So I went with a pan seared cobia topped with rice flour fried SS crab, pickeld onions and lime buerre blanc. Sorry for crappy pics but I was in a hurry.

soaked crabs in egg wash


Fried in the ole Gran pappy in some seasoned rice flour and La brand shrimp fry mixture:



Inside, I picled some onions in some pickling vinegar. I should have added sugar but I was working too fast.



Seared up the cobia using salt and pepper in some pecan oil





In another pan, I whisked butter into the juice of a lime to create a creamy sauce. It broke, but did you know if you add a few drops of water it can restore itself? Didn't get pics of the restored sauce on the other plate.

Final product served with some sugar snap peas:



thanks for all the ideas and inspiration.

Your plating leaves a little to be desired but it looks good

Yeah, I was working really fast and off the cuff. My plating was an afterthought. Maybe 30 minutes all in all

Kosmo, cut him some slack. He was trying to shovel it down the hatch before his baby started crying. IWEI shitty presentation and all.

I'm so caught up in what I cook and dealing with the baby, I haven't had a shower since Sunday. Something's gotta give.

Who the hell worries about plating at home anyway?

Looks good OP I'd eat that.

I usually do. Practice for when I feed a dinner party or special occasion.

That's to ta-ta for me...... Most family get together I go to we eating off of paper plates. At my house is the only exception, we use regular plates. Selve service to, I'll cook but I'll be damned if I'm fixing anyone a plate other than my kids or another child.
