    Hi gang! We will be foraging local, coastal mushrooms this year!

    A tasty tid-bit:

    dehydrate you favorite mushrooms (mine are porcini-boletes) and grind them in a food processor until they are dust. Then mix the dust with salt, pepper and Thyme or Rosemary.
    Pat each side of your favorite fish in the mixture and sear in a pan with butter. Finish in the oven, and... oh! Hi Emeril! What would you say to this?
    Emeril Lagasse: "umm, I would say, BAM!"
    Jonathon: Right!
    Well there you have it folks.
    Mushroom encrusted Catch of the Day!
