The Slanted Door, San Francisco

This was my absolute favorite dish at The Slanted Door!  I remember ordering this back in the day when the restaurant was still in its small space on Valencia Street.  I loved it then and I still love it today.  It has such a deep, rich flavor and the catfish is so tender and fall-apart flakey.  The sauce is SO amazing with the caramelized onions.  The catfish slices do have a lot of bones in them so be careful!  I’m used to fish bones, and I actually like that they’re there because they add more flavor to the dish.  Beautiful and delicious!!!
