Personal Choice Blog

This weekend Instead of making food I actually went to a fancy restaurant to try food that I aspire to make. On Friday evening I went to a restaurant in Crockett called "The Dead Fish". Their menu contained everything from crab to pasta to steak. I wouldn't necessarily call it a surf and turf restaurant but it had similar qualities. I saw many people order the steak but seeing as the restaurant was known mainly for it's seafood I weighed all of my options. I saw giant plates of fried calamari being brought out to tables. They had many different options for sea food. I had trouble deciding whether I wanted to try pasta (my usual favorite) or some sort of seafood dish that is unique to the menu. I have been wanting to create a seafood dish for quite some time now, but I have had a difficult time figuring out what sort of dish I want to make.
 I finally decided to order crab fettuccini, figuring that pasta with seafood is something that would be practical for me to try and make. My friend ordered the crab lasagna. I got to try a little bit of both dishes my but dish was the favorite of the evening.
Pasta is one of my favorite foods and anything smothered in garlic and butter sounds like a wise choice to me. The crab tasted extremely fresh, the crab meat was cooked to perfection. It was white with just spots of pink. The noodles were thick and when the bites were paired equally with pasta and crab they made an amazing treat. The crab lasagna my friend ordered was equally as delicious as my own plate. It wasn't typical lasagna composition. The lasagna was a square of compacted angel hair noodles, with crab and lobster mixed with garlic and butter. The top of the lasagna was covered in a "pepper-jack" esque cheese.  My experience at the Dead Fish was definitely an enjoyable one. I plan to make crab and lobster fettuccini for my next personal choice. I think it would be a delicious treat for my family and I.
