From applesauce to caviar, 11 tempting toppings take latkes from simple to sensational.
Our Acadian ancestors prepared many of their dishes with fresh, salted or dried seafood. The dishes had to use what was available locally from the sea and land and be fairly easy to prepare. My inspiration for the Acadian Seafood Chowder comes from the culinary creative legacy of these early acadian ancestors. The chowder is served in large clear glass soup bowls accompanied by cheese/garlic butter toped grilled french baguette slices and a glass of canadian riesling wine.
If you're unsure about cooking seafood but love the taste, this is the recipe for you. Your grill does all the work in 6 to 8 minutes. Purchase shrimp already peeled and deveined for even faster preparation.

These waffles make a great dish for any brunch. Using store-bought hash browns saves you from peeling and shredding potatoes by hand. Mix and match Scandi-inspired toppings for a simple assembly that will impress guests.
This tangy yogurt dip pairs well with fried fish cakes and potato latkes. Fry, serve, dip and enjoy!

The inspiration for this dish comes from Eva's husband, who loves fish and seafood. Before the couple had children, Saturdays were known as Seafood Saturday in the Fong house. The Asian spin on this dish displays the diversity we have in Canada: fish and cucumbers from British Columbia, sweet potatoes from Ontario. Eva serves this dish with Sweet Potato Fries.
