Big Bob’s® Haddock Surf Board
Big Bob’s® Haddock Surf Board
Everywhere I dine these days I see Charcuterie Surf Board boards popping up on menus, especially at Gastro Pubs that brew their own ale. These boards normally offer a selection of cured meats and cheese but tend to be lacking in seafood options. I got to thinking - in order to add seafood and simplify this concept I have deconstructed a traditional Fish & Chips into a Big, Bold & Fun sharable board that we at High Liner like to call a ‘Surf Board’. Think of it as sharable Fish & Chips. To be able to get the size and scope that I desired for this board I decided to use our 8.5 oz Big Bob’s® Beer Battered Haddock. That’s over a half pound of fish! Using this item also saves the back of the house time from having to dip their own fish in a wet batter. Frozen to plate in under 10 minutes with zero waste!
