Surfing Trout PicanteNothing says a Beach party doesn't have to be elegant. Kick it up a notch next time with this Trout Picante served in clear wine glasses for a very classy look.
2 pounds whole trout, gutted
3 t flour
1 c olive oil
2 med. onions, peeled and chopped
8 med. cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 med. jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 med. bunches cilantro, washed, dried and chopped
2 t hot red pepper flakes
1 t salt
2 1/2 lemons, juiced
1/4 c pine nuts, toasted
1. remove head, tail and fins from the trout and discard. wash with water and rub over all surfaces with a cut lemon. (or save the lemon peels after juicing and use those.) pat dry with paper towels and dredge in flour.
2. in a very large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until very hot. fry the trout 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until done. remove from the pan and cool on paper towels. reserve the oil.
3. remove the skin and bones from the trout and crumble into small pieces. set aside.
4. strain the oil into another saute pan and cook the onions until translucent. add the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, onion, coriander and hot pepper flakes. cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
5. stir in the pine nuts. transfer to a bowl and chill. serve cold as an appetizer.
I like to alter this dish a little bit by blending the cream cheese with an equal amount of aged cheddar and pan frying the filled tortillas until they are crispy and melty. It's just delish!

Beach Party Supplies with a Theme Party
Let’s have a beach party! Surfers and non-surfers alike will enjoy it. Decorating for your Beach Party is a breeze, since the sun takes care of the lighting and the sea and the sand and shells give you lots of natural atmosphere. Get the party started with Beach party supplies from invitations to decorations. You can add to this summery scene with colorful beach towels and helium balloons on your beach chairs. If it's a kid’s party, bring lots of pails and shovels for them to play with. It also would be great to have individual kiddie surf boards for them to decorate. If the party goes on after sundown, bring some tiki torches to light things up. For one game you could have the kids build the best sand castle or dig the deepest tunnel. For the older crowd, try a rousing game of volleyball. Music should include the Beach Boys, Rock Lobster, and California Sun, ..anything surfer oriented will fit the party. Sprinkle the event with a fabulous Garden recipe for more scrumptious food. Beach food should be simple and not spoil in the heat. Cook up hamburgers and hot dogs on the beach grill. Fruit makes a great dessert and also hydrates in warm weather. Finish off with great desserts like cookies done in the shape of a surfboard.
