Flavor on the Fly Episode 2: Maine

What’s better than Maine lobster? The fishing, food, and communities throughout Maine. In episode 2 of Flavor on the Fly, a Flylords original, Chef Ranga Perera explores Maine through the lens of fishing, cooking, and the communities surrounding both. From the rugged coasts and fertile oceans to the pristine mountain rivers and streams Maine is an outdoorsman’s paradise. Join Ranga as he chases striped bass, explores the endless lakes and ponds, and hops between rivers in search of smallmouth bass across Maine.

Along the way, Ranga Perera discovers the bountiful resources Maine has to offer. With abundant local ingredients including bluefin tuna, lobster, and plenty of shellfish Maine is ripe for a chef. Balancing local ingredients and his pallet for flavor, Ranga crafts an intricate lobster curry that would make any mouth water. He expertly showcases Maine through a culinary perspective highlighting its communities and locally sourced ingredients.
