Anchor Seafood: The Best Seafood in Bergen County!

For as long as I can remember (at least 15 years or so), my family and I have been buying our seafood from Anchor Seafood. This local seafood store, located at 10 S Kinderkamack Rd in Montvale, NJ, has (in my opinion) the freshest and best quality seafood in Bergen County. Additionally, Anchor Seafood's variety is impressive. Fresh fish (whole and fillet), smoked fish, clams, mussels, lobster, pre-made seafood dishes, pre-marinaded fishes, squid, scallops, homemade clam chowder…the list goes on! Whenever we are in the mood for seafood, we always buy from Anchor!

The display cases are always stocked with a large variety of seafood

In addition to the wonderful quality and selection of seafood, I really like the staff. The owner, Richie, is such a down to earth guy, and he knows his seafood! He is always happy to help, provide suggestions, and discuss fishing. Sometimes, his sons help out and they are equally lovely and knowledgeable. The same can be said for the staff. Attentive, helpful, personable, and knowledgable. I always enjoy my visits to Anchor Seafood.
In addition to the fresh seafood selection, the freezers are also packed with goodies. Frozen seafood (of very high and delicious quality!), homemade soups and sauces, and pre-made meals.  Next to the freezers, there is a large fridge filled with beverages, eggs, clams and oysters, and a selection of homemade soups. Personally, I am very fond of Richie's New England Clam Chowder. So creamy and delicious! I definitely recommend it! 
Finally, the lobster tank. When you first walk in, it's the first thing you will see. The lobster tank is always full and the lobsters are quite large! We have never been disappointed with the Anchor Seafood lobsters. Juicy, large, and indulgent. Sure, it's a bit of a splurge, but these lobsters are worth every penny. I absolutely love the lobster here!!!
If you are looking for amazing seafood, look no further. Anchor Seafood is phenomenal. The quality of seafood is unmatched, the service is superb, and the prices are very reasonable. Anchor Seafood has something for everyone, and if you are unsure, just ask --- the staff is always happy to recommend something!

Gordon Ramsay's Cheesy Potato Dauphinoise

Image
I am fairly impressionable --- at least when it comes to cooking. When I see a recipe or a dish that intrigues me, I become obsessed and determine to give it a go. I have been obsessively watching Come Dine With Me  for at least one month and a dish that keeps popping up is: Potato Dauphionoise. I've eaten this side dish a couple times in my life, but not recently. It looked so delicious and easy to make, and I was determined to try my hand at this posh looking side. As per usual, I consulted the internet to look for recipes. As most of you know, I am obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. He is always my go to. If he doesn't have a recipe for something I want to make, I'm always feel a little lost, but luckily, that wasn't the case this time. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Gordon Ramsay's "Gratin Dauphonoise." He has yet to let me down and you know what, this dish was a winner! Something that I am adding to my repertoire.  This dish was incredibly e

Truffle Cream Cheese & Chive Spread

Image
So, I realize that this post is rather late…but I figure, better late than never, right? Over New Years, I was searching for recipes online, when I stumbled upon a new Gordon Ramsay recipe. As we all know, I LOVE Gordon Ramsay, in fact, I should probably just change my username to that.  Chef Ramsay has a recipe for a deliciously decadent, but oh so easy truffle cream cheese spread, and I couldn't resist. The ingredients are simple, you may even have most of them, and it takes no more than ten minutes to make. Oh, and it's delicious.  Whether you are entertaining guests or spending time alone, this spread is perfect for all occasions. It's great with bread and crackers, it's also delicious with grapes. The fluffiness of the cream cheese/sour cream, coupled with the decadence and amazing aroma of the truffle oil makes this a really luxurious spread that everyone will love!

Tawaraya - One of Kyoto's Most Famous and Oldest Ryokans

Image
On this visit to Kyoto, rather than stay at a hotel, my parents and I were fortunate enough two spend two nights at the very famous and exclusive Tawaraya ryokan . Tawaraya is considered one of the most famous and posh ryokans in Japan. Past guests have included Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, and even Marlon Brando! (Many famous Japanese people have stayed here as well, but these three just popped into my head). We made our reservation one year in advance, but even then, we had difficulty getting a room!  To quote Wikipedia: "A ryokan ( 旅館 ) is a type of traditional Japanese inn that originated in the Edo Period (1603 ~ 1868), when such inns served travelers along Japan's highways. They typically feature tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, and other public areas where visitors may wear yukata and talk with the owner…Most ryokans offer dinner and breakfast, which are often included in the price of the room. Most visitors take their meals at the ryokan, which usuall
