This is one of the most prized fish fillets on the planet- right up there with Chilean Sea Bass, American Red Snapper, Bronzini, and Halibut. You can bake, broil, steam, or poach, but my preference is to pan-sear. The skin is delicious, especially when made crispy in a hot pan.

First, thaw the fish. You can let it thaw slowly in the fridge overnight, or float the frozen package in room-temperature water for 30-45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

Then remove the fish from its vacuum seal by running the knife tip along the perimeter of the fillet. Remove from containment and pat dry with paper towels. 

To cook, I prefer a non-stick pan, and that pan needs to be very hot. Avocado oil is best for high temperatures.

Another tip- keep a small

This fish is prized for its delicate white flesh. It has a mild flavor that appeals to the masses and is relatively easy to prepare.

First, thaw the fish. You can let it melt slowly in the fridge overnight, or float the frozen package in room-temperature water for about 20 minutes.

Then remove the fish from its vacuum seal by running the knife tip along the perimeter of the fillet. Remove from containment and pat dry with paper towels. 

To cook, I prefer a non-stick pan, and that pan needs to be very hot. Avocado oil is best for high temperatures.

Another tip- keep a small brush handy for dispersing the fat. You pour a little oil into the pan and spread it over the bottom. If it’s a non-stick surface, it requires very little fat, and that’s a bonus if

Finding great breaded products are a challenge in deed. I love this breaded Flounder- it’s light and tasty. Serve with a tarter sauce or mix some ketchup and Mayo together with some chopped pickle. Also makes an awesome fish sandwich.

 These breaded fillets are super easy to work with.

TO BAKE: Place frozen fillets on a lightly oiled baking pan. Or cover the pan with parchment paper and apply non-stick cooking spray.

CONVENTIONAL OVEN: Preheat oven to 425°F and bake for 20-25 minutes.

NOTE: COOK TO AN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF 155°F MINIMUM.

INGREDIENTS: FLOUNDER, ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), WATER. VEGETABLE OIL (CANOLA OIL, COTTONSEED OIL, AND/OR SOYBEAN OIL), ENRICHED YELLOW

These ribs are crazy good and easy. They are cooked to perfection and simply need to be brought to temperature. Whether on the grill, in the oven, or even in the microwave PLEASE DON’T OVER HEAT.

First thaw- then heat in a low to moderate oven. 325-350f. I like to scrape the bbq sauce out of the containment and spread most of it on the ribs before heating. Remembet just heat and eat- don’t leave in the oven too long 👨‍🍳😊

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or float in cold water for 15 minutes.

5 racks in each case

12 pieces in each case 

The Norwegians know their Salmon and this Salmon fillet is proof of that. Just thaw overnight in the refrigerator or float in cold water for 15 minutes. Take out of package and pat dry between 2 sheets of paper towels. Best pan seared but can be broiled, baked or grilled. Be careful not to overcook- should be a little pink in the middle.

Note- This is a farm-raised Salmon. Here is my view: as a chef I find the Norwegian farm raised a better dining experience than any wild counterpart. Put another way- if a blind taste test was conducted- the Norwegian Farm raised will crush the wild competitors.

Another great potato side. Kids love these but the adults will enjoy them as well. Super easy to work with. Just bake from frozen in a 425f oven for 25-30 min or until internal temp reaches 165f.
These are another great side for the holiday table.

These are great Hors d’oeuvres. Simply place frozen on a sheet pan- bake in a 375f oven for 10 minutes. Then turn and bake 10 more minutes for a total of 20 minutes. You can serve them whole or cut in half as the filling will not spill out when cut. Honestly- I’d like a ketchup dipping option.😊

INGREDIENTS: FILLING: Seasoned Beef Slices, Water and Modified Food Starch Product [Beef, Water, Dextrose, Modified Food Starch, Salt, Spices (Including Celery Seed), Sodium Phosphates, Tomato Powder, Garlic and Onion Powder, Autolyzed Yeast, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Caramel Color, Spice Extractives], Water, Whole Milk Low Moisture Mozzarella Cheese [(Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Potato Starch, Canola Oil and Cellulose Powder Added To Prevent Caking, Natamycin (A

VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS

(Spring Rolls Filled with Vegetables and Seasonings)

These are an elegant hors d’oeuvre option that will be enjoyed by everyone- not just vegetarians. They cook up great in the oven. From the freezer into a 450f oven for 12 minutes. The texture of the finished product was sublime. Crispy exterior and a qualitative vegetable filling that is sure to impress. A soy sauce dipping option of some kind would work nicely.

I’m super excited about these pizza’s. If I had not known the crust was gluten free I would not have noticed. Excellent product.

just pop frozen into a 375f oven for 20-25 minutes. They are great just as they are but you could play with them. The crust is outstanding and substantive. You could top them with some more of your own tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese or sliced pepperoni, fresh basil before baking.

This will be a family favorite whether gluten challenged or not.👨‍🍳😊

Another great item from my favorite Polish Deli. They also make the Polish Potato and Polish Apple Pancakes. The sausage is smoked and fully cooked. Brown in a pan and serve with a good mustard. Potatoe salad in the summer and mashed potatoes/sauerkraut in the winter.

Could also be served on slices of bread like a French Baquette with a little dab of mustard as an excellent hors d’ oeuvre.

The possible applications are endless. One thing for sure- this is delicious sausage.👨‍🍳😊

These are large and tasty. Super easy to prepare. Right from the freezer. Spray cookie sheet with non stick fat. Space wings on sheet pan and bake in a 400f oven for 35-40 minutes. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing. They will be a hit at any gathering.

CONVECTION OVEN:

This fish fillet was purchased at a premier fish market, in a state of exemplary freshness, and vacuum-sealed and frozen the same day. This is the best fresh-frozen product I’ve seen in the marketplace. Let me know what you think as you work with these Bronzini fillets.

First, thaw them. You can do this slowly in the refrigerator overnight or quickly by floating the package in a bowl of “room temperature” water. Never use warm or hot water. This quick method should thaw the fish in 25-30 minutes. With the tip of a knife, cut around the periphery of the fish and remove the fillet. Next, dry the thawed fillet between two sheets of paper towel.

 MPORTANT NOTE - The skin will retract in response to the hot pan, causing the fillet to curl and rise. If you score the skin

These are a super convenient potato option.

They are stuffed with Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, and Chives. Delicious!
Serve with anything that cries out for potatoes.
Very tasty and a perfect side for your holiday table.
Just bake from frozen in a 375f oven for 40-45 minutes and serve. I love them!

I’ve found an excellent Italian Meatball. They are made by a premiere Italian Deli and they’re gluten-free.🥳

Super easy to work with. You can drop them into simmering tomato sauce and then turn off heat. The meatballs are already fully cooked- so they just need to be heated.

I put the meatballs into a microwaveable bowl with sauce- cover and nuke for 1 minute at a time until hot.

I prefer to thaw them first but you can heat from frozen as well.

I love the ingredients: Beef, Pork, Rice, Grated Cheese, Fresh Eggs, Cornstarch, and Spices.

I just recently brought in gourmet quality Cooked Italian Meatballs. I thought a  high-quality Tomato Basil Sauce would be an appropriate accompaniment so I made a batch and really liked it. 

Super simple to use. Heat in the microwave and serve. Or, heat in a saucepan- bring to a soft boil and serve.

I finished the sauce with a little cream to give it a more velvety texture and to infuse a decadent component that separates my sauce from the general marketplace.

Ingredients: Alta Cucina Whole Peeled Tomatoes, fresh Onions, Carrots, Celery, fresh garlic, fresh Basil, dried Oregano, dried Thyme, dried Red Pepper Flakes, and Heavy Cream. Salt/ pepper 

They say the meat closest to the bone is the most succulent. I concur, but the flavor is not the only thing that sets this steak apart. The majestic presentation makes this cut (and the Porterhouse) the most desired of all the premium cuts.

This is a great entertainment tool- perfect for hors d’oeuvres or fabulous on a Sunday morning with fresh bagels. This is so easy to work with just pop in the micro (frozen, thawed) one minute at a time and stir. Repeat until dip is warm. If entertaining just transfer to a serving ramicken and surround with high quality crackers or my preferance- cut a baguette into slices and toast. For an extra touch turn baguette croutes into little garlic croutes. Either way your guest spoons some of the dip on the croute or cracker and watch the happy faces.

 I love these mini Crab Cakes. They are perfect as a hors-d’oeuvre or appetizer. They are tasty enough that no sauce is needed- but a remoulade or even a tarter sauce would compliment them nicely. Super easy to work with- from frozen into a 400f oven for 13-14 minutes.

I love these Shrimp treats. The moist/saucy filling make these a complete entertainment tool- no sauce necessary. These are perfect for any holiday/football event and good to have around in general. I use the term mini but they are of ample size.

I sold a few boxes of these steaks towards the end of 2022- on a trial basis.

Recently I’ve received requests for them and so now I’m putting them on the menu.

This is a favorite of mine. They can be pan seared or grilled. Handle them like you would any other steak but LET THEM REST for 5-10 minutes before slicing. 

As always a little salt/pepper goes a long way!

These are made by the same Polish Chef that makes my “soft” Polish Potato pancakes- so this is another artisan product. 

A sweet treat to be sure! The kids will love them for breakfast but warmed and sprinkled with powdered sugar and their ideal for dessert as well. If your serving Ham or any pork or poultry dish- these apple pancakes would be a great side dish.

Directions: thaw and heat in 20 sec intervals in the microwave- flipping gently as you go till hot. If it’s crunch time and you forgot to thaw- just micro frozen the same way. I did it the other day and they came out very good- but thawed is better.

If you don’t like using the micro- thaw and heat in a moderately hot - non stick pan with a little butter or spray. This is done on the stove
