Twice this week and probably eighteen times this year, the same gentleman in the Whole Foods seafood department has helped me with a seafood selection. I walked away today feeling ridiculous that I don’t know his name. Next time I’ll be in less of a hurry and will take the time to ask. Especially since he took the time to inspire this dish.
The pre-made pineapple wrapped fish at Whole Foods has always caught my attention. But since I have an aversion to pre-prepared things, I insisted on making my own. When I told Mr. Whole Foods Seafood Man {wouldn’t it be so much easier if I knew his name?} about my plan, he, with excitement, said that if I was going to make my own I should definitely use chipotle peppers because chipotle and pineapple are meant for one another.
He was right. I was surprised by how much chipotle and pineapple flavor the fish soaked up while broiling. But I wasn’t surprised at how well sweet pineapple and spicy, smoky chipotle paired. It was so delicious I ate both pieces. In one sitting.
