Gone Fishin'

It has been both a cool summer and fall. So with some nice afternoon weather this week, I decided on Wednesday to seek out a location with a patio for dinner. The Fish Store on College was an ideal choice. The tiny eatery can fit 1 table inside, making for a cramp (and smelly) space in winter. But it does have a good-sized patio for the summer. With multiple fish fillet on ice, you can pick your choice of sandwich, tacos, or plate. I ordered the black cod with rice ($13.75) and avocado ($1.50).

The fish came out nicely grilled on a bed of warm brown rice. It had excellent flavour and was not over-cooked. There was an assortment of fresh vegetables. Tasty but I wished they were also grilled like the asparagus; this gave the latter a good smokiness and intensified the flavour. This evening, this spot seemed to be popular for family with kids for a quick take-out or a sit-down meal. But then it's a toss-up whether or not you get the well-behaved ones.
