Our first night in town we ate at Fish, on King Street. They specialize in local, seasonal seafood with fresh herbs. Here are a few things we had:
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES - spicy red sesame aioli
SHRIMP TEMPURA - veggies, sweet and sour blood orange
GROUPER - stewed okra, plantation rice, black eyed pea relish
But the absolute best part of the meal and one of the best wines I've ever had was the Tempranillo, Multus "Crianza" - Rioja 2001. It was great. Light with a full flavor, went down smooth. Seek it out.
On Saturday night, we went to Coast on John Street, another fabulous meal! By the way, Tonisha gets mad props for these restaurant recommendations.
This is the Lobster tail poached in butter with a balsamic hollandaise sauce (we ordered two!) I talked my dad into trying the ALBARINO, VIONTA, RIAS BAIXAS, '04. I love an albarino, it's a spicy white wine. Yum!
