Show 697, September 19, 2026: “Ask the Chef” with Chef Andrew Gruel of Calico Fish House and Show Co-host

Chef Andrew Gruel of the Calico Fish House

Our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) now joins us with his timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries.

Today Chef Andrew previews the upcoming California Spiny Lobster Season. There is a difference in flavor and texture from the Maine variety. Both are great examples of the joy of fresh domestic seafood properly prepared. Spiny’s are incredible split in half and grilled on an open flame. That’s definitely some good eating!

Andrew Gruel’s Family Cookbook is available with signed copies at his Calico Fish House on Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach.
