Hors D’oeuvres

Dinner

Broiled Mahi-Mahi  with fresh Caribbean spices. We then top this beautiful filet with a chunky crab-corn salsa to cool things down. It is accompanied by     gruyere potatoes au gratin and sweet baby carrots. A wonderful choice for beginning your adventure with Jim and Jenn on the open seas!

Tiger Shrimp Skewers  Proscutto-wrapped jumbo Tiger Shrimp and Roma tomatoes delicately grilled and laced with sour sop honey BBQ sauce, presented on a bed of herb-seasoned orzo pasta and joined by gingered sugar snap peas. A chef’s table request whenever available.

Macadamia Encrusted Tilapia  pan-seared to perfection and coated in Chambord papaya chutney with other available fresh fruits and melanga mash with sautéed, French cut green beans to add a little spice and compliment the fish.

Salmon Picatta  traditional lemon picatta sauce with capers coats the perfect cut of salmon, which has been char-grilled and is served with the creamed cauliflower providing a cheesy addition.

Filet Mignon  char-grilled filet mignon is the jewel of this plate, accompanied by exotic mushrooms in a Port wine Demi Glace. Also, Béarnaise sauce and minced horseradish root should satisfy any palate. Baby asparagus spears wrapped in Proscutto and lightly spiced, then broiled with a touch of brown sugar will try to steal the spotlight, but garlic mashed Parmesan Reggiano potatoes will provide a nice balance.

Pasta Primavera   a simple mir poi begins this surprisingly light dish. The aroma of garlic and olive oil fill the cabin as the fresh vegetables are gently tossed with cappelini. We prefer to add shellfish, salmon or chicken, but the vegetarian version is delectable on its own.
