Cuisine by Chow

From page 27

ing tor something more
land-locked from Chow's
kitchen.
But the sampled seatood
entrees were standouts.
The Chilean Sea bass
was served beneath a won-
| derfally light and crisp
canopy of grated and tried
potato topped with a gar-
nish of fish roe.
it rested on a bed of
wilted spinach and was fin-
ished in a rich butter- based
sauce of rockshrimp and
shiitake mushroom caps.
Quibbles here: the sauce
was somewhat salty and a
touch too heavy for what is
already a very rich fish
meat.
On the other side of the

table, the order of Sauteed
Prawntails was served with
a saffron risotto spiced with
chorizo sausage and bol-
siered with fresh mussels
and clams — an astute
combination of simply pre-
pared seafood and Italian
gastronomic brio.

Be sure to leave room
for dessert. A day at the
Beach would not be com-
plete without it.

The sampled Lemon
Meringue, for example, was
a towering wedge of bil-
lowy meringue and rich
lemon pudding artistically
framed in a raspberry
coulis.
