Bake and Blend Bisque

Brian Mathae

HURRICANE HANKS

Just as I was contemplating what to feature for today’s recipe, a friend reached out to me and of all things, we started talking about lobster bisque. It was an “aha” moment for me! I really enjoy dishes with shellfish of any kind, but due to an ongoing intolerance to edible alliums, it’s rare that I eat a bisque of any kind as they traditionally contain a significant amount of onion. Alliums also include garlic, chives, scallions and shallots. As the vast majority of recipes contain one or more of these ingredients, you can see how limited my dining-out options can become.

So, whenever I start thinking about a recipe for a dish I want to confidently enjoy, I need to make modifications to the list of ingredients. The simple ingredients and the simplicity of preparation of this recipe make modifications incredibly easy. The obvious choice is to leave out the offending ingredients. I seem to be able to tolerate garlic somewhat better than onion so a trick that I have some success with when making soup bases or sauces is to simply peel the onion and put it in the dish without dicing or chopping it. Once the soup base or sauce is cooked, I remove the whole onion. I find the onion has had enough time to impart the flavor it needs to. And with it removed I don’t have to fear actually digesting pieces of onion. I don’t know why, but this approach works better for me than even using granulated onion or onion powder.

I titled this recipe a bake and blend recipe because that is the beautiful simplicity of it. You coarsely chop the vegetables, throw them in a casserole dish, bake them until soft and then blend them. For the lobster component, I recommend lobster tails as they offer the sweetest taste and firmest texture to the soup. Typically, lobster tails are split using scissors to cut through the hard shell and the tail meat is pulled out and laid over the top when presenting the lobster tail in its entirety on a plate. In this instance, it’s better to separate the lobster meat from the shell so that the shells can be used immediately in the stock without overcooking the lobster meat. The shells will give your bisque a beautiful lobster richness.

This is a super tasty recipe that hardly takes any effort at all. With all that time to spare you should consider some interesting sides to serve alongside it. A baked cheesy bread served warm alongside this appeals to me the most. That way you can soak up every last drop of the bisque! Enjoy!

Add butter and bake for 30 minutes in the oven. While the vegetables bake, simmer lobster tail shells in vegetable stock in a large saucepan. Remove the casserole from the oven, add lobster tail meat on top and baste the meat with juices from the casserole pan. Return to oven and bake 15 minutes more until lobster meat is fully cooked. Remove the casserole from the oven and carefully place the lobster meat aside. Remove and discard the lemon rind and squeeze the cloves of garlic and discard the papery skin. Remove lobster shells from the vegetable stock. Place stock, cream and contents of casserole in a heat-safe blender and blend until thick and creamy. Immediately portion the bisque into four bowls. Place a lobster tail in the middle of each bisque. Gently drizzle a small amount of olive oil so it floats on the bisque, add chopped basil and serve immediately.

Planning a successful fishing trip

Reel Time

RUSTY CHINNIS

Planning any fishing trip can be a challenge given the peculiarities of weather and the idiosyncrasies of fish. Add a few thousand miles, a different language and an exotic species or two, and some serious planning is advisable.

Chances are you’ve been looking forward to this trip for a long time and finally, you’ll have the opportunity to do nothing but eat, fish, sleep and repeat for a week or more. More than likely, it’s taken a tremendous amount of time and money to get this opportunity so it makes good sense to develop a plan to assure that you have the best possible chance of success.

Deciding where to go and when are the first decisions you’ll make. While it’s not impossible to book your own trip, knowing the best time, tides and lodging can be daunting. In addition, juggling the details of plane reservations, transfers, accommodations and guides can increase the challenge of putting together a self-guided trip.

A knowledgeable outfitter or travel host can provide you with the experience and insider information that will allow you to immerse yourself in the experience instead of the details. Even when using an outfitter, you’ll need to do some research to assure you’ve matched your angling needs and expectations to your chosen destination. There are a lot of resources online, including some great groups on Facebook, but you’ll need to vet those sources.

On recent trips to the Bahamas and Montana, I traveled with groups hosted by Capt. Rick Grassett of Sarasota. While I’ve planned my own trips around writing assignments for years and am familiar with many of the destinations I’ve traveled to

SEE REEL TIME, PAGE 21

RUSTY CHINNIS | SUN When you’re heading out to fish-fabled waters, having everything in order increases your odds of success.

FROM PAGE 20 with him, having all the arrangements, including air travel, coordinated by someone else is a big asset.

When choosing an outfitter or destination host, be aware that knowing what you want from your trip and asking the right questions is important to fulfilling your expectations. Some of the best fishing is available at sites that have the least amenities. If you require a certain level of service or are traveling with non-fishers, you’ll want to research locations that offer specific conveniences as well as good fishing. While you won’t want to plan your trip based on secondhand information, you’ll find it can be helpful to talk to others who have made the trip you’re planning. Ask the outfitter or host for several references and question them carefully. Make sure they have been to the location recently and at the time of the year you plan to visit.

In foreign countries, (the Bahamas is a foreign country) you’ll be hard-pressed to replace items you forgot to pack, particularly fishing tackle. This is one case when it’s probably better to pack more than you think you’ll need, within reason! Making a packing list and checking it before your departure will pay dividends. Most destinations provide lists that you can use to make sure you don’t forget anything important. While their recommendations are a good place to start, customizing your own travel list can help ensure that you have what you need while streamlining the amount of baggage you take.

Many tropical fishing destinations are very near the equator, so anglers need to pay special attention to the sun. Longsleeved pants and shirts with sun protection are advisable along with a high SPF waterproof sunscreen. Polarized glasses with glare guards and a fishing hat with a dark underbrim are mandatory and a second pair of each should accompany you. For years I’ve used a full-face mask and gloves for sun protection. Recently, I started wearing a fishing hoodie with thumb holes that protect my face, hands and wrists. I find hoodies much more comfortable and invested in several that have bamboo (very comfortable) fibers woven in. Invest in a good pair of flats wading boots and a sling or fanny pack with a water bottle holder and you’ll be good to go.

The success or failure of any fishing adventure will vary due to conditions beyond your control but being mindful of the things you do have control over can make or break your trip. Be prepared, do your homework up front, ask good questions of knowledgeable sources and be flexible. The time and effort you expend in planning the trip will pay in dividends of tight lines and lasting memories.

Summer fishing stays hot

CAPT. DAVE WHITE

Just like the temperature lately, the fishing around Anna Maria Island has been hot!

We here at Anna Maria Charters have been dividing our time between inshore and offshore trips lately. Offshore, red snapper just closed for charter captains on the 19th. But we did very well this season and are happy to give those fish a break. Also offshore, we’re targeting mangrove and yellowtail snapper as well as red grouper and the occasional blackfin tuna. We see a surprise cobia in the mix from time to time as well.

Inshore, the mangrove snapper have been crazy. It’s not hard to get a legal limit quickly. We’re also catching snook, redfish andt sharks consistently. The snapper fishing should remain the same until our first cold fronts of the season. But we’ve got a long way to go before we see much by way of a temperature drop! Good luck, and stay hydrated!

Joyce Margaret (Mee) Maranville

Joyce Margaret (Mee) Maranville passed away peacefully just short of her 91st birthday on Aug. 18, 2022 in Punta Gorda, Florida. She was born on Aug. 26, 1931 in London, England, to the late Rosamond Mae Dunstone Mee (Parker) and Arthur Wiliam Mee.

Growing up in Plymouth, England, Joyce attended Pryor’s Academy in Plymouth. Joyce met Irvin Maranville, who served aboard the USS Hamul when he was stationed in Plymouth. Joyce and her mother moved to New York in 1950, and in June 1951, she was engaged to Irvin in East Wallingford, Vermont. In September of that year, Joyce traveled to California and was married Sept. 5 at St. Peter’s Chapel in Vallejo, California. After Irvin’s discharge from the Navy, Joyce and Irvin traveled cross-country, settling in Rutland, Vermont where Irvin was the proprietor of the Orange Disc Gulf Station. During this time, their first three children (Stephen, Deborah and Pamela) were born. In 1958, Irvin joined the Vermont State Police, and the family lived in Essex Junction and Essex Center (where Trevor and Jessica joined the family), Colchester and Rutland. Joyce became a U.S. citizen in 1959. Joyce was a court reporter, working at the Vermont District Court, as an owner of Court Reporters Associates, and the federal court in both Burlington and Rutland, retiring in 1995. Joyce and Irvin moved to Anna Maria Island in 2000, enjoying both the warmer weather and the ocean (that she loved as she grew up in England).

Joyce and Irvin and their children were always active in the Episcopal Church, first at Trinity Church in Rutland, then St. James in Essex Junction, and returning to Trinity Church in Rutland. Joyce and Irvin were directors of the Rock Point Summer Conferences (1970 and 1971) and were involved in the Faith Alive and Vermont Cursillo programs. Joyce lived a life of faithful devotion to her faith and her church and her family. Joyce was always involved in activities with her church and family, including youth group activities, vestry, Eastern Star, Girl Scouts, church activities, and much more. She knitted and sewed many projects, including fine needlepoint and quilts. In October 1986, Joyce and Irvin were ordained as deacons at Trinity Episcopal Church in Rutland. Their service as deacons to their church family and friends was an important and large part of their lives, and they continued to serve from 2000 at the Church of the Annunciation on Anna Maria Island, Florida until their second retirement in 2015.

Joyce and Irvin traveled through the Holy Land, England, Bermuda and many places in the United States. In November, 2018 Joyce moved to Punta Gorda after the death of her husband.

Joyce is survived by her son, Stephen A. (Nancy) Maranville, of Punta Gorda, Florida; and daughters, Deborah J. Wallis, of Norwich, Vermont, Pamela A. (Jeffrey) Deluca, of Fairfield, Connecticut and Jessica M. (Thomas) LaPlante, of Falmouth, Maine. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Irvin Walter Maranville; her son, Trevor A. Maranville (both in 2018); her parents; and sister, Stella (Mee) Appleby. She is remembered and loved by 17 grandchildren; Kelley (Cesar) Herrera, of Punta Gorda, Florida, Lisa (Stephen) Montoya, of Tampa, Florida, Peter (Karen Tran) Wallis, of Santa Monica, California, Elizabeth Wallis (Jason) Margeson, of Westbrook, Maine, John (Carla Santosoussa) Wallis, of Olmstead Falls, Ohio, Sarah Wallis, of Pittsford, Vermont, Jessica Deluca and Sarah Deluca, of Santa Monica, California, Emily (Matthew) Strand, of Guilford, Connecticut, Allie Deluca, of Fairfield Connecticut, Thomas (Deborah) Maranville, of Underhill, Vermont, Tyler Maranville, of Morrisonville, New York, Michael Maranville, of Essex Junction, Vermont, Robert (Ashley) Maranville, of Essex Center, Vermont, Joseph LaPlante, of Maitland, Florida, Samuel (Stephanie) LaPlante, of Warwick, Rhode Island and Jacob (Alexa) LaPlante, of Stamford, Connecticut. Her great-grandchildren include Kira, Kyle and Kaden Herrera; Emma Tran Wallis; Baileigh, Rebecca and Markus Margeson; Riley, Dylan, Elliot and Ainsley Joy Montoya; Colton and William Maranville; and Hunter, Skylar and Jade Whalon.

A celebration of Joyce’s life and Funeral Service was held on Aug. 20 at the Church of the Annunciation, 4408 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach, Florida, 34217. Burial will be at a later date at the Maple Grove Cemetery in East Wallingford, Vermont.

Waterfront home buyers have lots to learn

To say that waterfront living is not for the faint of heart would not do justice to fainting. It’s more like a daily swoon, especially in storms or high tides. But even just plain old daily living can be daring.

Do you think you’re ready?

As soon as you walk through the front door of a Gulf-front home, your first instinct is to get out your checkbook. But buying on the water is not as conventional as buying inland. You need to do a lot of research about the expenses and consequences of water intrusion when you live in a flood zone.

Also, don’t think just because your home isn’t direct waterfront that you’re safe; chances are if you’re living along the west coast of Florida, you’re still in a flood zone. Remember that all of Anna Maria Island and the waterfront areas of Cortez are considered at high risk of flooding, as well as riverfront properties in Manatee County. Waterfront properties in flood zones will have required elevation regulations put in place by the county, state and FEMA for new construction and major renovations.

Finally, flood insurance and homeowner’s insurance are seriously impacted by living in a flood zone. FEMA’s flood insurance is capped at $250,000, which requires most homeowners in a flood zone, and certainly on Anna Maria Island, to purchase additional private flood insurance.

Buyers need to be especially vigilant when buying waterfront properties because of everything from minor corrosion to seriously impaired bulkheads on canal front properties. The average cost to replace seawalls in Florida runs between $500 to $1,200 a linear foot. Even if your seawall is only 60 linear feet, assuming an average price of $800 a linear foot, you’re looking at somewhere in the range of $40,000 to $50,000. There are federal loans available to repair seawalls, which may be the only ray of sunshine if your bulkhead fails.

The point here is that if you’re buying waterfront, you don’t just need a home inspection, you also need a structural engineer experienced with bulkhead and possibly dock inspections and pilings. In addition to the structure, the dock area needs to be inspected for mold, termites and other wood-boring insects.

Just to make life on the water more interesting, you can expect your appliances as well as air conditioning systems to have a reduced life due to salty air and wind exposure, even getting into the interior of your home. The best way to stay on top of this is to set up a schedule to inspect your home regularly for evidence of corrosion, rust, mold and little buggers. This is where hiring a manager for rental properties becomes important and worth the price.

If you live in a waterfront condo, most of the inspection process and replacement of association-owned infrastructure are taken care of. That doesn’t mean you won’t pay for it, but it does take the responsibility off your shoulders and the cost is spread around.

Notice I haven’t said one word about the threat of hurricanes. It goes without saying that hurricanes can be the biggest test to waterfront living and require organization and preparedness.

Living on the water is both a challenge and a blessing. Would you trade the cool evening breeze for a suffocating landlocked property and just a little peace of mind? Or do you want to be one of those people who walk outside every day and marvel at the view and can’t believe how lucky they are? Not even close.

COLEMAN: Anna Maria loses business, community icon

FROM PAGE 1 grew up with. I didn’t know this existed anymore.’ We started visiting frequently and built the house on Pine Avenue in 2005 and moved in.

“Michael and I would walk up and down Pine Avenue and realize how many abandoned properties there were – and how there was originally a plan for this street that had gone awry because Pine Avenue was soon going to become all residential. We talked about how we could restore and preserve the original plan for Pine Avenue,” Jane said.

Coleman and fellow businessman Ed Chiles then initiated the Pine Avenue Restoration (PAR) project that would help reshape the Pine Avenue business district into what it is today.

“The PAR project started to come together in 2007 and started to be real in 2008. We were standing in our driveway on the Fourth of July in 2009 and the Island Accommodations building at 315 Pine was finished and Island Accommodations had moved in,” Jane said, noting the couple later moved to Sycamore Avenue.

“People respected and appreciated Micheal, even if they didn’t always agree with him. Micheal was an entrepreneur. At all times he was starting and developing businesses. That’s what he did from the time he was a young man. He designed computer businesses for engineers in Silicon Valley in the early 80s. Michael was totally goal oriented. He didn’t have a hobby. He was always working on a project. Michael took an interest in young people, especially young people who wanted to start a business. Micheal showed them how they could do it, how they could have their dreams,” Jane said.

Jane noted she and Mike did not own the Poppo’s Taqueria restaurant on the 200 block of Pine Avenue, but it’s all in the family.

“That’s the boys: Patrick, Casey and Patrick’s wife, Rowen. Jack is not an owner, but he started working at Poppo’s when he was 13 and he’s the head of catering. Nate is the graphic designer and marketing director. John, our oldest son, is a builder for Ross Built Construction,” she said.

“I’d like Micheal to be remembered as somebody who everyday genuinely thought about what he could do to help and preserve this community. If somebody was having a problem, he got up in the morning and went to work to help them. If somebody needed his input, they got it. Micheal tried to accomplish something for people’s well-being every single day. That’s why he was my best friend – because that’s what he did for me. Micheal lived well,” Jane said. PAR PROJECT

Regarding Coleman’s passing, Chiles said, “It’s sad, but he died peacefully at home with his family around him. The number one thing in his life was Janie and his family. He left quite a mark on Anna Maria. He was smart and he was a hard worker. He was a unique guy and a good friend.”

When pursuing the PAR project, Coleman and Chiles encountered many challenges while getting their retail/office/ residential projects approved by the city and the city commission.

“The PAR project was Mike’s idea. He came to me and said we should do something to make sure the main street of Anna Maria became what it was always supposed to be, dating back to when they first built the City Pier. In 2004, some big houses got built along Pine Avenue. You could see that Pine Avenue was going to go all residential and we

FROM PAGE 3 Cortez Road Investments. The lawsuit seeks compliance with the Manatee County ordinance that states docks, boat lifts and other structures cannot extend more than 25% into the canal. Martin said county enforcement efforts are currently underway to bring those canal elements into compliance to create more navigable space.

When testifying for MHC Cortez Village, witness Pete Peterson referenced bathymetric surveys taken by surveyor Gary Bazemore. Peterson was among those who expressed concerns about the depth of the canal in some locations, particularly along the sides of the canal.

When testifying as an expert witness for MHC Cortez Village, boat captain Chris Karentz shared his belief that the Hunters Point docks would significantly hinder navigation on the canal. Under cross-examination, Karentz, like McPadden, acknowledged there are areas where one boat can pull over and allow another boat to safely pass.

PROPOSED SAFETY MEASURES

During the hearing, several potential safety measures were discussed and debated. Martin noted signs already have been placed in the canal asking boaters to use marine radio channel 9 to communicate with other boaters when approaching the 90-degree turn and any other blind spots. She also noted mirrors have been installed along the canal to improve visibility.

Martin said the revised Hunters Point homeowners association documents now require all Hunters Point dock owners to complete a boating safety course. She suggested the marina require the same of its patrons.

The attorneys and witnesses offered differing opinions on the effectiveness of marine radios, mirrors and boating safety course. It also suggested that some areas of the canal remain dock-free to created designated pullover areas.

Martin suggested one-way travel times during which navigation would be restricted to one direction at a time during half-hour intervals. She noted this would require the marina to stage their arrivals and departures accordingly.

When Martin mentioned possibly closing off the canal near the marina basin, Culpepper said that was not open to consideration. In June, the judge and attorneys all agreed that riparian rights and the continued use of the canal by non-Hunters Point residents is a matter to be decided in a civil court – and Cortez Road Investments has already filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to prohibit the marina and its patrons from using the canal.

Hinting at the possibility of compromise, Woodland noted the petition filed on behalf of MHC Cortez Village does mention permit modification as one desired outcome.

At the conclusion of the hearing, Culpepper will issue a written recommended order as to whether the environmental resource permit was properly issued or should be modified or revoked. The water management district’s governing board members will then make a final ruling.

FROM PAGE 25 were going to lose the opportunity to have that small business district that makes a town or a village. We were in danger of losing that. Mike came to me with the idea of getting some of those properties under contract and creating a vision for making that small business district a reality. We voted with our checkbooks to say we wanted it to happen in a way that reflected the value, character and history of the city,” Chiles said.

“On a bicycle he pulled from the weeds and refurbished, Mike pedaled around in his cargo shorts and T-shirt and the next thing you know we had several properties under contract. Ted LaRoche joined us and we all partnered in the PAR project with Mike as the operating partner. We went on a quixotic journey that Mike was instrumental in getting us through. It was quite a struggle. Not everybody liked it, but most people thought it was a pretty good thing,” Chiles said, noting the PAR properties were later sold to other owners.

A RESPECTED FIGURE

Anna Maria Mayor Dan Murphy said, “Known by many as the ‘Mayor of Pine Avenue,’ Micheal helped change the face of the main artery of our city. But Micheal’s most important accomplishment was that of being a family man, totally devoted to his wife and children.”

City Commissioner Carol Carter said, “Mike was a part of the fabric of Anna Maria and Pine Avenue. He cared about our city and was a valued ‘watchdog’ who often kept me on my toes with regard to city issues. He will be greatly missed by our community.”

City Commissioner Jon Crane said, “Mike had an oversized influence on Pine Avenue and Anna Maria. May he rest in peace.”

Anna Maria General Store and City Pier Grill business owner Brian Seymour said, “My relationship with Mike was as a fellow small business owner and he was always supportive of the small businesses in Anna Maria. Whether we were competing, as we did for the City Pier contract, or sharing ideas to strengthen our business community and community, he was always kind and respectful. His presence in and around Anna Maria will be missed.”

Manatee County Commissioner Carol Whitmore said, “Mike Coleman was an asset to Anna Maria. He stood up for difficult projects and saw them through to the end. Anna Maria would not be the same without the character and vision of Mike Coleman and Ed Chiles.”

Speaking on behalf of the Sato family that owns and operates several businesses on Pine Avenue, Jason Sato said, “Although there was a lot of controversy back in the day, what Mike and Ed and Ted did for Pine Avenue with the PAR project created more opportunities for people to start businesses and live on the Island. Mike spent a lot of time working on the PAR project and we owe a lot to him for doing that. Pine Avenue has become a destination and PAR played a big part of that. Pine Avenue now has real estate offices, ice cvream shops, restaurants, retail stores, the general store, a design studio, golf cart and bike rentals and more. If it wasn’t for PAR, we probably wouldn’t have that. People saw what PAR did and that inspired them to start their own businesses.”

Ginny’s and Jane E’s owner Paul Foster mentioned Coleman’s passing on Facebook.

“Micheal was a good man, very active in his community. He had an opinion, he shared it and I liked him for it, agree or not with him. I will miss our talks. He was always a good listener and he took an active interest in our business and its success. He did the same with Josh and Bri at The Porch. He loved young people venturing out on their own. The world seemed quiet today, noticeably missing a voice that will be no longer heard,” Foster wrote.

In her Facebook comment, community member Cindy Thompson wrote, “He was larger than life and unapologetically who he was. While impossible to always agree with him, you always respected him. His contribution to Pine Ave, Anna Maria, the community center, the Chamber and the Island community as a whole was vast and is a legacy he and his family can be proud of. I will always be grateful for his friendship, guidance and advice.”

A public memorial service will take place at the CrossPointe Fellowship, 8605 Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 9:30 a.m.
