Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The collage shows a tray of raw oysters on ice with lemon and mignonette, a bowl of clams in white wine broth and the Bay Bridge across the water.
Roger’s caption is precise: oysters from California, BC, Washington and Virginia, and steamers made with Manila clams, leek tips, lima beans, Spanish chorizo and jalapeño butter. The detail makes the meal easy to picture even without the restaurant’s name.
The quick critique
What stood out
- Oysters from four regions
- Clam steamers with chorizo and jalapeño butter
- Bay Bridge views
Bottom line
Archive verdict
A waterfront seafood meal worth remembering for the detail in Roger’s caption.
