RECIPE

Heat Olive Oil in a 10-12” fry pan until hot. Add finely chopped (I use a food processor), garlic, white onion, and celery. Add basil, oregano, salt and black pepper and sauté until all contents are soft. Add ¼ stick of butter and blend until melted. Add the Lump Crabmeat and mix thoroughly with the contents. Add breadcrumbs to the mix but be careful not to over power. Once all ingredients are mixed, add the fresh shaved parmesan cheese and mix until melted into the stuffing. Set stuffing aside.

Get the Fresh Tomatoes and cut into cubes. If fresh tomatoes are not available, use 1 can of chopped or crushed tomatoes in Puree. Heat a sauce pan with ¼ Cup Olive Oil and add one clove of chopped garlic, dried Italian Seasoning, Salt and Pepper. Add the fresh or canned tomatoes to the pan and bring to a high boil. Once the tomatoes are boiling, lower the heat and reduce for about 20 minutes to obtain a nice rich sauce.

Stuff the Calamari tubes with the Crab Stuffing all the way to the end. Secure the Calamari Tubes with two toothpicks crossed so the stuffing does not seep out. Place all four tubes in a baking dish; add the tomato sauce and bake fully covered for 25 minutes at 360 degrees. Remove from baking dish put two tubes per plate. Pour tomato sauce from the baking dish over Calamari, and garnish with Hot Crushed Red Pepper (Optional) Fresh Parsley and Fresh Shaved Parmesan. (BE SURE TO REMOVE TOOTHPICKS BEFORE SERVING)

NOTE: I am used to making this recipe for 10-12 persons, so slight adjustments may have to be made to the ingredient amounts and seasoned to taste.

Joe is one of the most knowledgeable and personable guides I have ever experienced. From helping our entire group with travel arrangements to the equipment needed to making sure that everyone had a great experience. I could never have done this trip without his guidance. My only negative is he out fished me, by a lot!!! Gene DeVitis

I recently went on a 10 day fly fishing trip to Patagonia arranged by Joe. It was the best, most organized trip I have ever experienced. Joe and the lodge at lake Rosario were very accommodating along with outstanding food. The guides and helpers were some of the nicest people in the world. I cannot say enough nice things about my time. I highly recommend Joe for any hunt, fish or relaxing trips. You won't be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of traveling with Joe to Cala Mia Resort in Panama. From the gathering information stage to touching down in Panama, Joe made the process easy. He was informative on the pricing, setting expectations of what to expect and the planning of all logistics, including planes, busses, cars and boats. The resort itself was a pinch me life moment. Traveling an hour from David to the boat ramp, then taking a boat to the island just built the excitement levels. Our group took 2 boats to the island where we were welcomed by the owner of the resort and his wonderful crew. We were taken care of every moment with food, drinks and wonderful smiles. I was able to take advantage of scuba diving and fishing 3 days. The crew worked hard to ensure that we were on the fish and were having a wonderful experience. At the beginning, middle, and end, Joe Rossi made sure all his clients were having the best time possible and all expectations were met. I hope to have the opportunity to enjoy another fishing adventure with Joe from Wildside.

My wife and I recently took a trip with Wildside to Panama for deep sea fishing, and it was absolutely amazing. Wildside arranged everything from travel between Panama City to the Resort to then putting us on the fish. The resort was beyond expectations as was the food. This was easily one of the best trips we have taken, and we will definitely take many more journeys with Wildside.
