Smorrebrod trio - Bar Tartine
Open-faced sprouted rye bread sandwiches. Rainbow trout with green walnut, beet and rabe. Beef tartare with tonnato sauce and bottarga. Kale with sunflower tahini and yoghurt. $18
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA

The rainbow trout smorrebrod was definitely my favorite! The beef tartare was definitely overpowered by all the bottarga shavings on top, and the kale tahini smorrebrod was kinda boring (definitely doesn’t deserve to be on a foodie list).

Pearl couscous cacciucco - Zare at Fly Trap
Prawns, dungeness crab, baby octopus, calamari, clams, mussels, sumac aioli. $30
Zare at Fly Trap, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this was delicious! I’ve never had the combination of pearl couscous with seafood, but it was great. The seafood was cooked nicely and the texture of the couscous was fun. The bowl was certainly warm and comforting.

Fish and chips - Fishetarian
Fresh rock cod dipped in traditional beer batter and rolled in Panko crust, fried in canola oil. Served with house tarter sauce. Three piece $14
Fishetarian, Bodega Bay CA

These fried fish were tasty and very large (a great value), but they were actually pretty greasy (boo)! The fries weren’t greasy though, thank goodness.

Carol's famous clam chowder - Spud Point Crab Company
Voted best clam chowder 11 years in a row. $6.75
Spud Point Crab Company, Bodega Bay CA

OMFG, this was probably one of the best clam chowders I’ve ever eaten! It’s no joke, this was frickin’ amazing. It was smokey, flavorful, and packed with clams and other ingredients. I loved it’s medium texture, and I could have eaten a vat-full. NOMS!

Super carnitas dorado burrito – La Taqueria

Super carnitas dorado burrito - La Taqueria
Sour cream, cheese, avocado, beans, pico de gallo. $8.95
La Taqueria, San Francisco

This was messy and really tasty! I do think that having the burrito lightly grilled made all the difference. Trying to order and find a seat at this place during a weekend dinner was insane though. I don’t think a burrito is worth that madness.

Crispy fried chicken sandwich - Marlowe
Caesar aioli, bacon and field greens. $15
Marlowe, San Francisco CA

I thought the chicken sandwich was delicious, but the side salad was WAY over-dressed! The chicken tasted great and was perfectly fried, but it was the caesar aioli that really got my attention. This made for a great lunch! 🙂

Smoked potatoes with black garlic - Bar Tartine
Herbs and flavored mayo. $9
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA

Omg, these potatoes were frickin’ amazing! The black garlic sauce was to die for and combined with the smokey flavor of the potatoes – I’m dying. The mayo dip was also super delicious. We actually couldn’t finish all our food during brunch, but I made it a point to get the leftover potatoes packed to-go, lol!

Grilled stuffed calamari - Zare at Fly Trap
Chorizo sausage stuffing, tomatillo emulsion. $13
Zare at Fly Trap, San Francisco CA

I thought that this plate was pretty, but there wasn’t much food on it. It was really just one squid with some different sauces splashed on. Nevertheless, the squid was nicely cooked and tasty.
