Erika and I followed up our Eastern Market experience with another DC mainstay at the SW Waterfront Fish Market.  I remember going there with my Dad at some point but it has been a while.  It was a bustling day there, with every kind of fresh seafood and an especially large assortment of live and cooked Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs.  There was also a good amount of prepared food that looked delicious.

Erika picked out a Chilean Sea Bass steak and I grabbed two ‘Lobster Shrimp’.  I can’t find a link to Lobster Shrimp so it may be a made up name for REALLY BIG SHRIMP!!!  Like large lobster tails, two weighed in at about .65 lbs.  Erika chose a Chilean Sea Bass Provencal recipe from the Fork & Bottle website.  It is a cool site, and a delicious recipe.  Served with yellow rice I’d change the name to Erika and Tony’s Seafood Paella!

For the lobster shrimp i went with a lobster tail recipe (in the cast iron skillet of course!) and they were just delicous.  The whole thing looked great, so great in fact that I’ve included a picture… the lovely serving piece underneath is a wedding shower gift from Erika’s sorority sister Julie. Thanks Julie!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
