The hubs wanted to try Saltgrass. Uber expensive
I got some salmon and it had crab meat on top. The salmon was great but the crab meat was cold, like it had been refrigerated, which was weird.

Yea, it was really off putting. Once I took the crab meat off the salmon by itself was great

Yesterday was date night at home and my fiance wanted sea food! So i decided to go to the fishmonger and do everything from scratch to keep me busy as saturdays would usually be the days id crack open a MAGNUM of prosecco, not a bottle a magnum!!! And id polish it off to myself whilst sitting in the house watching telly, what actually was the need i wonder now 
.
Anyways! I made garlic and basical seared scallops to start, garlic and white wine mussels, then a pan fried sea bass with a garlic lemon and white wine sauce on top.
Now i knew when reading the recipes that if i bought white wine to make the food i wouldnt be strong enough just yet to pour the bottle away. So i got some white wine stock pots from tesco and wow 
so so so nice!! The sauces actually tasted better, especially the mussels. It was not too over powering and had a lovely subtle taste! Any other reccomendations for alcohol alternatives when cooking would be appreciated as i dont want to get in a habit of avoiding making certain things

Amazing. I use the red wine stock pots as well…I also freeze red wine into these pouches you can get specifically for liquids like milk. They have a twisty opener and reseal. For white wine I also use a splashof soiusxang (horrible spelling) cooking wine as I know I would never drink that… Says someone who’s had hand gel 
Your food looks beautiful by the way

I use balsamic vinegar for pasta sauces, bolognese or red meat stews etc instead of red wine. Just splash a few spoonfuls in the pan when the meat is browned (or onions/veg softened), let it evaporate and then put your liquids in for the sauce.

Think I’d end up ‘sampling’ them before dinner… until there were no samples left
