Memo: Summer is almost over. 

I’m bummed about this reality check. While most of you chapelboro.com readers escaped to Pawleys Island or Topsail at some point this season, this little piggy stayed home. I might not have road tripped it to the beach nearly as much as I wanted, but I was sorta productive, and I have the pasty white skin to prove it. 

A few big projects kept me indoors this summer. Amongst other things, I launched a biz that should be on the radar of every food-lovin’ person in the Piedmont, Dock to Door. Dock to Door is a fresh seafood delivery/distribution service based here in Chapel Hill. I saw the need to connect friends and neighbors with restaurant quality fresh seafood from the boats of Carolina fishermen, and I jumped. The idea is simple: make super-fresh seafood available to folks in the Triangle on a weekly basis. 

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Visit docktodoorseafood.com and order online by 10pm Wednesday evening. 
  2. Pay for your order online. You’ll receive e-confirmation of your order. 
  3. Pick up your order at 3Cups in Chapel Hill on Friday evening between 5pm – 7pm. 

ZZIIIING! Fresh seafood from North Carolina fishermen will be on the table in no time!

Preparing your seafood couldn’t be easier! In addition to including recipes with each item online, I bring several each week as takeaways for customers needing additional inspiration. 

Last week shrimp stole the show, people couldn’t buy enough of those gorgeous 16/20s for just $13. Plenty of you chapelboro.com readers picked up a pound or two so I’m curious…without channeling Bubba, what are some of your favorite ways to prepare shrimp?
