Shopped the Sarasota farmers market on Saturday for ingredients for Sunday’s father day dinner to be prepared aand cooked by dad. Sister driving down from St. Pete Beach to enjoy this dinner on our balcony at Siesta Key Public Beach. At the market we purchased sea bass, lychees and garnet sweet potatoes. Now just needed a recipe and came across this great recipe that will fill the bill. Have rice, shallot and dried chiles on hand and will find a spice sauce to pour over sweet potato slices for a great dinner. The lychees are awesome and so fresh. Can’t wait until I can serve my father’s day dinner with your recipe.

Kevin -- Let us know how it turns out! Gracie -- Thanks for de-lurking! Amy -- The collaboration is the key, I think. This food wouldn't look nearly as good, except for Christey's wonderful photos. Emily -- Check out LycheesOnline! They're in the States (South Florida), and they ship tree-ripened fruit.

We used to get fresh lychees by the boxes around summertime when we lived in Taiwan. They were enormous, too. Now that we’re in the US, all the lychees we get are expensive, imported, puny, and clearly, not as delicious. Interesting recipe, but I think I love fresh lychees too much to do anything other than inhale them raw lol.

It’s hard to decide what I like better about your blog – the interesting recipes & techniques, or the great photography. I think what I like best is how you each marry your talents to collaborate on an immensely enjoyable blog that always leaves me hungry! Thanks for all your efforts.

Miss Kris — Hi there! The orchard is in Broward, so you might be close enough to go pick some up in person!

Liz — Yeah, we get that a lot

Soma — Check out LycheesOnline — they ship fresh lychees from their orchard!

Nirosha — Thank you!

Mary — Yeah, I’m not sure why they haven’t caught on yet. Hopefully, that will change!

Melanie — You know, if sriracha or wasabi was swapped for the New Mexico chiles, I’d bet it would be good on a seared tuna!

I wonder if it would be good on other fish, like tuna.

Looks delicious!

I first heard of lychees when i had a lychee martini at one of emeril’s restaurants. i really think they should be more popular
