Hook, Line & Dinner S02E04 - Islamorada

Ben heads down to Islamorada in the Florida Keys - the Sport Fishing Capital of the World. Thanks in part to the romantic imagery of Ernest Hemmingway, the crown jewel of sport fishing is the swordfish, and Ben teams up with Richard Stanczyk - owner of Bud n' Mary's Marina - to hook a big one. Returning to shore, they grill it with sundried tomatoes and shallots with house chef Kevin O'Hara. Ben also targets the cero mackerel, a fish with a reputation for its blazing speed. Ben and his mackerel head to Lazy Days Restaurant, where chef Lupe Ledesma shows off his favorite recipe involving panko breadcrumbs, sauteed fresh tomatoes, and scallions.
