This new kid on the Ossington strip needs a bit of time before I venture back. Service was very slow and the tables are packed in so close together that it's impossible not to eavedrop on your neighbors conversations.
Like it's name suggest - you come here for fresh seafood served tapas style with oyster platters, fresh fish served different ways, and a variety of other sea creatures.
One highlight was the steelehead trout rilette. My good friend Ben was raging about how amazing it was and definitely wanted to see if it was worth the hype. It was presented in a small mason jar, topped with clarified butter for you to spread on your crostini. It was definitely very buttery and creamy and felt very decadent. It was good!.
Also we both are savoury types of people so we couldn't resist and ordered the salty white anchovies which was served on sourdough crostinis. Three of them came out presented very cleanly on a bed fruity gremolata. They were very fresh and salty while the gremolata provided a good balance of sweetness and the crostini was a perfect crunchy texture.
The calamari was breaded with panko and came out hot and flaky and served with a sriracha aioli which was a nice touch of heat!
I was interested in trying the tuna sashimi as you don't really see sashimi preparation outside of a Japanese restaurant and it was done nicely and clean.
Finally off the mains on the menu, we had the butter poached scallops. The portion size was a bit disappointing as only 3 of them were on the plate and they weren't too big. However the french fries were nice and crunchy and salty which was an important element to us.
