There’s nothing quite like sitting down to a scoff, and Ivan surely knows how to do it right. On the table today was a true Newfoundland-style meal — simple, hearty, and full of flavor.

The Spread

At the heart of the meal was fresh salmon, pan-fried to a perfect golden edge, with just the right seasoning to let the fish shine. Each piece was tender inside with that satisfying bit of crisp on the outside.

On the side were new potatoes, boiled up with their skins still on — no fuss, just good honest food. A bowl of peas added a touch of green, while a rich helping of gravy was there for anyone who wanted to pour it over top and make it all come together. And of course, no scoff is complete without something to wash it down — in this case, a cold Pepsi to round things out.

A Newfoundland Tradition

A scoff isn’t just about the food; it’s about the company and the tradition. Meals like this are about gathering around the table, sharing yarns, and enjoying the comfort of a plate full of food that could only be called down-home. Ivan’s salmon scoff delivered exactly that: warm bellies, good conversation, and a reminder that the best meals are often the simplest.

Another day, another scoff worth writing about. Thanks Ivan — that salmon was a beauty!
