The definitive krill recipe resource? I'll ask the dolphins.
From Krillco:
The best source for krill recipes is the "Martha Stewart Cooks with Krill" episode of her television cooking show. Martha prepares krillcakes, chilled krill cocktail, roast krill in puff pastry, krill flambé, and is midway through preparing krill sushi when she is eaten by an X/19 Giant Mutant Krill.
From EatingAsia:
Krill - It's Not Just For Whales Anymore
From ChowHound:
Krill are tiny, shrimplike creatures ... that swarm in the Antarctic south of Tierra del Fuego. In other words, whale food."It is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which repair aging cells,"
Well, that could be true. I've never seen a wrinkled whale.
San Fran ChowHound:
Should the desire hit you, Eon Cafe on Hayward serves krill ... in almost everything ... cookies, clam chowder, sushi, tuna salad.

My only concern about eating krill scraped from a boat is that a lot of boat hulls are painted with a toxic paint meant to prevent barnacle and algae growth. Probably little, if any of such paint exists on my previously neglected boat. I'll be sure to let you know if and when I build up the courage for a Ramen and Krill meal. Any suggestions for a wine pairing? Maybe a nice Chianti?
Pic is what we had for dinner last night instead of Ramen with Krill. Buffy cooked up some fettucini, mixed in a bottle of Ragu, and added some sliced roasted red peppers.

At least you know that next time you are out in the seas and are low on food, you can jump overboard and scrap the hull. Fred suggested a black wine that goes with anything edible or inedible. Leave it to Mr. Fred to add hot sauce on his Krill :)
One more item on Krill - The name comes from a Norwegian term meaning "small fry.
Measuring only an average of 4 to 5 cm in length and weighing a mere 1 gram, krill is surprisingly high in nutrition. Each krill consists of about 15% high-quality protein containing vital amino acids, which can only be obtained from a healthy diet, and about 3% fat and vitamins. It also supplies to your diet a wealth of minerals such as iron, phosphorus and calcium. The high nutritional value of krill is one of the reasons that it is being called the food of the future.
Krill oil contains Omega 3 which plays a role in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure and decreasing wrinkles. http://www.conspac.com/faq.html
Oh, A Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and Amy.
"May the road rise to meet you,
"May the wind be always at your back,
"May the sun shine warm upon your face,
"May the rain fall soft upon your fields,
"And, until we meet again,
"May God hold you in the palm of his hand."
Happy St. Pat's Day to all. Last year this time, Buffy and I were viewing an interminable parade on the slushy streets of Manhattan. I do prefer Baltimore's shorter and more whimsical parade to Manhattan's long and somewhat humorless one. (The gay and lesbian protesters across from the Apple store were more entertaining than most of the NYC parade.)
To commerate and celebrate St. Paddy's day, I did some searching and found some fun stuff:
Saint Patrick's Day (March 17th), is an Irish holiday honoring Saint Patrick, the missionary credited with converting the Irish to Christianity (in the A.D. 400's). In America, Saint Patrick's Day is a time to wear green and party. The first American celebration of Saint Patrick's Day was in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737.
What's good luck on Saint Patrick's Day?
- Finding a four-leafed clover (that's double the good luck it usually is).
- Wearing green - because it is the color of spring, Ireland, and the shamrock.
- Kissing the blarney stone.
IN HONOR OF AMY'S VISIT, I THOUGHT THE BLARNEY STONE MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE:
The Blarney Stone is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the Irish village of Blarney. Kissing the stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of persuasive eloquence. The legend says that an old woman cast a spell on the stone to reward a king who had saved her from drowning. Kissing the stone while under the spell gave the king the ability to speak sweetly and convincingly. It's difficult reach the stone. Kissers have to lie on their back and bend backward or downward, holding iron bars for support.
AND THEN SOME LIBATION
Irish Coffee:
1 shot Irish Whiskey
1 tbsp Sugar
6 oz. Coffee
Whipped Cream for garnish
Pre-warm a stemmed glass. Add the whiskey. Add the sugar and stir in the coffee. Float the whipped cream on top. Drink the coffee through the cream.
Do not stir after adding the cream.
AND A TOAST:
Here's to absent friends and here's twice to absent enemies.
Here's to the light heart and the heavy hand.
Thirst is a shameless disease so here's to a shameful cure.
Here's to a wet night and a dry morning.
May we always have a clean shirt, a clean conscience, and a bob in the pocket.
May you be across Heaven's threshold before the old boy knows you're dead.
FOLLOWED BY A GOOD IRISH MEAL (NO KRILL PLEASE):
Irish Tradition
Many people will be eating Irish food such as Irish Stew and Corned Beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. Corned Beef is not an Irish dish. It is what Americans think the Irish eat. A more traditional meal would be ham and cabbage or bacon and cabbage. Some say that in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day the traditional green beer is prominent. However, in Ireland, many years ago, St. Patrick's Day is considered a holy day and Pubs were not open for business. There were no parades and no drinking.

AND WATCH OUT FOR THAT LEPRECHAUN NAMED MR. GLAD!
The name leprechaun is derived from the old Irish word luchorpan which means "little body."
A leprechaun is a fairy taking the appearance of a miniature old man. Leprechauns are solitary creatures and spend their time making shoes and brogues. If you hear the sound of his hammer when he is at work you know you have found him. If caught, he can be forced to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun, just for a moment, he will vanish.
Enjoy!
