Dishes mentioned
Salish Sampler Platter
I start with the Salish sampler platter. The oysters are incredibly fresh and creamy — firm from being tumbled by Pacific waves, with a salty sea hit that goes sweet and finishes like cucumber. The smoked mussels are amazing on toast, tasting like smoked mackerel. The crab is fresh but I'm terrible at eating it, and the geoduck sashimi is one of the freshest things I've ever tasted.
Scallop Gazpacho
The scallop gazpacho is a cross between ceviche and gazpacho, incredibly fresh — one of the freshest things I've ever had.
Paella
The paella is so savory. The prawns are monstrous, meaty and garlicky. The octopus is gorgeous. I love it.
