What a wonderful day of FOOD on Thursday!! Started out at a new place for us, Sequim Fresh Seafood restaurant. Originally it was to be a Seafood and Smokehouse restaurant, but after they got all their signs up and things in motion, the city told them they were too close to a service station to have their open flames and would have to put out $$$$$$$$ to build some kind of shield. So, they had to rethink and just go with seafood. darn bureaucrats.
Roy had steamed clams with a great flavored broth and we both had Caesars – mine I had them add a ‘few’ calamari for garnish!. Delicious
And then, Coconut Curry Shrimp with Thai sweet chili sauce that was out of this world perfectly flavored with the curry. I’ve been playing with adding curry to my coconut shrimp, but my, did they ever do it up right.
THEN, on to a little gem, Dupee’s, down the road a bit for a 2nd outstanding meal of the day!!
I had pork osso buco and it was wonderful AND humungeous!!
The side dish was called ‘potatoes Dupee’ kind of smashed tatoes made with buttermilk
And I was looking forward to it, but it had an off-putting flavor to it. Turned out we decided it was the dill used to garnish completely took the dish over, so it was just a tangy dill!. Which I’m not that big a fan of. I may play with it because Toni, the owner said it was basil in the dish, but couldn’t taste it at all. Interesting idea.
Anyway, now back to mundane eating……………..
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
