ckreef Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 It's been a "Lord of the Flies" summer. It's finally cooled down a slight bit (85*) and the flies have disappeared. Time to crank up the Konro (especially after all the Marabu talk). On the menu tonight: Sashimi grade tuna, First cut NY strip steaks, U5 shrimp (the way shrimp is supposed to be), Zucchini, Pineapple, Lettuce salad w/ Japanese Ginger Dressing, Rice, and finally Honey, Ginseng green tea. The main lineup Everything dressed or marinated Marabu lump almost ready to go A few action shots. The tuna was the star of the show. I wasn't sure how that was going to work on the Knoro the way I did it. Came out perfect. I stopped paying attention for a minute and slightly over cooked my NY strip. (md not md rare). I only have myself to blame as everyone cooked their own food. Anyway all around a killer meal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Oh boy what a nice looking dinner looks very yummy. Question what are U5 shrimp? Does that mean 5 shrimp to a pound? I am always amazed at all the wonderful food and meals cooked on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can't get U5 here; have to settle for the "colossal" size = 10 - 12/lb. They're still pretty big, great for skewers/yakitori, as they are not so easy to overcook on a very hot grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer Fresh Market has had them all summer and only $12.99 per lb. I usually go for the colossal. They're still big enough to stuff. Interestingly last summer small lobster Tails were on sale the entire summer $5 per tail (we ate a lot of lobster tails). This summer $7-$8 per tail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'd still be pouncing on them at $7 (assuming they're at least 6 oz). He said "Fresh Market." I'm still in mourning that we lost ours and it's coming up on 2 year ago now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most everything in there is super high dollar but those shrimp are a reasonable price. I don't shop at Fresh Market often as my wallet cries every time I do but it is the bomb of high end grocery stores.. Sorry to hear yours closed.
