Tom's Market Newsletter
Week of February 25-March 2,
2008
Good morning everyone,
Well, back from Florida and into the snow!!!
I must say, even though I was wired into the office, I had some time to
enjoy myself. The big items on the island? Crunchy
Grouper, Snapper, and Coconut Gulf Shrimp. (Of course it has
to be food...what else is there to do but eat!!)
I know I missed last week's newsletter; the sun and surf had
the uncanny ability to make me loose track of the days.
Before I knew it, it was time to come home. I also knew I was
in trouble when I fired up the computer after 2 days and found 87
emails to respond to!! It brought new meaning to the phrase
"No rest for the weary." Remember, if you don't receive the email in
time for you to do your shopping, you can always go to our web site,
www.tomsmarket.com to view the weekly specials. The web site is always
updated by noon on Mondays (unless Danielle is on vacation with me!)
Thank you to all of you who wrote in to offer a slogan for Tom's Market
Catering. I think between all of the entries, we
can certainly pick a winner. Who knows, maybe more people
will write in with their suggestions when I list them. After
all, a little prodding for the creative juices is always good.
So...without further adieu, the list!! I took out all of the
references to the authors, so we can't play favorites!!
In no specific order: Choose your top 3, or add some more!!

Well, as you can imagine, I really can't go anywhere without thinking
about food. One of the most popular dishes on the island is
Crunchy Grouper. Grouper is a great fish, but not too common
up here in New England. It's thick like scrod, but has a
texture between Catfish and Tilapia. So...use any of these
two for the following recipes from the Prawnbroker Restaurant
Group. They have some of the more popular restaurants on the
island.
Snapper Almondine
Serves 4
4 ea 7-8 oz Snapper
Fillets
1/2 Cup Slivered Almonds
1/2 Cup Flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of a small lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped
parsley
Pat fillets dry and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon
juice. Coat the fillets with flour on both sides.
Saute in heated oil for about 4-5 minutes each side. (Actual
cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fish).
Remove to a warm serving platter. Saute almonds in the
remaining oil until they are golden. Add the white wine and
reduce. Pour the almond and white wine mixture over the
fillets and garnish with chopped parsley
Crunchy Grouper
Serves 4
4 ea 6-7 oz Grouper
Fillets
1/2 cup seasoned flour
1/2 Cup Flavored Bread
Crumbs
1/2 cup Special K Cereal
1/2 cup Corn Flakes
1/2 cup vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Milk
Mix corn flakes, Special K and bread crumbs together. Whisk
milk and eggs together. Dredge fillets in flour, then egg
mixture, then press fillets into cereal mixture to coat well.
Saute in heated oil about 4-5 minutes each side. Time will
depend on the thickness of the fish. Serve with tarter sauce
and lemon.
Their slogan on the recipe page reads: "If you burn it,
undercook it, or it doesn't taste good, have dinner with
us!"......Little do they know about the culinary prowess of Tom's
Market Customers!!!
Hope you enjoy these as much as I did. The only thing missing
is the 80 degree weather and the view of the gulf!! (OK...I'm
done rubbing it in...)
Don't forget to check out the great weekly specials. There
are some great deals this week, so make sure to stock up. We
are now taking orders for the Easter holiday. From Budaball
Hams, Legs of Lamb, Veal Roasts. Crown Roasts of Pork, and Prime rib,
Angelo and his staff will make sure they hand select and cut each and
every order.
Have a great week. See you in the market!
