Dale,
Miso-glazed black cod is one of my all-time favorite seafood dishes.
Am I to take it that Nobu is credited with its creation? I ask because
I first encountered it at the San Francisco restaurant Hawthorne Lane
back in the late-'90s. Was Nobu already making it at that time?

It sounds like a great night. David is lucky to get such treatment for
his 18th (and he sounds like the kind of teenager who could enjoy it).
