Summer’s Here! My top 10 favorite summer food splurges - Jun 21, 2013 - 6:06:03 PM
 As the weather
starts to really warm up we start to look for ways to cool down and food is no
exception. Summer food is lighter and
seems fresh and bright compared to the heavier meals of the winter season. When
the mercury starts to approach the red line, these hot season favorites will be
a hit around the pool, out on the patio or under a beach umbrella. A couple of
these great dishes and a cool breeze is all you need to make a hot, lazy day
just about perfect. Here are my picks for the coolest foods to enjoy during the
dog days of summer.
10: Snow Cones
Snow cones are brimming with cool flavors and a
satisfying crunch. You don't have to be a kid to love them, either. Head to any
fair or recreational food court, and you'll see plenty of grown-ups standing in
line for a snow cone or Hawaiian ice of their very own. In fact, these summer
sweets are so popular that you can pick up crushed or shaved ice makers and
syrup through most food supply outlets and make your own at home. And they can have adult flavors as well

Food And Culture - Jun 13, 2013 - 11:26:11 PM
“Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you
who you are,” wrote renowned gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in
1825. The type of food we eat, how we prepare the ingredients to make a
certain recipe, and ultimately how we consume and share it, is very
telling of the actual essence of who we are and where we are from.
Indeed food comprises an intrinsic part of our cultural profile. Food
encompasses everything that is important to people; it marks social
differences and strengthens social bonds.
Common to all people yet it can signify very different things from table to table...

The A-Z’s of Ham - Jun 5, 2013 - 3:27:47 PM
Pork is the top
consumed protein in the world with over 99 million tons consumed last
year. And there is good reason. It’s absolutely delicious. It’s also
incredibly versatile in the things
you can do with it. Different cultures
all over the world have all taken to finding their own ways to get the
most
from the beautiful pig and from that we get today’s topic. Today we are
going to discuss Ham. Not just ham but the complete A-Z of
ham. So without further adieu let us dig
in.
Traces of production of ham has been found in Tuscany, in the Etruscan
civilization and dates back to the fifth century BC. In
De Agricultura Cato described the process of making
cured ham, in Latin called perexutus, that meant “without any liquids”.

Re-inventing Bahamian Cuisine - May 31, 2013 - 12:09:46 PM
This morning I was watching an interview with a chef widely
considered the best in the world; Rene Redzepi.
His restaurant Noma in Copenhagen Denmark is currently ranked #2 in the
world after spending the last three years at #1 on the World’s 50 Best
list. He is credited with reinventing
New Nordic Cuisine by utilizing only the most ultra local ingredients picked at
their height of ripeness and served the same day they were harvested. He also pushes the diners boundaries of what
is acceptable and delicious.
In the interview
he spoke of how the restaurant started by cooking classical French cuisine
using some local ingredients and then evolved to its current ultra-local
philosophy over the course of its 10 years in existence. We at Flying Fish have kind of begun this way
as well...

Cardinal Rules Of Service - May 24, 2013 - 11:38:49 AM
My last article was kind of a tongue in cheek piece about
what it takes to be a chef. Today we’ll
take a look at the other side of the restaurant: the service side. At Flying Fish we have a set of rules to live
by; we call them the Cardinal Rules Of Service.
We have them posted in the kitchen and the front of house team is
expected to know them. I’m quite sure
there are quite a few of the rules on this list you will read and say “I hate
when that happens to me!” and we agree with you. That’s why we try our best to live up to the
rules. It makes everyone’s experience
better and makes the restaurant run smoother by default.
1. Acknowledge
guests with eye contact and a smile within 30 seconds. First impressions count!
2. Thank
the guests as they leave. Last impression!

Grand Bahama Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Goes 'Local' at Flying Fish Restaurant - May 17, 2013 - 1:55:18 PM
Grand Bahama, The
Bahamas - On May 9th the local Freeport chapter of the international
Association the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs met for their final soiree of the
season at Flying Fish Modern Seafood. Celebrating the finale of the
season was done with their usual flair and pizazz. The dinner theme,
"Grand Bahama Sur La Table" was intended to showcase local, Grand
Bahamian products.
Wanting to celebrate the small, but growing farming community on the
island, there was a local-flare menu. Chef Tim Tibbitts of Flying Fish
presented 7 courses featuring seafood and produce from around Grand
Bahama. Ever growing and expanding, the Ol' Freetown Farm provided
produce and eggs (the egg yolk ravioli with truffle butter was a crowd
pleaser), Om Grown Greens provided micro greens

50 Things I Was Never Told About Being a Chef - May 16, 2013 - 5:00:33 PM
A fellow chef from back in Canada sent this
list to me recently. I thought it was supposed to be a bit
of a joke. However, once I started going down the list I realized
that it is 100% true on every level. So if you or someone you
love is thinking about becoming a chef, perhaps you should try to talk
them out of it!
When people are thinking of taking their first steps into kitchens,
many around them are quick to give advice. They will warn of the toil
involved, the strength of character and the stamina that are needed,
the long hours...
But however much warning is given, one is always quick
to disregard it and shrug one's shoulders because really, how hard can
it be? In my years working in kitchens, I have seen hundreds

Is Food Art? - May 10, 2013 - 3:18:29 PM
 Every once in a while someone I talk to at the restaurant
makes a comment about the food while we’re talking and likens it to art. Is it really art or is it simply
craftsmanship? Most chefs would likely
say the latter. I’m not quite sure where
I stand. I was for a very long time a professional
musician. That is someone most people
would consider an artist. However, for
me the transition to cooking high-end food was based almost entirely on my
ability to continue being creative while doing something that I loved. My entire life has been the battle between
musician and cook and even though the cook seems to have won, I don’t really
believe I’m less of an artist.
Usually the
single thing that defines art to most is the ability to see into the artist’s
thoughts or passion by looking at the piece and making your observations. I would argue that I can do the same with
food. When I’m in a good mood and
feeling creative the food can be very playful and avant garde, but when I’m
tired or stressed, I look to create comforting food that makes me feel
better. The problem with being a chef is
similar to being an artist; everyone has their own personal opinion based on
style or content as to whether it was good or not.

Flying Fish Modern Seafood Year in Review (2012) - Mar 29, 2013 - 2:36:40 AM
March 1st signified the end to our first year here at
Flying Fish.
It was a difficult first year as most businesses definitely have to go
through and full of challenges and changes. However, it was also full
of highlights, great food, great people and exciting happenings that
make us look forward to a very excited second year and beyond!
Flying
Fish opened the 1st of March with a completely new make over to the
former Ferry House restaurant. It also came with a completely new style
of dining to Freeport. The 4 course prix-fixe menu was very
avant-guarde and garnered a lot of attention. It may have been a little
before its time though and it was changed to a traditional format by
the summer. What it did do however, is give us some of the signature
dishes of the restaurant that are still being used at the restaurant and
showed our guests the level of cooking being done at Flying Fish was
something never before attempted in the Bahamas.
