Monday, December 23rd at 7pm.
"The long tradition of eating seafood on Christmas Eve dates from the
Roman Catholic tradition of abstinence – in this case, refraining from
the consumption of meat or milk products – on Wednesdays, Fridays and
(in the Latin Church) Saturdays, as well as during Lent and on the eve
of specific holy days. As no meat or butter could be used on such days,
observant Catholics would instead eat fish, typically fried in oil..."

This past
weekend, the Flying Fish team hit the Gourmet Foods International Food
Show at the Hard Rock Casino in Fort Lauderdale to meet and greet some
top performing artisanal food and wine producers. Knowing where the
products come from is very important in the Flying Fish philosophy and
getting the opportunity to talk to producers is always a great way to
learn more about their product. Chef Tim took part in this year's
Institut du Fromage fall series of cheese tastings and sessions on
artisan and farmstead cheeses learning about production to sanitation to
pairing.
After sharing ideas and trying new products, the fall
menu at Flying Fish is almost complete. Our menu is always changing due
to local availability and the seasons. Flying Fish is introducing new
dishes for the fall season.

One More For The Road - Aug 2, 2013 - 8:23:27 AM
 Not many other subjects are so complicated and
have contributed so much to world culture and the socio-economic
situations around the globe as coffee has.
Coffee
is often consumed alongside (or instead of) breakfast by many at home.
It is often served at the end of a meal, normally with a dessert, and at
times with an after-dinner mint especially when consumed at a
restaurant or dinner party.

Bring Back Food to Food TV - Jul 25, 2013 - 2:20:47 PM
 It was in 1993 that I
decided that being a chef was a good idea. I was working as a baker in a
small donut shop and wanted to do something else, something more
creative. It was also the same year that the Food Network first made its
appearance on television. In my early years, the Food Network made a
huge impression on me as a cook because the shows that it featured then
focused on actual cooking. Emeril Lagasse was actually a really great
chef before he became a cartoon of himself and a catch phrase. One of my
favorite hosts from that era of food network was a chef named David
Rosengarten.
David hosted over 2500
episodes of Food Network in various show forms, my favorite being called
Taste. He also wrote some excellent books. One of which I still use
frequently: The Dean and Deluca Cookbook. It’s a great book with tons of
recipes that actually work...

The End of The Bahamas Tourism Product - Jul 16, 2013 - 1:00:24 AM
On July 1st
of this year, the government of the Bahamas decided that it was going to drop a
bomb on the tourist sector. Without any
lead time, prior knowledge or transparency even between different government
ministries, they decided to end tourism in the Bahamas in one simple step. They raised the already ridiculously high
taxes and fees on airlift. Now I believe,
fortunately for us this was done on a national level and not just to struggling
Grand Bahama. The fact that it was done
nationally will be the only saving grace in this decision and I’ll tell you
why.

Glutamic Acid and the Search for Flavor - Jul 4, 2013 - 1:05:00 PM
For as long as people have been eating food,
people have also been searching for ways to make food more flavorful.
Through the scientific observations of food we’ve come to understand
different compounds that are naturally occurring in food and as humans
do, people have tried to isolate them and create them artificially.
Sometimes the results are great. Sometimes the results are not so
great. Either way, the search for more flavor is on going.
One
of the isolated compounds in food that is primarily responsible for
foods flavor is Glutamic Acid. Glutamic acid (abbreviated as Glu or E)
is one of the 20-22 proteinogenic amino acids, and its codons are GAA
and GAG. It is a non-essential amino acid. The carboxylate anions and
salts of glutamic acid are known as glutamates. In neuroscience,
glutamate is an important neurotransmitter that plays a key role in
long-term potentiation and is important for learning and memory...

Musings About a Country: The Food Scene in Nassau - Jun 26, 2013 - 7:53:05 PM
Last week I spent a few days in Nassau. We
are trying to do some collaboration with some names you may know in
Nassau and some here in Grand Bahama. It was an enlightening trip to
say the least. So many positives and quite a few negatives but
everything was a good learning experience.
First off, I’ll
start by saying I was born in Nassau but have never felt like Nassau was
home to me. My sister lived in Nassau for many years and I would visit
her often and was quite familiar with the east side of the island.
Now, having spent quite a fair bit of time driving around and getting
reacquainted with the island let me say this; Western New Providence is
beautiful...
