RSJ’s Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Dip

Appetizers

The smoked tuna dip at Harbor docks is, by far, the best in the area. Actually, it’s the best I have ever tasted. Over the years I have taken a few stabs at recreating a Harbor Dock’s version, but always come up short. After several failed attempts, and facing a cookbook deadline, I finally worked up a recipe for smoked crab dip, which is excellent, though my wife still prefers Harbor Docks smoked tuna dip.

Ingredients

1 lb Smoked Yellowfin tuna loin, finely chopped

2 Tbl Creole Seasoning

2 tsp Black Pepper

¾ cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise

Instructions

Mix thoroughly and serve with saltines (and a few dashes of hot sauce)

Shrimp and Butternut Squash Bisque

One of the first recipes I ever created was a shrimp bisque. It’s been a staple at Crescent City Grill for years now, served to countless guests who have come through our doors. Back in those early days in the kitchen, there wasn’t any formal training to rely on— just curiosity, passion, and a willingness to experiment until it was just right. Adding butternut squash wasn’t a part of the original recipe. Though its natural sweetness balances the richness of the shrimp and the cream.
