I'll take fresh fish over historical accuracy any day. But, if you're a
real oyster fan make sure you ask about the provenance of the day's
oysters. I suggested broiled fish because they do it so well there
without mucking it up with bizarre sauces etc. White sea bass (from
California) and local petrale sole are also excellent. Try and eat local
here.
