SEAFOOD BOIL
An old recipe that's especially good for family get-togethers. It's good, it's fun, and clean-up is easy. It's best done outside around a picnic table. When shrimp and crabs are done, cover picnic table with four to five layers of newspaper. Remove everything from pot, drain, and spread in center of table. Gather everyone around and enjoy the feast. When everyone has had their fill, gather up the leftovers (if there is any), put all the scraps in the center of the table, roll up the newspaper around them, and put them in the trash. Go wash the one pot and the cleanup is done. Have fun and enjoy.

Steps:
- Use a very large pot (we use a 40 quart pot), fill it half full with water; bring water to a full boil. Add salt, shellfish boil, sausage, and potatoes. Let cook until the potatoes are approximately 1/2 completed cooking.
- Stir in lemons, hot peppers, and corn. Continue boiling until all of the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat.
- Mix in shrimp and crab. Cover pot and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. When shrimp are pink and the crabmeat opaque and flaky, remove all of the vegetables and shellfish from the pot, and drain well. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Choose the right type of fish. Traditional fish boil recipes use fish local to Wisconsin and Lake Michigan, such as lake trout and whitefish. However, you can use scrod, cod, haddock, or salmon if you don't have access to local whitefish. For this recipe, you'll need (4) ½ pound whitefish steaks. If you want to adjust the recipe for a larger group, have approximately a ½ pound to ¾ pound (227 g to 340 g) of fish per person.
- Find a large cast-iron pot and fire logs for an outdoor boil. If you are planning a traditional outdoor fish boil, you'll boil the fish in a large pot on an open fire. A cast-iron pot typically works best, and you'll need logs or slab wood, as well as matches or a lighter, for the fire. If you can't find a cast-iron pot or kettle for the fish boil, you can use a stainless steel or aluminum pot. It also helps to have a wire basket that you can place the fish in and lower into the pot that you're using. That makes it easier to remove the fish while it's finished boiling. Make sure that you have extra logs or slab wood on hand for the fire in case you to feed it during the fish boil. Instead of a log fire, you can use a propane torch to heat the pot for the boil.
- Select a large stockpot for an indoor boil. You can recreate a fish boil at home without starting an outdoor fire. Instead, use a large stainless steel or aluminum stock pot with on your stovetop. If your pot has a basket or a strainer insert, you'll have an easier time removing the fish when they're done cooking. If you don't have a strainer or basket for the pot, use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the water when they've finished boiling.

For those longing for a traditional fish boil, here's a recipe for a Home-Style Fish Boil from Amelia Levin's The Lake Michigan Cottage Cookbook. The amount of salt used at a fish boil might seem alarming, but the oils of the fish act as a protective barrier, allowing just enough salt in to add the right amount of flavor. Serve with these sides also from Amelia's book: Bavarian Dark Rye Bread (page 14) and butter and Creamy Coleslaw (page 15), along with your favorite local craft beer. For dessert, try a slice of Door County Cherry Pie (page 21), just like you'd finish off any traditional boil. Excerpted from The Lake Michigan Cottage Cookbook © by Amelia Levin. Used with permission from Storey Publishing: Photo: © David Nevala. Door County Fish Boil A skilled boil master - or in some cases, a local firefighter - throws kerosene onto a roaring fire that's serving as the heat source for a large caldron of salted water, fish, onions, and potatoes. A large group of local residents, vacationers, and other visitors - who planned ahead and reserved their spots - look on, plates and forks in hand, in eager anticipation of the hot meal to come. The foaming water violently bubbles up, hissing and spilling over the sides and bringing the fleshy chunks of whitefish to the top so they can be scooped off and served. Fish boils like this are held at supper clubs, inns, restaurants, and other spots up and down the lakefront on Friday nights, and occasionally on other nights of the week come summer. These boils - in addition to feeding the masses - also make for a good excuse to soak up the day's last few moments and enjoy a gorgeous bayside sunset over the lake.

CRAWFISH BOIL
Crawfish boils are a messy, fun, hands-on, social experience and not as intimidating as one would think. Add as little or as much heat as you like-these little guys get more flavorful the longer they sit. Bring the spicy bold flavors of this Louisiana shellfish to your next backyard gathering. Don't forget the paper towels!

Steps:
- Place the crawfish in a large cooler, cover with cold water and add 1 cup of the salt. Allow the crawfish to purge in the salted water for 5 to 10 minutes. (This Southern tradition is said to remove mud and impurities before cooking.) Strain the crawfish and set aside.
- Fill a 42-quart stockpot fitted with a boil basket halfway with water. Add the crab and crawfish boil seasoning and remaining cup kosher salt. Then add the sausage, corn, onions, lemon juice and rinds, garlic, butter, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully add the crawfish to the stockpot and cook until they're bright red, about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and add the ice to the stockpot to halt the cooking. Allow the crawfish and other ingredients to sit in the iced water for 25 to 30 minutes (the longer the crawfish sit, the more flavorful they become).
- Pull the crawfish, sausage and vegetables from the water using the boil basket. Serve over newspaper spread out on a table and sprinkle with seafood boil seasoning.
BROILED FISH
Mother's secret in preparing this dish was to butter the fish before dusting it with flour. That seals in the moisture and makes the fish so succulent. -Ann Berg, Chesapeake, Virginia

- Scrub 1 1/2 pounds medium red potatoes and peel 8 small onions, leaving the stem ends intact. In a large stockpot, combine the potatoes and onions and add about 2 quarts of water, enough to cover the vegetables by 2 inches. Stir in 2 tablespoons kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Partially cover the pot and cook until the potatoes are almost tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
- Arrange four 1/2-pound whitefish steaks in a single layer on top of the vegetables; don't worry if they aren't covered with water. Partially cover the pot again, lower the heat to moderate and cook until the whitefish flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 10 minutes longer.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the whitefish to a large, warm platter. Spoon the potatoes and onions around the fish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Serve the fish and vegetables with melted unsalted butter and lemon wedges alongside.
