Smoked Alfredo Sauce with Spicy Grilled Catfish – YUM!
Wow! Adams Fairacre Farms in Kingston, NY has expanded their smoked fish offerings. And we’re happy campers because of it.
Aside from additional options of salmon, cod, eel, mackerel and other fin fish, Adams now has smoked scallops, smoked shrimp, smoked mussels and a mix of all three. These are all sold in vacuum packages that can be popped into the freezer for later…or taken home and greedily consumed as dinner that night.
Jill and I immediately knew what we were making. A local restaurant called Kaycey’s, that went out of business a few years ago, had offered a smoked seafood alfredo over fettuccine as an entrée. We missed this dish and have made it at home using canned smoked scallops and shrimp. It tasted good, but a fresher fish option would have been better.
So, we planned the meal as a smoked shrimp and scallop alfredo with mushrooms accompanied by a spicy grilled catfish and green beans (from our garden) with caramelized onions. Absolutely awesome. We also made the alfredo much healthier by using a combination of skim milk and evaporated milk.
Many of the dishes we make for ourselves don’t include a recipe. We’ll post it as soon as we write one down! In the meantime, don’t forget to ask for any of these three dishes as part of your next cookdate. We promise you won’t have any leftovers.
Adams Fairacre Farms is one of the many local Ulster County Grocery Stores where we shop for ingredients for our clients’ meals. Their fish is so fresh we watched the fish manager preparing fresh halibut steaks out of a whole halibut.
