King’s Fish House, Carlsbad. Rated ★★★☆☆
Oyster sampler, cup of spicy seafood chowder, and maybe the seared tuna. Kind of expensive, just for my little self, but what the heck, few carbs.
The “what’s the darkest beer you have” question stumps a lot of bartenders. They fail (in my judgment) when they tell me anything that has “pale” in the name. Amber is okay, I can drink it; I really prefer stout or nut brown or porter. Not necessarily in that order depending upon the brewery.
The people down the way are from New York area and are talking about Boston Oysters. And celebrating a new job with champagne and oysters (rather than caviar).
“I bought you flowers, and you bought me… meat! You know the way to my heart!”
