Gone Fishing for a great meal and caught a whopper.
Fishing For Dynamite has been a Manhattan Beach staple for almost a decade.
I had not dined there in a very long time and I felt it was the perfect time for a visit.
We parked 2 miles away and walked on the Manhattan Beach boardwalk that runs parallel to the wide beautiful beach, taking in the numerous mini-mansions that recently replaced the modest California homes.
It was a foggy Saturday so the beach was deserted.
We eventually walked up the hill and secured a great table outside at Fishing With Dynamite with a view of the ocean.
The interior of the restaurant is tiny.
We were tended to by a superb server.
We sampled wine and oysters to start. Loved the sweet Katamas from Massachusetts served with a delicious mignonette and fresh grated horseradish ($4.75 each).
We devoured lovely fresh chilled Peruvian Scallops with a citrus marinade ($4.25).
The Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad was fantastic highlighted by an array of goodies including, toasted hazelnuts, crispy artichokes, fresh tangerines, shaved pecorino and finished with truffled vinaigrette ($17).
The Koshihikari Rice consisting of Japanese rice with shrimp, Uni, blue crab and a cage-free egg yolk which you fold in was fabulous.
The dish is like a creamy rice porridge with a buttery flavor that is elevated with briney lumps of seafood goodness ($39).
Our server treated us to an amazing Key Lime Pie with a divine graham cracker crust and flame roasted mountain peaks of Italian lime meringue ($12).
Wonderful food and a matching atmosphere on a lazy day in Manhattan Beach.
Reel it in…Fishing With Dynamite is a real catch.
