Mickey Melchiondo, aka Dean Ween, guitarist for rock duo Ween, unhooks a fine looking fluke he bagged off the coast of Neptune, NJ. For the last three months, he’s been getting up at 2:30am to fish the Atlantic. Hmmm, given a musician’s hours, he’s likely out there after a gig, then smartly back home to cook up some of his catch, and then crashing. No way to know for sure.

It’s just a tad early, but clearly some specialty farmers have been able to get zucchini blossoms to restaurants like Petite Maison in Midtown Manhattan.

My Zia Annina would never serve them with a  sauce — or call them beignets. That’s just verbal embellishment for the menu. She’d put them on a fresh linen kitchen towel, and we’d grab them with our hands and chow down.

Still, a little spicy tomato sauce is a nice touch.
