I wish there were some other options like different veggies or grains.


My biggest and really only complaint about the place. They usually do have steamed veggies if you ask for them but they REALLY need even just a few more sides.

We have more waste on drum than tuna loins. Drum has the most waste out of any of the fish I currently cut. Other than probably corvina due to the bone structure. The issue with drum now is its tough to find smaller than 14oz filets. So you're looking at 4ish oz per filet.

I'm with you there. I sell plenty of both and frankly I don't like it. Things are slowly coming around though. I try and encourage people to be adventurous in your ordering. Restaurants will respond to that.

Really?? even with the skin, blood line and any trims you need to make?? I'm not doubting you at all, just curious. I've been out of the game for about 6 or so years. But i could def see how larger filets would be a problem.

Why don't you just half them shits into 5 oz portions?? 2 per plate.

What kitchen you cutting these fish in?? If you don't mind me asking.

Lol. Its a necessary evil in BR. I found also that if you explained your dishes in a way that helped them think about the dish a little more. in terms of flavor differentials, textures, temps, etc.

I was just kidding. Looks good. I've never been there, but it is on my list for my next trip home.

Looks good! No dessert?

I also appreciate a nice paced meal. I mean, it's usually some sort of foreplay anyway (when you're on a date).

The bloodline is usually mostly out with the tuna. I guess my fish guy likes me.

I wish it was that easy. My drum average today was probably 16-18oz

A nicer kitchen in BR. If you live in BR I'm sure you've eaten there.

Are you talking about trapanis? I ordered them there few months ago, and thought they were good.
