(Sample photo from the blue camera.)
I have a story about this weekend. It started with a 2 GB memory card I got for free from some nerdstore grand opening last year. I put it in my pink Canon so the blue Panasonic could have a faster card. Mistake 1, using a crappy slow memory card I got for free. So this weekend, carrying only my pink Canon with the crappy slow memory card, I went to Blacksalt for dinner. Mistake 2, not stealing parents camera sooner. I planned to take photos of this important event one delicious bite at a time. But before the food came out, the memory card broke! NooOOoo!! All my photos from the beginning of that evening wiped out and my camera was useless. So I have nothing to show for that wonderful dinner except this business card. Incidentally, I picked up the wrong business card. Black Market is another restaurant of the same owners.
Talking about a restaurant is kind of incomplete without pictures. Nevertheless, I’m going to try because the food at Blacksalt was quite yummy and I’d recommend others to try it. Of course, we started with oysters on the half shell. Again, it almost goes without saying that this was the best part of the meal even though I still can’t do a lot of oysters (still trying to get used to the look and slurp of it). The standard oysters were even tastier than their fancies. Go fig. Next we had Bigeye Tuna Tartare. I don’t generally eat tuna but this was excellent. The tuna was melt in your mouth and it sat atop a bed of sushi rice patty which was crispy on the outside. The baby octopus and seared scallops were also good, cooked just-right tender, but my next favorite dish was Addie’s mussels. Oh wait, I think the scallops were better. That sauce was drinkable. The nice thing about all their dishes is, they have such wonderful sauces to sop up with the bread. Unfortunately, you also end up filling up on bread if you’re not careful. I wound up using a spoon for most of dinner because I wanted to get the sauce with everything. The skate wing was ok but geez by then we were so ridiculously stuffed it was like law of diminishing returns. No matter how full though – dessert. Flourless chocolate cake. Key Lime pie. Tiramisu. Yum. Yum. Yum. You jiggle a little in your seat to make room in your belly for these mini treats in their tasting dessert.
Oh the moral: Bring extra camera. Or bring extra memory card. Or don’t use a crappy memory card. And go eat at Blacksalt.
