Took a day off from shooting season 14 of “Sara’s Weeknight Meals,” to go to a lovely little fishing village, Marsaxlok, on Malta, that had these wonderful colorful boats floating everywhere in the harbor. I got to see a local chef cut up a whole swordfish and sampled the best octopus I have ever tasted. Their secret? Slow steaming the octopus for 12 hours before cutting it up and sauteeing it, and what appeared to be a lifetime amount of butter (Julia would have been so happy).
