I've had it and the texture just doesn't appeal to me. The meat is very sweet but the texture is just weird.

for some reason i really want to try raw chicken now...

TR will ensue....

aww man, I forget how fish tacos aren't really a staple item elsewhere in the country. But yeha, fish tacos are really good. Was the fish fried or grilled?

breaded and pan fried... the actual fish could have been better imo. nothing flashy about it... when i try it im going to use crab and chopped shrimp.

seafood > fish

sorry fish.

The Latest Kevineats entry is pretty good. He eats at M Voltaggio's place and runs in to Chad Brown and Vanessa Rousso.

Arent you supposed to give a link or something?

This is making me queasy just thinking about it. The raw chicken thing on Food network was Japan too. I saw it as well and just about hurled watching it.

For the record, I am lurking and enjoying all of this stuff!

I had two fish tacos and a dozen steamed clams for lunch, with two Tecates. The fish was lightly fried grouper, with mango, lettuce, and a little remoulade. The clams were a REAL treat: steamers. If you haven't had real steamers, they are soft shell clams with a black neck that comes out, served with a side of the steaming liquid and also butter (but I prefer the jus). Hand cut fries and homemade baked beans on the side.

It would have been hard to feel much better than I did when I was having lunch today.

I am a winner at life.

At least I was for about an hour, earlier today.

P.S. I just made patty melts for dinner, and they were absolutely awesome. I used really dark pumpernickel, and I added pickles, and it was sublime. My fiance had never had one before, and she couldn't get over how much she loved it.

im totally expecting some fresh caught fish pics this summer.


lolz Rush your lunch sounds a better than mine

There is something good that results between the combination of Mexican beer and fresh seafood.

you're doing it wrong imo.

never been a big fan of Japanese beer for some reason. If I'm having Japanese food, specifically seafood, I like to drink Champagne.

thats really nice too....im just a sucker for a cold sapporo when im doing sushi.

Do you prefer steamers to mussels?

Love them both, but I prefer steamers. Easiest dish to make!

I don't know where you live, but that picture is from Massachusetts. Here is where I got it from, it's a pretty great food blog (that also does Top Chef rankings that are pretty excellent).

He traveled around Mass trying to find the perfect lobster roll. Check the archives, there are a bunch of really cool things he's done.

You might want to invest in a pizza pan. (joke)

so i'll point out the elephant in the room i guess....cookie...whats up with the weird shaped pizzas? You got something against circles?

your weird shaped pizza looks delicious.

It's this season's artisanal look. Very fashionable, very individual.

I assume it's about getting to the right thickness.


btw: Slow roasted crispy pork belly = (sorry, no pics; rellies stole our camera for their holiday here). Gonna do it again...'cept the wifie puts up complaints about something called calleries (sp??)

Very much so, and it is a very reasonable comparison.

But yes, steamers all day long for me.

I grew up in New England so I pretty much love all seafood. Growing up I preferred mussels to steamers but now that I've been in Vegas for a year and I haven't seen a steamer I feel like I'd rather have big bowl of them.

I just roll it out as thin as possible to whatever shape. I should obviously learn to throw it in the air and get it thin and circular that way.
