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.
