I am a big fan of field peas, and the field pea salad at C. Ellet’s at The Battery is the best cold field pea salad I’ve ever tried. Will they share the recipe? — Andrew Whittaker, Marietta
Chef Christopher Li created this recipe when he saw fresh shelled peas available from a local farmer and learned the peas would be available all summer. “I wanted to get Gulf snapper on the menu because I am originally from Florida and grew up eating this fish, and I wanted something a little more local/regional for our menu in addition to our popular salmon. I thought of a lemony, spicy profile for the salad to complement the crispiness and assertiveness of the snapper skin, and because I just associate those flavors with summer.”
