We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary by including a dinner meal at the Flying Fish (Boardwalk).
This was our third meal at Flying Fish. Our other two meals were over a year ago.
As expected, we had a superb meal and service.
I made PS for 6:00. But easily switched them to 5:30 at the check in area at the Flying Fish. (They opened at 5:30.)
It was pouring rain yesterday, and they did not even seem to start getting busy until about the time we left. And even then there was plenty of seating. I think the heavy and constant rains may have slowed their evening a bit.
The CM seating us spoke a little chit chat on the way to the table. She asked where we were from. I said the city (local) and that we were here to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. And of course she congradulated us.
We each had an appetizer.
Me: Selection of Artisan Cheeses, with itsy bitsy white raisins. This also come with several slices of a hard but tasty bread -- walnut-levain, and a teaspoon of the best honey/honey comb I have ever eaten. ($14)
I shared the cheeses with DH.
DH: New England Clam Chowder. ($8)
There wasn't much cheese for $14. But it was very good and satisfying. Just don't order it and think you will have a platter piled high with cheese that will feed a large party. It came on a large platter, but little cheese portions.
Main course ~
Me: Wood Fired Wahoo. (Morel & Chanterelle Mushroom Riscotto, Fava Beans, Sherry Vinega Jus, with a touch of parmesan cheese. $32
DH: Sauteed Triple Tail. Boniato Sweet Potato Puree, Escabeche Vegetables, Crispy Plantain Chips. $28
The Wahoo was a very dense, dry, white fish. Heavier texture than most fish. The waitress said the chefs usually do not cook it completely done, as it dries out so easily due to low fat content. (And she compared the texture to swordfish.)
I like any meat well done -- and rather have charbroiled than undercooked, and let her know that.
The fish was cooked perfect! VERY yummy. I could taste the wood fire cook method. I couldn't really taste the vinegar, and not really what I call Jus at the bottom of the dish. But it was so yummy and perfect.
The fava beans were very green. They looked and tasted like fresh off the vine lima beans.
The Triple Tail was from the warm waters off the FL Keys. It was a very flaky, fall apart fish. Very flavorrful the way it was prepared. It was truly a delicacy.
We tasted a little of each other's fish. It was a real toss up which was better. DH liked his best. His had more of a fruity tangy taste than mine.
The plantain chips were two VERY thin, oblong, chips standing upright in his food.
Both dishes were very good. And mine was so filling I could not eat all of it. Almost, and I tried. But not quite...
Just ice teas to drink. And even good ice teas.
The CM waitress suggested a chocolate souffle to end with, and mentioned it took 25 minutes to cook. We were way to full for anything like that.
Then she brought in a small dish of creme bruelle for us to share.
It was served in a one serving dish on a large platter. In liquid chocolate was written Happy Anniversary (with the "i" dotted with the three familiar circles).
It was not heavy like most creme bruelle. It was very light and fluffy.
This is not on their menu. We think she brought it over from Spoodles.
This was a terrific touch!
Another Big Thumbs Up to Flying Fish. They are pricey, but there food is oh so good!
