Fried Seafood at California Fish Grill

High quality seafood should never be fried. But that doesn't mean fried seafood isn't good.

Last weekend, I felt like eating a textured meal. So I ordered the fish and scallop fryer combo at California Fish Grill. In terms of flavor, I found them to be essentially tasteless without the tartar and cocktail sauce. And I wished the batter had been seasoned with a secret blend of herbs and spices like KFC's original recipe. But I did enjoy the flakiness of the fish and the soft-yet-chewy texture of the scallops. Not bad for $9.

Let it be known that California Fish Grill offers much more than just fried food. Next time, I'm getting the charbroiled fish, shrimp tacos, and clam chowder.

Valhalla Table: Gourmet Sausages

Wild Boar Balinese & Belgian Fries.

I am king.

I don't care much for Pink's Hot Dogs. The novelty of waiting in-line for a bologna hot dog all the way in Los Angeles has gone.

I do, however, enjoy gourmet finger foods. When my friend referred me to Valhalla Table in Costa Mesa, I thought I'd come out of beer retirement for the full experience.

Valhalla Table boasts a unique assortment of gourmet sausages such as Spicy Cajun Andouillle, Chimichurri Lamb & Feta, and Wild Boar Balinese. You can also grab a burger or customize a salad, but sadly, you'd be missing the point of coming here.
