Holy Spanish mackerel crudo!

This wonder from the Gulf, so little seen at restaurants, is lushly flavorful, velvety in texture.

It was a happy hour special at @evviva.nola , and we lucked into a plate of it with dinner.

Pair that with perfectly cooked grilled shrimp, just charred at the edges of the shell, and anchovy toasts with both the sour marinated and salty anchovy varieties.

Affordable Italian wine (I love the falanghina).

And for dessert? Plastic cups of Malort on the rocks for four bucks just down the street at @peppspubnola
