Yum. I just landed in California. My first meal was at Phil’s Fish Market. I have to say, it was a great way to start my trip and extended stay in Moss Landing. The halibut tacos were amazing and fresh, from the fish to the salsa to the veggies and the bit of mozzarella cheese. Everything came together nicely to surround the perfectly cooked and halibut.
I also discovered their anticipated feature on the Food Network. Wednesday, January 28th at 9 p.m. Pacific time, Phil’s will be part of Bobby Flay’s Throwdown. The dish for the challenge – Cioppino – a stew of clams, mussels, white fish, calamari, prawns, scallops and dungeness crab. I saw this dish at Phil’s in buckets in a deli case and it made me want to grab a ladle.
Check out the show. I will be sure to check out their Caesar salad and a dish from the artichoke section of their menu. Fresh artichokes prepared seven different ways is not something seen on your typical menu.
I am most happy to be here in Moss Landing by Monterey Bay, about 40 yards from Phil’s. Lucky me.
