Dungeness crab – Oswald

Dungeness crab - Oswald
With avocado, greens (mache), parmesan crisp, pineapple and balsamic reduction. $13
Oswald, Santa Cruz CA

Mmm, this was very tasty! My one complaint was that the whipped avocado and picked crab mixture both had smooth and silky textures. I wish the avocado had been a little more firm to stand up to the crab (and feel less like baby food).

Pan seared barramundi Credo
Seared Asian seabass atop a bed of mache, cubed watermelon and madarin orange wedges.  Garnished with a balsamic reduction and sprouts.

Credo, San Francisco

The bright red, yellow and green colors make this dish visually stunning.  Unfortunately, the overcooked fish was not appealing – the barramundi became dense and tough.  The dish tasted light and fresh, but the flavors didn’t pop as much as the colors.
