Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent, and today I start my attempt to eat more fish. So my husband and I headed to Big Al's for dinner. First time here and it's the basket ball tournament so this place is busy!
We started with some yummy steamed clams and crab cakes as appetizers. The bowl of clams, I think are usually an entree, they were steamed in white wine and just a little bit of butter, not the best clams I've had. Now the crab cakes came with a creole mustard sauce, had some nice crab meat flavor, not a lot of filler, just a hint of breading.
I also tried a bowl of Clam Chowder, it was very creamy and full of clams! I then got a pan roast for my entree, I tried the combination. It was shrimp and crab served on rice pilaf. It was the creamy lobster tomato sauce that made the dish. I was stuffed and had no room to try a desert.
This meal was very satisfying and I know I'll be back to try other items on the menu, Lent or not!
