osarabaSo I don't know if any of you realized (or care, really) that I have disliked fish for most of my life. With few exceptions like certain shellfish, along with tuna and whitefish.
But recently, beginning with my experience with the delectable salmon at The Supper Club in San Francisco in October, I have become slightly more open to trying more seafood. In most cases (this one being an exception), I have been pleasantly surprised.
In Vienna I decided to be slightly adventurous at an upscale restaurant and try a fish dish, and was again pleasantly surprised. It was quite delicious! (And oh yeah, the fish-wrapped-around-sauerkraut I had for breakfast at one of the hotels was AMAZING!!!!)
And so last night, I went to a place called McCormick & Schmick's over on 52nd & 6th, and again had a yummy experience. (Halibut in a wasabi/sesame/something else sauce, over white rice, with vegetables -- but the swordfish was actually tastier!) But crap, I spent WAY too much. I don't know what I was thinking. =/
Excuse the bad pun (and alliteration), but something has turned the tide for my taste buds! ^^;
Conclusion: I like fish when it's fresh, and cooked well, and from expensive restaurants. How unfortunate for my wallet. I'm not ruling out fish that's cooked well by someone who knows how to cook it how I like it, but I haven't had that yet, so.
