Crunchy bouncy orangey

[jay]

More culinary study tonight, with a lovely instructor ;-). This was my final chance to experiment in familiar settings with English-speaking staff likely to be present... I tried more new things. The bright orange flying-fish roe was the strangest... octopus was a bit rubbery, but with good flavor... scallops were light and delicate, almost overwhelmed by other flavors. And I like the dark red tuna much more than the pale white kind, with yellowfin falling in-between. And slightly sweeter sake (grin). I brought the rest of the sake and the safe items (California roll pieces, tempura) home for patgreene. And my dinner companion received a yellow rose, from the restaurant ;-).

My life certainly doesn't scrape, either! (smile)

did you end up at Kamakura in alameda?
meaghan loves tobiko (flying fish roe). she called it crunch-crunch for years because i didn't think she would continue to eat it if she really knew what it was called!

Yes, and thanks for the recommendation! The orange crunchy fish roe... that was an experience. Not something I'd normally put in my mouth ;-).
