My first trip to Peche (W/ pics)

Definitely lived up to expectations. I had a 6:00 Saturday reservation that I had made on Tuesday. Some poor sap walked in before me and asked for a table. "I won't have a table available for four hours, but if you wait you can probably find a seat at the bar in an hour or so." Damn!

Started with Marinated crab claws. Most places seem to have much thicker, more buttery marinade. But that was not the case. Very light type of oil and some subtle flavor underneath it. The mint was a great touch. They were delicious.



My wife ordered a small plate. The crab & jalepeno capellini and a side of White beans with bacon. The beans had a GREAT smoky flavor in them. They almost tasted like BBQ white beans. Were very good. And the capellini was also very good. Lump crab meat and jalepeno tossed in angel hair.



And I went for the special. Cobia Collar. My first time having either Cobia, or a collar, and neither dissapointed. Just slightly more oily than most fish I order, but I wasn't sure if that was a function of the fish or the cheek. Still, the flavor was incredible. I was very impressed with it. The green sauce was just mashed greens. I found it nice for the texture difference, but it didn't do anything (positive or negative) for the flavor of the fish.



We also each had an "Angry Pirate" for a cocktail, and had a very nice walk after dinner. Damn it was good to be home! It's been way too long. Just under $100 and worth every penny.
