Perch fish with basil pesto and tomatoes
I love seafood, I could replace almost everything else with it. And since the wonderfull fish market in Barcelona I’ve been dreaming of “pulpitos”. This very simple recipes consisting of fried little squids with lemon and parsley was prepared on spot there in the small restaurant. The trick is just to make sure you fry and not boil them in their own liquid so since my pan does not get too hot I drained them for a few times while leaving the pan to reheat. Then I just added lemon and freshly cut parsley and yuhuu, a mediteranean delice.

Pulpitos
Prea bun, mult prea bun. Aroma dulce acrisoara, textura care se topeste in gura, amintire de mare. Si noodles, gustul care te surprinde, un pic dulceag, cu verdeata, aroma de primavara. Cuprinzator si satisfacator.

Somon teriyaki
Inspired by the fish soup and the teriyaki method of cooking I’ve liked so much in meat I decided to try it on fish. The method is actually quite simple, you marinate the fish (fillet) in a sauce based on soya sauce and then you grill it. What I did not knew was how to use the remaining marinade to make some delicious soy noodles (inspired from here).

I was visiting some friends. They has a house with white walls textured like in old houses. It felt like I was in southern France and the house was surrounded by hills. They had a wooden table with lion legs and they wanted me to cook for them. So I started to inspect their long and narrow kitchen. I searched the fridge, there was none. On the cooking table there was a fish. I my mind I knew, I had to do a fish soup. I started boiling water, cutting vegetables then I realized I did not had everything I needed. Yet the ingredients where all there: ginger, onion, noodles. I took my bicycle on a long S-shaped road along the hills covered with olives searching for … the missing piece, curcuma… I woke up.

O reteta care m-a urmarit ceva timp. Am gasit-o de nenumarate ori pe net, apoi aici si aici si in sfarsit am gasit si filmul asta. N-am mai rezistat asa ca iata ce-am facut, cu multumiri datatorilor de inspiratie.

Laksa soup
As usually I eat much less from the sea than I’d wish for so any fish or seafood recipe is a delight for me.

This is a very simple and tasty recipe I did quite often lately (also in romanian).
