I'm very fussy when I buy shrimp and have over the years gone out of my way, usually at greater expense to buy Gulf Shrimp. I was recently surprised to learn my shrimpies have no eyes! Oi!:

Yuck!

Annnnnnd just one of the many reasons I rarely eat shellfish.

Cept for that Ciopinno I had at Tadich’s two weeks ago. Best ever and I luv theirs but I don’t order it every time I’m there.

Crazee Croatians serving crustacaens. What a coincidence?

Then again I went to Phils fish market and was wistful for some crab cakes. I had some at a place in Queerhobeth(Rehobeth) Delaware years ago and the were sohhhh good!

Not so last week at this Phil’s Market. I ordered crab cakes and they were woefully soggy and not crisped at all. Didn’t have any real flavor. ONE BITE...

The Clam Chowder? Lame, bland but with a lot of pepper I got 3 or 4 spoons before pushing aside.

The fried zuchinni. Whutevuh! Soggy on the inside.

The Fish and Chips. LOL HTF do you dry out halibut in a panko crust? And the “chips”? Very likely out of a bag. I expected them to be fresh cut and in planks like a 2x4. Oh, and they were room temp.

So I had ordered lobster for my friend and when she popped open the claw the meat was translucent as in not fully cooked. F&*(k that. I don’t eat uncooked shellfish ever but she wanted to get to the knuckle where the tasty part is.

I was starving when we left and won’t be back.

I love Super Taqeria and filled up on some primo Mexican food.

I will never, ever go back to Phil’s Fish Market.

But, I am looking forward to what is always the best Dinner experience at Gary Danko’s next week.

Totally professional and I hope I show and have to wait so they can invite to enjoy a Scotch on them. I usually have two since it’s on them.

You have go if you are ever in San Francisco. Total professionals and they always ensure a great time.
