We spent the weekend on an island eating seafood. Friday we found an oyster restaurant in the swamp, so we tried it out. Friday was raw oysters followed by steamed mussels. But the specialty of the house is called eglade, mussels on a board, covered in burning pine needles. He puts a pile of needles on top of the mussels, ignites them. If not completely opened, he repeats it. We went back Saturday to have this dish. Phenomenonal. 20250523_203824.jpg20250523_203908.jpg20250523_204435.jpg20250524_194025.jpg

This recipe is a great starting place and took about 30 minutes total. I subbed all but 3 ingredients (oil, garlic and chili powder) based on what I had and it still turned out great! 🤣
My sub's in ()
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil (1.5T olive oil)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (1/2 onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin (1t)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided (3ish cups water)
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cans of Kirkland chicken and water)
  • Kosher salt (2T Knorr bouillon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (on table)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (1 can kidney beans, rinsed)
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels (1 can corn and water)
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa (half jar)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (2ish cups)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (on table)
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (ditched completely)

There's a little business run by a bunch of young guys. Most aren't even out of high school. They go out fishing and sell at two local farms. Good go getters. They pretty much have scallops every week and a surprise like lobster, squid, porgy...

This week haddock. My plating skills blow. That's why they invented garnish. Had to chop off his legs. He's like my feet over hanging the hotel bed.

Crooked Stave was really good
