Gilled Fresh-off-the-boat Bluefish

Dear Julia,

I know you would love this, as you always adored a deliciously cooked fresh fish, as I do. Nothing like a day in August, buying fresh fish off that boat at the Orient Point dock, and charcoal grilling it with herbs (chervil, parsley, marjoram, parsley and garlic flowers).

Other ingredient to the dinner, served on the deck, basking in the beauty of the pink and purple sunset:

-farmstand local corn, cooked in its husk, in the over 30+ minutes, 350 degrees
-farmstand cukes - kirbys - sliced in sections and salted, the appetizer
-lentil salad decorated with nasturtium blossoms (leftover, but basically Julia's recipe for cooked lentils tossed with her mustard dressing and garden herbs)

Lovely with local stainless steel chardonnay.

Cost: $5 fish, $2 at the farmstand.

The sunset has now filled the sky with a pink haze permeating to grey blue, and lazy low purple clouds over CT that look like "purple mountains majesty."

Happy Eating!

Slow Julia
