Inside the door, a huge wood boat is draped upside down from the rafters. The catch of the day lay sprawled on slabs of granite and marble and nestled in mounds of ice just waiting for the next diner to order.
We were more than impressed by this guy's skill as he deftly filleted fish after fish. You could tell this wasn't his first day on the job.
Oh yum! I ordered giant pan-seared sea scallops and crab cakes with creamy polenta and arugula. The scallops were the largest I've ever seen and were so tender they practically melted in my mouth like butter.
David across the table from me ordered the Iron Pot Cioppino, a specialty at Pismo's. He said it was good to the last drop as he sopped up every trace of moisture from the sides and bottom of the kettle.
The perfect finale to the night was dessert. I can't remember what this was called, however it was a little bit of heaven. Fried banana bread, candied walnuts dipped in dark chocolate, creamy vanilla ice cream, sauteed bananas, and peanut-butter candy topping with a rich custard drizzle...I can't recommend it enough! If you ever get to go, ask for the banana bread dessert. It's so very good and you'll be so glad you did.
Bon Appétit!
