Ingredients
4 Alaska Cod Fillets (approx. 6 oz. each)
2 oz Butter
3 Leeks, medium, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 small Onion, thinly sliced
7 oz Dry Cider
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
fresh Parsley, chopped
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the butter in a frying pan and sauté the leeks and onion for about 5 minutes over a medium heat, until softened but not browned. Add the cider and cook until the liquid has almost evaporated.
Drizzle a little olive oil into a roasting pan and add in the leeks and onions. Arrange the fillets of cod on top and season with a little salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked. To make sure that it is done, check that the flesh looks opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Take care that you don’t overcook it, or the fish will
become dry.
Serve the fish with the vegetables, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by some sautéed or new potatoes.

4 Maine Lobster tails (6-7 oz. each)
2 Tbsp. breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. fresh minced parsley
1 dash paprika
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 Tbsp. dry white wine
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
First, you need to prep your tails. With kitchen scissors or a very sharp knife, cut lengthwise through the top of the lobster shell (the round, hard side of the shell). Note: When cutting the shell, you will also be cutting through the meat which is okay – this butterflies the meat for you and makes a very nice presentation. If you wish to remove the digestive tract (the dark line that runs along the length of the tail), this is a good time to do that as well
Then pry open the shell using your fingers. Starting at the wide end, carefully loosen meat from bottom of shell, keeping meat attached at the small tail end. Lift meat through the cut shell opening and place on top of shell. Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and paprika in a small bowl. Stir in melted butter. Set aside.Combine wine, lemon juice and garlic, and stir well. Brush lobster with half of wine mixture. Broil 5″ from heat for 9 minutes, or until lobster meat turns opaque. Watch closely to avoid overcooking. Baste after the first 5 minutes with the rest of the wine mixture. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over tails at the end of 9 minutes, then broil an additional 30 seconds or until golden brown.

1 Whole Maine lobster, par-boiled
(Approx. 6 minutes from 2nd boil, remove all tail & claw meat from shell and cut into chunks)
1/4 lb. raw sea scallops (preferably not bay scallops)
½ lb. large raw 16-20 count shrimp, shelled & deveined
1/4 lb. crabmeat
1/4 lb. fresh raw Haddock or other mild white fish
½ lb. unsalted butter (yep, it’s a lot, but that’s why it’s so good!)
3 cups unseasoned breadcrumbs
½ Tbsp. seasoned salt
½ tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
2-3 garlic cloves
1 small – medium Vidalia onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1/4 cup good Chardonnay or dry white wine
Cut all seafood and fish into bite-size chunks. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over low heat. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, seasoned salt, black pepper and parsley. Add the garlic, onions and celery to the melted butter. Cook over low heat until tender. Add the wine and let simmer for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the butter mixture and stir until well mixed. In a separate bowl, take half the breadcrumb mixture and mix well with the lobster and seafood, but very gently – you don’t want to rip up the seafood. Place the seafood mixture in a 13″ x 9″ baking pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Then, sprinkle the rest of the breadcrumbs on top. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. Bon Appetit!

Pat the mixture firmly into the shell. Top each shell with the grated parmesan cheese and a piece of bacon (about 1 1/2″). Place shells on a baking sheet for 4 to 6 minutes.
