Seafood Dinner with 4 Gentleman
The owner of the restaurant asked me if I wanted to come to dinner at the restaurant that had refused me. I said yes, bit U thought he would just get me in and that I would eat by myself. When I arrived, they were waiting for me. I think they had already had one bottle of white wine.
I watched the experts order and show me about the various dishes. I tried the red mullet and it was good...kind of chewy like monk fish. I think they have been eating it since they were children. zI tried a raw mussel...it seems wrong to me for some reason so I passed on all other mussels but their clams "Arselle" are very good. The raw tuna was outstanding. We split the raw food.

| we started with osiers and clans....the eat raw mussels... In the foreground was the pasta of the man next to me.He was from Lake Como and did not eat raw seafood. |
 |
| Maurizo reminded me of Kurt Vonnegut..who, he had never heard of. |
 |
| My favorite, tuna tartare and Carpaccio...excellante! |
 |
| One of the men had this seafood combo. |
 |
| Vongle...unneessary. I should have stuck to straight seafood, no pasta. |
