今日は10月にオープンしたばかりの Island Creek Oyster Bar へ行ってきました! Today we went to Island Creek Oyster Bar, which just opened last month. |
お店はかなり広く、モダンなデザイン。 The restaurant is very spacious and has the sleek and modern decorations. |
このパンはおいしい。バターは蜂蜜が入っているのかちょっと甘くて癖になる味。まずまずの滑り出しです。 This bread met our expectation! The butter had a hint of sweetness from honey that was added to it. So far so good. |
ワインは先週解禁されたばかりのボジョレーヌーボー。 We ordered Beaujolais Nouveau that just arrived last week. |
ここに来たからには生牡蠣を注文しないわけには行きません。メニューには12種類の牡蠣がありましたが今回は地元マサチューセッツで採れた Island Creek, Moon Shoal と Wellfleet を4つずつ注文。これがと~ってもおいしい~。全く臭みがなく、でも濃厚な味わいで海水の塩辛さとマッチして最高。この間ニューオーリンズで食べた牡蠣よりもおいしいと思います。私はちょっと甘みのある Island Creek が気に入りました。 At first, of course we ordered raw oysters. There were 12 different kinds of oysters in their menu, but tonight we selected Island Creek, Moon Shoal and Wellfleet, all of which were harvested here in Massachusetts. They were amazingly good! They had no fishy smells, but very rich flavor and matched very well with saltiness of sea water inside the shells. I think these were better than those we had in New Orleans. My favorite among three was Island Creek. |
これは鱈の頬肉のフライ。鱈の身が脂がのっていてかなりいけます。 This is "crispy cod cheeks". The meat was very fatty and moist. I can give it a high score. |
フライドポテトも注文。これだけでかなりおなか一杯になりました。 We also ordered fries. We were quite stuffed after eating all of these dishes. |
とは言いつつも、デザートはやっぱりはずせません。サイダードーナツを2人でシェア。キャラメルソースとアップルサイダーが付いてきました。シンプルだけどおいしい。このレストランはノースエンドにある Neptune Oyster という人気のレストランに匹敵すると思います。でもこちらのほうがスペースも広く、予約も受け付けてくれるので利用しやすいかも。これからも利用したいレストランです。 The dessert was "cider donuts" which came with the caramel sauce and apple cider. Simple, but tasty. I think this restaurant is as good as Neptune Oyster in North End. But this one may be more convenient as it has much wider space and also accepts reservations. We'll definitely come back to this restaurant! |
