Notes

This is one of my father’s favorite recipes. In addition to growing up in a fishing town, my father pursued a career in the merchant marines transporting crude oil all over the world. Growing up in a fishing town, my grandfather had his own fishing vessels and provided a great life for my father and his family, so he was always around boats, fishing, and great seafood; ultimately, no one could cook seafood like he could. It was outstanding and out of this world. Tales from his sea fearing days kept us up late at night as we enjoyed ouzo and seafood mezedes (Greek word for appetizers). Enjoy the Psari Plaki!
