Lunch in Elizabeth:Chick’s Seafood

Chick’s Seafood
230 Trumbull St
Elizabeth NJ

Cute little Portuguese Place.. I guess its pretty well known in Elizabeth.. It has changed owners a few times in the last couple of years but it still remains good.. I was sitting next to this guy in Las Vegas once at a Black Jack Table.. He was like, you work in Elizabeth, have you ever been to Chick’s Seafood.. I guess this place and a local strip club are high on the “things” to see list for truck drivers coming to the area..

They have a regular menu, but I find the specials come out more quickly…

We started with shrimp and garlic from the regular menu.. Garlic, wine, oil, shrimp, lemon and a couple shots of red pepper.. Whats not to love..

Dinner for three: Portuguese Pork and Clams

Dinner for three.. I browned some cubes of pork shoulder, deglazed the pan with homemade vegetable stock, then wine, a little paprika, some garlic, threw in clams and chickpeas, thyme and parsley.  Let it get to before boiling then, covered and let the clams and pork cook for about 15 or 20 minutes.
