At the Delaware Beaches….in Rehoboth Beach….you will find Rehoboth Seafood Market….

You are also able to order from them organic free range turkeys. This is the time of the year to order, so please give them a call as soon as you have your plans ready.
Mark Lane is the owner and he has been in the business for about 30 years and on this location since 1997.
Through the years, I have been a customer of Rehoboth Seafood. In my beach towns we are so lucky to have fresh seafood availabe, all the time, and I promote all these markets.
Fresh seafood is something that I look forward to and last night we were in the mood for a nice piece of fish, so late in the afternoon we paid Rehoboth Seafood a visit. Nick was the employee at that time of the day and he wrapped us 2 pieces of halibut. All the seafood looked so fresh. They also carry a line of herbs, rubs and sea salts, among other things, to make your cooking easier.
We chatted with Nick a bit and I took some pictures. When I am reviewing a place and I am able to take pictures, it is great because you can get an idea of what the business looks like.
Have you had halibut? Well, it is a type of flat fish from the family of the flounder. The name comes from haly (holy) and butt (flat fish), for its popularity on Catholic holy-days. It lives in the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. It is also the largest flat fish, weighing about 24-30 lbs., but can be as large as 734 lbs. It is also known as the “Cow of the Sea”.
From my previous posts, you know already that I like to cook, but fish is not my specialty. Don’t get me wrong, I can do it but I never think it tastes as good as when someone else prepares it.
Besides the halibut, we also got some oysters and we steamed them in the oven. They were great.
I kept the halibut simple. Put it on a lined baking sheet and topped it with melted butter, pepper, and lemon juice. Grated some of the lemon on it and put it in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for about 7 minutes and then under the broiler, but not too close to it, maybe about 6 inches below, for about 4 minutes to give it some color. It was delicious.
I hope that when you are visiting our coast you get a chance to get some fresh seafood, from our local Seafood Markets.
Note: Information on the halibut was taken from www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halibut.
Gorgeous day in the Delmarva Peninsula!!!! See you later…
