This weekend we are proud to have two exceptional fish’s in house….Special Guest? The first I want to tell you about is the Ahi Tuna or Yellow Fin. Grade A #1 Sushi/Sashimi. This dark red..almost purple fleshed fish is of course served best at rare or med rare, but if you’re a more discerning client, then I will simply sear it for you. Tonight, Im serving it with a Sesame Crust over a pile of Asian Jicama Slaw with Braised Baby Bok Choy and an inspired sauce of Wasabi & Aged Soy Sauce.
Our other fish…European Hake…Flaky delicate large fillets with a mild buttery aroma. The European Hake(Irish Hake) was brought to American waters long ago, and there remains a strong supply all along the northern coast. It resembles Cod in America, but doesn’t grown to be as large as its Euro ancestors, that why I prefer the latter. The Hake will arrive on Friday and my plans are to wrap it in Tuscan Kale with Black Winter Truffles…I’m thinking some delicate Potato Gnocchi, Baby Red & Gold Beets(with The Greens) and a Saffron Infused Shrimp Emulsion.

A warm welcome to our old friends and soon to be new friends! Yes, this will be where I will be keeping you, the devoted hungry, up to speed with what we, (Curran’s) and the Breadbasket of New York have in store for our daily menus.  First allow me to let you in on whats already on the plate….

SUNDAYS…are very specials to me.  Many of you know that I’ve spent many years studying Italian Cuisine, and we do practice some of these crafts…i.e. Risotto, Polenta and many classic sauces.   However, we are not an Italian Ristorante.  But Sundays are my chance to show you hand made pastas, one of my favorite gastronomic tricks.  Double O flour and Semolina “crashed” with extra virgin olive oil and eggs…the shapes…the styles…(pssss….no spag and balls)yeah, this is fun for me… and at $14 a plate(Togo container included) this should be fun for you too.

WEDNESDAY…Prix Fixe night.  Always growing in popularity.  Please, I implore to you make a reservation.  $16 for Three courses, Three options under each course….$3 House Pours & $3 New York Kraft Beer Bottles.  Options always include a Steak, Seafood and Something Different….Special Diet needs are always met…Although most everything we do here is gluten free.

Ok, I think I’ve said enough for now…almost, you who know me, know that I’ll talk about food until you tell me to stop.  But, its time to make the bread so just one more thing…

Softshell Crabs!!!!<Tis the Season for the next 10 days, get em while they’re hot…
