Mango barbecue shrimp

If you haven’t been outside for a while, let me warn you, the temperature is leaning heavily toward the hot side. Cool days are in the mid-80s, and hot days steam into the 90s, with humidity numbers almost as high. Still, it’s comfortable most evenings to cook on your deck or patio.  […]

Skewerless wahoo kabobs

The fall of 2017 has presented a few challenges for fishermen in the Carolinas, but fishing has been good when the weather has allowed. Uninvited visitors Irma, Jose and Maria, plus some fronts rolling off other tropical systems, made the waters rough at times, but fishermen are persistent and made trips when possible. […]
