CONN.There is a long-standing concept in my mind that I can judge from a person's profession whether he may be a good cook.I will include doctors, lawyers, actors, painters, musicians and baseball players in the "possibilities" category.In the "no" category, I will put stock brokers, university professors (especially mathematicians), sculptors, computer analysts, people who like to climb mountains, and football players together.And airline pilots.A few years ago, I started a casual, irrelevant letter with a man named Arthur grauka.I once wrote about a food I like but rarely eat: soft shell clams, also known as steamed cage clams.I explained that according to my taste, the taste of clams is a godsend.But I'm allergic to any form of gray in the food, I haven't had a soft shell variety of clams yet, it doesn't have at least a bit of sand or silt, which destroys the fun of the dish.He replied that I know nothing about clams that remove sand and silt.In the course of our communication, I decidedGlowka is a passionate environmental activist (his main gripe is the pollution of the Hudson River), an athlete and writer who sometimes gets up at 2 in the morningM.to go fishing.He likes to cook.He is also a freelance writer and has published several articles.One day recently, I passed by his home in Stamford and visited him by the way.It's almost noon. after the traditional greetings, sir.Glowka invited me to join him for lunch with his wife Marion.He is ready to make his favorite dish with basic Russian dressing (mayonnaise and ketchup)-grilled fish.In memory of the meeting, he prepared a pot of light dishes and soft-shell clams, Marini ere style.It turns out that the meal was a lot more complicated than he or I planned,Glowka's enthusiasm is hard to suppress.After drinking a glass of white wine before the meal, he was shocked.Not only is he an environmental activist and athlete, he also earns bread every day as a hat.Eastern Airlines in Tyne.He has been flying to the east for more than 20 years.This is so much for my casual approach to using a person's profession as a guideline for cooking potential."I travel everywhere...Caribbean, Mexico, Canada ."Glowka said.But his favorite hops are shuttle flights to and from New York, Boston, or Washington."It makes me go home more often."He remembers a smoker at home. he Also hangs a blue fish.He left for a moment and came back with a blue fish fillet.He also reignited the charcoal fire he lit a few days ago.When we chewed the irresistible smoked blue fish, he said the airline's captain could bid for certain flights.He always asks for breakfast."I am an early man.I got up in front of the sun and got on board ."Glowka said.He is sure that Stamford has the best fish and shellfish in the world."From the beach to the bottom of the sea, there are veritable pots of fish and marine life."Even in winter, I can do ice fishing for pickerel, yellow bass, trout and Big Bass in freshwater lakes and reservoirs," he said .".The fish and seafood caught by the captain throughout the year are really impressive: cod, flounder fish, black fish, weak fish, clams.He said, "but basically, I am a tr of low tide.You can sprinkle some muck on the beach and pick up some hard and soft clams, mussels and razor clams --Not only is it your own table, it's also a bait.As he spoke, he wrapped a piece of blue fish in tin paper to prove it."If you wrap the fillet with foil without oil or seasoning, you can grill it on charcoal, when it is cooked and packed, the skin of the fish will stick to the foil and fall off when you remove the foil, "he said.Mr.Glowka threw the fish on the hot grill, and sure enough, when the fish was finished, the skin fell off as mentioned earlier.The fish has no seasoning, and it is delicious with melted butter and garlic sauce.When he worked, he said he became an environmental activist only because he was committed to nature.He holds a forestry degree and is a founding director of the Hudson River Fishermen's Association and a member of the PCB advisory committee of New York state.PCB is the abbreviation of PCBs and is widely used in the manufacture of Transformers, paints and many other products."PCBs are just part of a national tragedy that destroys fish life in the Hudson River, the Great Lakes and the country's major river systems," he said .".I asked Mr.If he ate food from the airline, he replied, "of course.I have no complaints about it.We get the same as the passengers.However, he revealed that most of the crew prefer to eat tourist snacks."It's a good compact food, not the delicate food they offer in first class," he explains ."."The View at the meal was the best in the world.”Mr.Glowka, 48, is a person who has a lot of interest in the past and now.He was a commercial diver. he was a candidate for an astronaut and ran a diamond mine in Brazil.He had a seven-year-old eel named Yili swimming in a tank in his library, and a pet chipmunk crawling around his desk.By the way, he has collected books and literary works of fish on the east coast of the United States.By the way, the way he makes soft shell clams with sand and silt is simple.He put the clams in an iron cage and dragged the clams over the water for several hours while fishing.Before leaving, I took a look at Glowka larder with homemade mackerel fish on crocks, which were kept for weeks, pickled fish, bones for a whileAs for his cooking habits.Glowka says everything he does is simple and quick."This is the way it must be.Time is the most important thing I have.This is a sample of the Glowka kitchen.1 quart washed mussels1 quart washed soft shell flap 8 tablespoons butter cup, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 teaspoon crushed dry
