Like you, I’m counting down the days until summer vacation! I love laying on the beach and feeling the hot sun on my face But most of all, I love seafood! Because I have a beach house in Maryland, I can go to any restaurant and they will have great seafood! I could eat any type of seafood, crab, fish, shrimp, scallops, you name it, it eat it!
I also love cooking fish because its so versatile! Last summer I had coconut crusted cod at one of my favorite restaurants and I just had to remake it! Only this time I replaced Cod with Mahi Mahi and breadcrumbs for coconut flour to make a summer vacation inspired dinner!
