SQUID'S

We tried to find a new restaurant. We went to a seafood restaurant which I had made a note of a while ago. The restaurant has oysters, which are my favourite seafood. I knew there was an oyster happy hour (from 4 to 6:30 pm) when oysters are half price. I didn't know it also was on weekends. When we went there, it was crowded because it was the end of the happy hour. Of course, I ordered 1 dz oysters, but we missed out on the happy hour. The oysters tasted weak, but I still enjoyed them. There were a variety of toppings such as lemon, ketchup, horseradish and Tabasco. My favourite is lemon and Tabasco.


My husband ordered "Grilled Trout Modena Balsamic marinated boneless trout with honeyed pecans and lemon butter, served with herbed polenta and a sauté of spinach, tomato, and garlic" ( yes, it is a very long name.)

The trout was tender and the tomato garlic sauce was quite delicious. The polenta went well with the dish.


I ordered "Pan Seared Salmon with black beans, fresh guacamole, crisp tortillas, roasted squash, and spicy tomato chipotle sauce".

It wasn't as good as I expected, but I ate the oyster so I was quite satisfied with my dinner. They also have lobster and shrimp so we will come back another time.



To finish, we ordered chocolate silk pie. I wondered if it really was a pie because it didn't have a crust. Somehow it tasted like water. Not so good. Maybe next time we will try the creme brulee.





Unfortunately, we haven't found the best seafood restaurant because they adulterate the taste of the fish. It looks like it will be difficult to find a restaurant that uses delicate seasoning.
