Once again, we bought fresh-caught Sea Bass on the docks of the Channel Islands Farmers’ Market from Fresh Fish Fanatics. Its perfect snowy white flesh needed only a sprinkling of spices before going on the grill. John used Sunny Spain Seasoning and a bit of salt and grilled the fish over a medium flame for 5 minutes per side.
Clean and shell 1 pound of English Peas – these were fresh from our garden
Blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes, then strain.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Shallot, finely minced
2 slices Prosciutto, finely chopped – I used kitchen shears
When Shallots are softened, stir in Peas.
Add leaves from 2 stems of Thyme
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring often

Once again, a great looking meal 🙂 I love peas & proscuitto is like frosting on the proverbial cake.
Have a great weekend.
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen says
I almost tried a batch with peas as well as corn. You wrote almost the same things I did about pepper and tortilla! You had a great meal, glad you enjoyed them. Have a great weekend!
Ei says
I wish I’d doctored mine up. I thought they were bland and a weird texture. Your fish looks amazing!!
Diane Balch says
Wow, now you figured out how to really work these pancakes into a meal. Fabulous.

Can I PLEASE come for dinner? Susan this looks like the best dinner ever!
acookingmizer says
we actually made fajitas last night and I thought made very thinly, these would have been good for those but I just couldnt turn away from using tortillas… LOL! 🙂 Great job!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says

Frankly Entertaining says
It sounds like you had an amazing meal. I should have added some pepper to the batter to kick it up a bit.
Jessica of My Baking Heart says
I’ll take it all, Susan! 🙂 Looks delicious!
Guyla says
Your entire meal looks delicious!
Elaine says
I should know better than to come visit you when I am hungry and haven’t had dinner. 😉 Your meal looks wonderful and pepper would have been a good addition to my corn pancakes I think. Glad you enjoyed them.

Your meal looks fantastic! Mine weren’t that great, but then again, weren’t surrounded by all of those other terrific dishes!!!
Betsy says
Nice meal, Susan! I just bought a big bag of shelling peas at the farmers market. I think I’ll try your way with the prosciutto. We usually just shell and eat like a snack, but your side looks much more elegant. I was pleasantly surprised by these little pancakes. I can attest that they are delicious with creme fraiche and smoked salmon on top. Have a great weekend!
Maggie says
Ooooh I’m jealous of your beautiful peas! They are my favorite vegetable so I think maybe I will try my hand at growing them next year. Everything about your meal sounds totally delicious!
Kathy says
Such a lovely meal, Susan!! Your pancakes look incredibly delicious!! I love the way you served them with the avocado and tomato on top!!! And your peas are gorgeous mine are just starting to come in. Beautiful! Wishing you a Happy 4th!!
Mary Hirsch says
That’s a beautiful plate, Susan (and, John) and you’ve done those corn pancakes proud. I want to know who shucks those peas – I don’t know much about your professional lives but someone in your household must have to take furlough days to do those “foodie” chores. As you know, my daughter is here with me this week and she is loving the opportunity to read the Posts of all my food blog friends.
Rose says
Your meal looks delicious. I am so jealous that you have such ready access to freshly caught fish.
I too was not really looking forward to this recipe but then I ended up liking it. Even plain, but I have to say that I really like your idea to mex them up a bit.
Trevor Sis Boom says
If there is ever any doubt on how ANY of these fine recipes we are learning should be stitched together into a glorious meal you are here to show us how to do it with such perfection. And that fish! Could it look any more inviting?
