Recipe: Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Here's another great Lenten dining option.

Recipe: Shrimp Salad Sandwiches

Want something a little more fancy than a tuna fish salad sandwich to take to lunch during Lent? How about shrimp instead?

With Lent upon us, I thought of all the people out there like me who can't stand a tuna fish salad sandwich but want to pack something seafoody for lunch. Then I immediately remembered a refreshing shrimp salad sandwich I had while beaching it up on vacation. That shrimp salad sandwich was delectable, so I took to the Internet to try to find a recipe that emulated the dish. There are all kinds of fancy recipes out there (Paula Deen's had eggs, for example), but in this case, I think simple is better. So here's a recipe I found on Cooks.com. Deliciousness! Here's what you need: 3 tbsp. seasoned soft cream cheese, garlic 1 1/2 tbsp. butter 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. dried dill weed (I'd go more toward the 1/4 tsp.) 2 tbsp. onion, …

Good Eats On The Creek

Rocky's Legendary Fish Reels in Customers

Generous fish fry portions and taste offer more bang for the buck.

With Lenten season winding down and Good Friday just days away, you’re likely in the market for a great fish sandwich. If you’ve exhausted all the church basements and fire halls in the area, or are simply looking for something new and delicious, Rocky’s at 1201 Washington Ave. in Scott Township is the place for you. I’ve heard the buzz about Rocky’s for years. My father-in-law is a frequent lunch customer and often reads the news while he enjoys what he describes as the best fish sandwich around. He and other patrons line the bar-restaurant during lunch and dinner – the business’ peak hours – while owner Rocky Zargari can often be found cooking. On Fridays during the Lenten season, lines stretch out the door while customers wait for a …
