Lunch at Seafood Cove # 1

 Tuesday, August 22, 2023

Back to our old favorite. Seafood Cove # 1.  Posters featuring food items on the wall show the rise in prices of food over the past year. Lobster $30 a pound. Peking Duck $45 for the whole duck dish.  

We started out with the customary Sour Spicy soup. I actually ate the entire serving of it. Then onto the entrees.

Salt and Pepper Fried White Fish Fillets. We ordered mild. Fish was very fresh, moist and sweet.  A perfect dish for me.

Beef Chow Fun. Different chef from last time. The pieces of beef were much larger and not overcooked. Served with the Thai style wide noodles.

Pork Peking Style. Pieces of pork with the bone, deep fried and a spicy sauce. This dish I did not try. Did not want to push my luck. Maybe next time. I have had it in the past and really like it but have a tendency to eat too much of it because it is so good. 

Rounded out lunch with a dessert of warm Green Bean Tapioca with Dried Dates and Seaweed.  Interesting and good.

3 bottles of wine today.  

2003 Roth Estate, Alexander Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon. Very low keyed and mellow. Light weight Cab. Drinking quite well.

2013 Tercero, Larner Vineyard, Grenache.  Typical grenache, always good from the Larner Vineyard. Showing quite well. I have leftovers for the rest of the week.

Michael David, Petite Petit from Lodi Always an interesting wine. Petite Syrah and Petite Verdot. Went well with the food.
