Louisiana seafood king shares best ways to prepare the catch of the day
Chef Tenney Flynn stood in the hot kitchen at Kyma in Buckhead, cooking his favorite preparation of rainbow trout, one in which salty Virginia country ham, briny oysters and herbaceous Swiss chard add multidimensional flavor to the mild, farm-raised fish.
His veteran hands never seemed to leave the skillet as he quickly wilted the greens, browned the ham and got the oysters curling. It took but a few minutes to sauté the trout fillets. Suddenly the whole ensemble was plated and Flynn was drizzling it with browned butter.
Next up was a fried oyster slaw dog on Flynn's special Sally Lunn roll. That po'boy also took just minutes to make, being he had at the ready his flour mix, egg wash and cornmeal blend for dredging the oysters. He'd prepared the coleslaw and buns in advance, too. It was just a matter of frying oysters and whipping up a hot Tabasco butter sauce to toss them in.
Someone approached to pick up the slaw-topped oyster po'boy and hand it to a photographer. Was it ready, Chef?
"If it wasn't ready, I wouldn't have (expletive) handed it to you," Flynn replied.

While folks made a fuss over the photogenic versions of the food, Flynn dug his fingers into the extra portion of trout he'd made for the two of us. "This is how we eat it," he said.
At that moment, everything began to make sense about this stubborn Stone Mountain native, his deliberate ways in the kitchen and his newly released cookbook, "The Deep End of Flavor: Recipes and Stories from New Orleans' Premier Seafood Chef" (Gibbs Smith, $30), written with former AJC food editor Susan Puckett.
Cooking has been part of Flynn's life since his father opened the now defunct Plantation House eatery in Stone Mountain in 1962. In the mid-1970s, Flynn worked on and off at Manuel's Tavern, then bounced around for a while (at one point even making a living as a professional bingo caller). Focus came in 1985, when, at the age of 27, he enrolled in the esteemed Culinary Institute of America in New York.
Upon graduation, he returned to Atlanta and joined the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. His seven-year stint with the group began at the iconic Pano's & Paul's. "There's a restaurant that's going to totally change Atlanta," he told himself at the time.
"He was a great teacher that summer," said Kyma executive chef and Buckhead Life corporate chef Pano Karatassos, who was 16 when his father, the legendary Atlanta restaurateur Pano I. Karatassos, threw him on the line with Flynn at Pano's & Paul's.
After that, Flynn headed to the group's Atlanta Fish Market. "I'd never had that quality and variety of fish before. It was quite an epiphany," Flynn said.
When the company launched Chops steakhouse, Flynn was tapped as executive chef and spent three years there before moving to New Orleans in 1992 to become the director of culinary operations for Ruth's Chris Steak House. In 2001, he opened his own place: GW Fins, "a fish house on a classic steakhouse frame."

In the 18 years since unlocking doors to GW Fins, Flynn has become known as one of the country's foremost seafood authorities. He shares that knowledge in "The Deep End of Flavor."
His 200-plus page, technique-focused cookbook is teeming with recipes — and not just for fish and seafood, which Flynn calls "the quickest protein to prepare." There are also recipes for side dishes, and sound advice for home cooks about shopping for and preparing the catch of the day.
It's guidance that comes from a highly picky chef. "We reject fish a lot — even from the same people we've been buying from forever," Flynn said.
Among his recommendations: "Don't be wedded to any particular fish. Go to the fish market. Develop a relationship with the person behind the counter. Get the best fish in the case."
Flynn also feels strongly about buying U.S. product. "There is a lot of dodgy imported seafood," he said. "The more local, the better."
"The Deep End of Flavor: Recipes and Stories from New Orleans' Premier Seafood Chef," by Tenney Flynn with Susan Puckett (Gibbs Smith, $30).
His pantry basics are just salt, pepper, butter and lemon. What makes it New Orleans-style? "Layers of flavor," he said. "It's not that hard to achieve." Especially when you've got Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends Shrimp Magic, or Flynn's homemade riff, in your back pocket.

Rainbow Trout with Swiss Chard, Oysters and Country Ham
For this trout preparation, bits of salty, smoky country ham pull together the flavors of the mild, quick-cooking fish, oysters and chard.
Shrimp Sauteed in BBQ Butter
"Calling this dish BBQ only makes sense in New Orleans — there's nothing barbecued about it, but that's its name here," writes chef Tenney Flynn in his new cookbook, "The Deep End of Flavor." At his New Orleans restaurant, Fins, he serves the shrimp over grits enriched with goat cheese (find his Goat Cheese Grits recipe online at ajc.com/food), along with bread for dipping. The dish can also be served atop rice. "The flavors are big, and the aroma will have everyone heading to the kitchen," Flynn says.
Home Creole Seasoning
This recipe is Flynn's approximation of Paul Prudhomme's Shrimp Magic, his favorite commercially made Creole seasoning. Use the blend with shrimp and crawfish boil preparations, as well as for seasoned fish breading.
Goat Cheese Grits
Tenney Flynn has strong opinions about everything, including grits. "Misguided folk sometimes label exotic, coarsely ground meal as grits, and there is nothing wrong with cornmeal mush, either alone or as an ingredient in polenta, but far as I'm concerned it ain't grits. (Remember, I'm from Georgia.)," writes Flynn in his cookbook. "Buy the old-fashioned long-cook variety and spend the 20 minutes or so it takes to cook them," he says.

Police Ask Rape Victims To Hand Over Phones—Are These 'Digital Strip Searches' Necessary?
Thomas Brewster Forbes Staff
Associate editor at Forbes, covering cybercrime, privacy, security and surveillance.
British police are asking people who report a crime for access to their phones. Activists and an ... [+] ex-police officer don't think that's always necessary. Photographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg

Cops in the U.K. are asking victims of crimes, including those who allege rape, to hand over their phones for investigation or risk seeing their case dropped.
The requests will be made via consent forms that are being rolled out across forces in the U.K. The forms tell complainants that they can refuse to hand over their device, but it adds that refusing access could mean the end of the investigation or prosecution.
The U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the searches would only be requested when it fit within a "reasonable line of enquiry." But privacy groups are raising the alarm about the potential for unnecessary invasions of people's digital lives.
"It is important for both victims and suspects that investigations are fair, proportionate and timely. However, these excessive digital trawls are simply a knee-jerk response that further delay and obstruct justice," said Griff Ferris, legal and policy officer at Big Brother Watch.
"The CPS is insisting on digital strip searches of victims that are unnecessary and violate their rights."
The Centre for Women's Justice is now reportedly working with two women on a legal challenge after they were asked to pass over their devices to the authorities.
Other lines of enquiry
Given the myriad methods police can gather data relevant to an investigation, the demand to have the physical device initially appears unnecessary. Much of the information on your phone is stored by tech providers, who are required by law (similar in the U.K. and the U.S.) to hand over data when a warrant has been signed off in court.
All major tech companies have established procedures allowing police to ask for relevant case information. Whether approaching tech giants like Apple, Google and Microsoft or local service providers like BT, police make frequent data requests. That could include demands for call records, text messages, email content, locations and browsing history.
The legal process, whereby a judge will sign off any request, should weed out the overly broad from the acceptable. As Forbes recently revealed, tech companies can fight back where there's obvious overreach, such as the case of one government asking for the names and addresses for 58 million users of a single app.
Troels Oerting, a lifelong police officer and former head of cybercrime at Europol, said that police will use many techniques to get the relevant data, but in some cases it was much easier and quicker to get information directly from a victim. But it shouldn't be mandatory, he said. Only after an initial investigation revealed that there was a need to see the victim's phone—such as when the accused provided messages indicating their innocence—should a request be made.
"That's different to saying you need to provide us with all evidence before we investigate," Oerting told Forbes. He warned of the potential for deterring victims from coming forward, adding, "I wouldn't start by mistrusting the girl. ... We should not in any way support a culture where the male is superior."
If the victim does willingly hand over their device, it's then a case of handling and analyzing the evidence correctly. Reports have cited a previous investigation as providing impetus for the new forms in which a British student, Liam Allan, was accused of rape. The charges were dropped after it emerged police had missed key evidence from a stash of 57,000 messages on the alleged victim's mobile. London's Metropolitan Police was forced into giving Allan an apology.
In that case, the police had access to the alleged victim's phone and the messages within. Rather than provide impetus for additional access to victims' devices, that investigation indicated that even when the police have all the evidence they need, sometimes they don't use it effectively.

ONE Championship: Hero's Dream event was held on Friday November 3 at Thuwunna Stadium.
The Burmese Python" Aung La N Sang of Myanmar Vs Muay Thai heavyweight world champion Alain "The Panther" Ngalani of Hong Kong!
The nation of Myanmar celebrated as its world champion Aung La "Burmese Python" N Sang defied the odds — and two full weight classes — to defeat four-time Muay Thai and Kickboxing heavyweight world champion Alain "The Panther" Ngalani after an epic battle.
The pair faced off in an historic Open Weight Super-Bout, as the ONE Middleweight World Champion stepped up to face a heavy-handed heavyweight contender from Hong Kong in the main event of ONE: HERO'S DREAM in Yangon's Thuwunna Indoor Stadium.
It was a victory for persistence in the face of overwhelming odds, as Myanmar's Aung La N Sang tried three times to force hulking heavyweight Ngalani to submit, finally succeeding on his third attempt.
The victory sent the crowd inside the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium into raptures, as Myanmar's first and only world champion overcame the odds to score a stunning win on an unforgettable night in Yangon.
Aung La N Sang's stunning victory takes his career record to 21-10 (1 No Contest), and both men will now return to their respective weight classes. Ngalani will undoubtedly seek to continue his quest for the ONE Heavyweight World Title, while Aung La N Sang remains steadfast in building a remarkable legacy for himself and his nation in the middleweight division.

Uganda Alliance of Pactients' Organisations (UAPO) is one of the Organisations being supported under the Strengthening Organisations for a United Response to the Cancer Epidemic (SOURCE) Program which is being funded by the American cancer society. UAPO conducted its practicum activity of raising cancer awareness on 26th July 2018 at Kisenyi Health Centre IV, Rubaga, under the theme "Harnessing the communities' voice for cancer prevention". With support from UWOCASO and the Kisenyi Health Centre team, services including screening for breast, cervical and prostate cancers, as well as information on cancer were offered and testimonies from cancer survivors were shared. This was to increase awareness on different cancers and to encourage and give an opportunity to be screened at no cost. A total of 561 people were reached through this program including patients, healthcare providers, care givers and other stakeholders. 253 women were screened with 107 for breast and 146 for cervical cancers. Out of those who screened for cervical cancer 2 women tested positive and were referred to the Uganda Cancer Institute for further management. Only one man was screened for prostate cancer. Join us for a united response against cancer as we create awareness in communities in Uganda!
The second Global NCD Alliance Forum is scheduled for the 9th-11th December, 2017, in Sharjah, UAE. It will provide a prime opportunity to unite and mobilise NCD civil society ahead of the 2018 UN High-level Meeting on NCDs.
UAPO in Partnership with LevMed will launch the LevMed ECG Mobile Kit to improve patients access to early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease. The event will take place on 10th October 2017 at Uganda Heart Institute Mulago National Hospital, Kampala.
On 4th – 5th July 2017, 30 of IAPO's member organizations and stakeholders, representing ten African countries, came together in Entebbe, Uganda, to attend our African Regional Meeting. The meeting culminated in delegates making a united call for a patient-centred African Medicines Agency (AMA), in which patients are meaningfully engaged. The meeting, which was co-hosted by the International Alliance of Patients' Organizations and the Uganda Alliance of Patients' Organizations, saw IAPO members taking part in and actively contributing to a wide range of interactive sessions, workshops, and networking activities. Delegates engaged in lively and fervent discussions around the on-going African Medicines Regulatory Harmonization (AMRH) initiative, exchanging views and perspectives on how African patients can be feasibly and meaningfully involved in the establishment and future development of the African Medicines Agency (AMA), which is set to be launched by the end of 2018.
The Network for Patients held its Annual Meeting in October 2013 at Community Health And Information Network Offices, inviting all the members of the Network for Patients to join us to discuss what the most important issues were for patients. The Annual Meeting was an opportunity to share information with other charities and to discuss the work of the Network for Patients. WHO country representative spoke to the members of the Network for Patients on how to engage with private sector bodies on the Health and Social Care. There was a great turnout of over 80 members and we were particularly pleased to see a lot of new patient groups there, many of whom have agreed to join the Network for Patients as full members.
We looked at the success of the year gone by and planned ahead for 2014. We had a very interesting and productive day and look forward to updating you on the program and advocacy activities decided at the meeting as we progress.
One of our key pledges from the meeting, "access to treatment" focuses on the need for patients to be able to trust UAPO is making sure they are getting access to the best treatment and the best services. Access to information is the best way to make sure this is happening and patient support groups are ideally placed to provide this information.
The community Network for Patients enables health & social care groups to work together on areas of common interest and these are vital. As a united voice, we have a far greater opportunity to influence the matters that are so important to the patients we all exist for .We are therefore delighted to be part of the Network for Patients as it leads on the fight for patient centered health care in Uganda. If we can secure this on behalf of everyone whose life has been, or will be, affected by diseases, it means we are one step closer to ensuring no-one has to suffer in silence of diseases.
