(Fish Cakes with Apple Mint Yogurt Salsa) I never pass up an opportunity to be inspired. Inspiration can come from any daily encounter. My inspiration this week comes from the seafood department at the new Whole Foods in Chicago. It is the chains largest store and the fish displays keep up with the theme of big! One of the most beautiful whole fish displays I’ve ever seen. From Ahi Tuna, to a half filleted sea bass their spread includes exotic fishes flown in daily that can be quite hard to find in the Chicago area. Not to mention the shrimp bar displaying 8 types of chilled and seasoned jumbo shrimp.
All the bright colors are eye catching and the variety is a huge plus. With Apples, Figs, and Butternut Squash also being in season just imagine what interesting menus can be created!
Fish is always a great event entrée alternative and with all the options at the new Whole Foods it seems like it’s time to freshen up those dusty old menus.
