I live in Seattle. There are several fishing charters in the area; we used Tight Lines Sportfishing.

Saturday morning/afternoon: went fishing Saturday early dinner: Dungeness crab, an hour out of the water, simply boiled with ginger-soy dipping sauce; roasted asparagus from last week's CSA. Sunday dinner: Dungeness crab cocktail; almond-crusted flounder; sauteed chard planned for tonight: Baked whole Coho salmon; roasted summer squash from today's CSA.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA's are usually associated with a specific farm or with a farmer's market. Basically, you prepay for the season, and every week you get a big box of whatever is fresh. The one I get is the Pike Place Market CSA in Seattle.

Got a CSA delivery Monday, so: Sauteed Radishes Asparagus and Garlic Stir-fry with Tofu
