CrawDaddy’s Opens:
They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, so I guess since a second Crawfish Restaurant has opened in the former location of Jamillah Garden, just a block or so away, Crab Hut must be a smashing success.
Unfortunately for me, on the day I visited they were closed. So I’ll visit on another day. For those interested here’s the posted menu:
The address is:
4681 Convoy St
San Diego, CA 92111.
Here’s another restaurant that I just noticed during my last visit to Ba Ren.
Not quite sure what to make of it……
Bud’s Louisiana Food Shoppe Closes:
Last week, I was in the Little Italy area, and noticed that the sign for Bud’s Louisiana Food Shoppe had been covered in tarp. Here’s the sign posted in the window:
The good news is they’re looking for a new location, so I hope they find one soon. More info by Gil on What We Dig. Here’s what’s opening up in the spot.
A burger place….next to the Waterfront Bar & Grill?
It’s Sanma Season….or at least that’s what it seems like. I don’t remember the last time I had Sanma Shioyaki (salt grilled Sanma). For those who don’t know what Sanma is; it is Pacific Saury, more commonly called Mackerel Pike.
Though I’ve never developed a taste for the intestines, I love simple salt-grilled Sanma. Good oils, great flavor, the oceany skin….. So your trusty neighborhood sushi place should have, or be able to get Sanma. This one is from Sammy’s.
One of these days soon, I’d like to try my hand at this:
I’ve been seeing raw monkfish liver, otherwise known as Ankimo at a few Japanese Markets, and it seems a pretty easy thing to make.
Still, I would feel really bad if I screwed it up….if you’ve had bad Ankimo, you’d know what I mean! But, good Ankimo! Sigh…… The Missus calls it a cross between the best salmon pate and crab eggs. Maybe….just maybe….
I hope everyone’s having a great week! More restaurants tomorrow!
