A salvation of summer right here at @station6nola , a soft shell crab so swole it looks like it’s been pumping iron, covered with more crabmeat.

In Bucktown, on a piece of the lakefront famous for traditional seafood dishes, Station 6 has built a following by serving the local catch a bit differently — meaning it’s not all fried or boiled.

But when they do turn to the fryer ….mercy.

More highlights from a recent romp:
“Ali’s” wedge, named for the original co-founder (remember Vega Tapas? Same Ali), with little gem bundles as the base for all that bacon, bleu cheese dressing, fried onion straws and a dash of Crystal

The sizzling garlic shrimp, as if we’re in Spain for a course

The pampano with curried brown butter and cashews nicely augmenting the flavorful fish

And I love seeing northshore’s wild wine wizards @wildbushvineyard represented, terrific Chardonnay at a reasonable $50 on the list here
