New Food & Wine Issue-April

Steve and I are on a road trip, attending a WA State sardine meeting, and now in Westport to meet with potential markets and projects for our canned business. My first issue of Food & Wine appeared in our wad of mail I had stuffed into my briefcase. What a wonderful array of articles and recipes for a foodie!
My favorite was a Fresh tuna salad with Avocado... and the other was the California grilled sardines ,which is in a section called " 7 california ingredients you must taste now."

The avocado dish features fresh troll caught albacore,
I assume it's troll caught, that is poached in olive oil, fennel seeds, and peppercorns about 15 minutes. The tuna is then flaked into 1" chunks and folded into a dressing of mayo, chopped capers, celery, olives, onion, garlic, lemon, and minced anchovies. Scooped into an avocado half and topped with peashoots or alfalfa sprouts, this sounds like a meal on my "must try" list,...a huge & growing list I might add.

Our little Papa George Gourmet Albacore ad is coming out in April & May's Saveur Magazine. The proof shows it right above Thompson's Cigars, Steve's favorite mail order cigar shop. It will run in October and November too.
