Welcome to week 3 of our Sam’s Club Seafood series! Last week I made Parmesan Crusted Tilapia with Artichoke Garlic Butter Sauce and it was the first time I had ever eaten Tilapia and the sauce/topping was a huge hit with my family. (TIP: We had garlic mashed potatoes with our dinner that night. Try mixing leftover sauce/topping in with mashed potatoes – it was heaven!!) I still had half the bag of Tilapia left and ended up making fish tacos with it last night. I love that it was an easy, goto meal that didn’t require much work.

As a reminder, Sam’s Club is helping families across America add more seafood to their dinnertime menus with seven weeks of easy meal solutions.

Sample delicious seafood at Sam’s Club® every weekend from February 27 – April 11. Just look for the demo cart in your local Sam’s Club freezer section and grab your sample! Along with tasty bites of the featured recipe, demo associates will be handing out a recipe guide with complete instructions on how to make them.

The Seafood recipes will range from classics like Fish & Chips to soon to be family favorites like Italian swai and Parmesan tilapia. All the recipes are easy to prepare any day of the week. A full schedule of events is below.

This week’s demo will be Fish n’ Chips featuring Sea Cuisine® Beer Battered Cod Fillets with Ore-Ida® Tater Tots or Ore-Ida Golden Crinkles®.

One of the reasons I really wanted to participate in this series is that I have never tried or made many of the meals. I always love discovering new things for my family to enjoy and this week is no exception. Ben likes Fish and Chips, but their “blah” factor has never appealed to me. If you haven’t noticed yet, I like flavor and spice! So my twist on the Fish n’ Chips classic is to incorporate one of my favorite and most used ingredients – garlic, and LOTS of it!

Prepare Sea Cuisine® Beer Battered Cod Fillets as directed on package. (You can actually cook them at the same time as the fries if you choose to bake them) While those are baking, prepare the following:

Basil Garlic Fries

2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh basil, minced
pinch black pepper
pinch salt

Combine ingredients in a small bowl.
Toss mixture with cooked french fries in a large bowl and add salt, if desired.

Lemon Garlic Aioli

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic, minced
salt
pepper

Mix all ingredients and chill before serving.

Remember to stop by next week to see my special twist on Stuffed Tilapia week!
