Grilled broccolini – Kapnos

Grilled broccolini - Kapnos
Mizitha cheese, tomato, kalamata olives, capers. $12
Kapnos, Washington DC

Firstly, I think twelve bucks is a bit much for a few stalks of broccolini. Secondly, their was a fishy flavor to this dish that I really couldn’t place my finger on. It tasted like there was some anchovies or something fermented. I liked the flavor, but there was nothing written on the menu that would point indicate its source.
