Fish Tacos.... Yeah, Baby, again!

When John,
(aka Hubby o'mine)
first moved
to SLO
from
Vermejo Park, New Mexico,
he met
Ross and Joanne.
They
became
fast friends


Consequently,
Ross and Joanne
with
lots of hard work,
time and
energy
(and a killer Clam Chowder)
turned
into
a
cash cow!
Lines around the block
for
Splash Cafe's
chowder in a bread bowl
(as well as their many
other
delectable
seafood goodies)


When
the
time
came
for
the
ever-greasy
Bishop's Burgers
(right next to Petit Soleil)
to
close,
Joanne and Ross
built


Good thing for us!

in SLO
is happily painted
the same colors
at Petit

(butwith happy little clams and sea creatures everywhere!)

They have
seafood galore.
outrageous breads and desserts,
clam chowder in bread bowls,
salads,
sammies
wine and beer
.........

and
FISH TACOS!!!!!

I
invited my favorite
work out buddies
for
fish tacos
after our friday work out

Melissa
was on board
as
Splash's tacos
are her faves
IMG_1458
and
Teresa,
the one that whips us into shape,
decided
chicken tacos were for her
(camera shy and hungry)

yup
that's Sandy with the lemons
and
the abs o'steel
was
game, too!

We brought
our
goodies
to
Petit

and
inhaled
our food
(and posed for a photo)

ALL IN ALL,
one
fish
or
one
chicken
taco
is
not
enough for
a hungry
girl.
The
guacamole cilantro sauce
was
yummy,
lettuce not cabbage,
fried fish
(good!
really good!)
...just not enough.
BUT,
I
went back
today
--starving
(we ran six miles this morning)
and
I
ordered

T W O SALMON TACOS

PERFECT!
perfectly
hot
and delicious
and
the perfect amount
for
a
hungry
ME!

In search of....

Fish Tacos
Take
3
I don't know
what
is more
frustrating
....
going
somewhere
really special
......and forgetting your camera

or

taking
a whole bunch
of
great
pictures

downloading them
and
realizing
that
NOT ONE TURNED OUT
(broken camera)
My
friend
Barbara
said
"let's go get fish tacos!"

OK!!!

WHERE?
How about
in
Cayucos!
(touts the "BEST" fish tacos)

YEAH!
A
picture-perfect
day
overlooking
the pier
in Cayucos

camera in hand


Smoked Albacore Tacos

YUM!!!

different
than most
as
1. smoked fish
2. ONE taco
3. lettuce instead of cabbage
4. no guac
5. no sour cream
but really
really
YUMMY!
Barbara
took
a picture of
me
devouring
my
smoked albacore taco


I
took
pictures
of the
owner
of
the pier
of Barbara,
a 1940's ambulance
etc.
etc.

downloaded pictures
all
overexposed

grrrrrrrrr
note to self

Camera to camera shop tomorrow


Today
SUNDAY
"Hey, John!
Let's go get fish tacos"
grabbed
John's
uber
super-special
camera
and we
headed out to
our
old fave
...
IMG_1454

Not like being at the beach
or on a pier
or even outside
but
the fish taco
menu worked
IMG_1449
and
the
Giants
were playing
(not a good ending to that...)
IMG_1450

I
ordered
salmon tacos
IMG_1451

and
John
had the fried calamari tacos
(a respite from the "no flour, no sugar, no preservative diet)
IMG_1452

my
fish
tacos
were
so so so so so so
SO
good
(perfectly cooked salmon, lots of cabbage, a touch of hot chipotle, lots of guac, sour cream)

John

LOVED

the fried calamari tacos
IMG_1453

The
uber
super-special camera
worked
as it
should

GOOD FISH TACOS!

Barbara
lamented
with
me
about the
broken camera
but
that
always
Positive Polly
great friend
said
"We just have to back to Ruddell's again
and
have
fish tacos"

nice!
