Mako Dinner

Saturday of 4th of July weekend, we are in Montauk, NY.  There is a shark advisory this weekend from NJ to Maine (huh?)  In fact, a 12' shark was seen close to shore just off Hither Hills the end of June (that is right by us).  What to do?  Make the best of it...  called the local fish store, Gossman's (an institution in Montauk).  Asked if they have any fresh, local mako.  Yes, they do!  Just caught this morning.  Fish on (for dinner that is)!

My brother prepared the mako...  one of his famous concocktions, lemon, wasabi, paprika, onion, garlic...  could be more or less, not sure.  But I do know it will be good!  Then cover with foil; put in the bbq.

And drum roll please...  ta da...  cooked to perfection!  Yumm!
(We even has some left over - the next day we made mako salad, think tuna salad but with mako.  Added diced yellow pepper, red onion, and some taziki sauce (we were out of mayo).  Served on some flat pretzel and other crackers. So great!)

The rest of the meal included salad...

roasted peppers,





and wine.  What could be better?
