Arctic Char

This evening, we went over to my mother-in-law’s for dinner and we cooked some Arctic Char which we got fresh from the fish market.

It’s salmon-like in colour and flakes beautifully. We seasoned it with some garlic and herbs and while it was very simple, was truly a delightful fish. We served it up with some brown rice and some steamed asparagus.

I bring it up because I’ve never seen Arctic Char on a menu anywhere an would be interested to try it, especially if there was anywhere here in Tampa Bay that anyone knew of?

I agree arctic char is a great fish! It’s really similar looking to salmon but I prefer the light delicate taste of char to salmon which can have a really strong flavor. I have seen arctic char on the menu at Ocean Prime and Oceanaire in Tampa Bay.

Yes, it’s a much less fishier fish than salmon. I’ve not heard of these two restaurants though. I’ll have to do a search and find them and try them out. Sounds like they specialise in good seafood, which I’m all for. Thanks for the tip!

About

Restaurant World Tour is the brainchild of a man named Dave who got into the habit of going out every Friday for lunch with his colleagues. After a few weeks, they realised that they were going to restaurants which served different cuisines and it was decided that they should start a Restaurant World Tour, trying a different country’s cuisine each week.

After about 10 or 15 stops, Dave decided that this was really quite a cool idea and a lot of people would like to create their own Restaurant World Tours. After a couple of months building the website, it was finally opened for public use on October 14th 2008, maintaining its philosophy that people should be able to use the site and list restaurants for free.
