Hatfields Seafood Trio

Taylor and I were ravenous after our friends award show a few nights ago and were around the corner from Hatfield's. We saddled up to the bar and ordered the cuttlefish, octopus, and the cod. I don't know why. We were just in that kind of mood.  They had this addictive rosemary popcorn that I was inhaling like a mad woman. The bartender kept pushing the croque madame but we ultimately skipped it. I ate too much popcorn.

The cuttlefish was so delish! Like salty ribbons of ocean.  There were maitake mushrooms and sunchoke purée.  Eatingla.blogspot had a picture. I didn't take any.



The octopus rocked as well.  Coins of hearts of palm nuzzled up with the thinly sliced octopus.. all on a puree of something that had saffron in it. Couldn't find photo online.

Then we had this perfect piece of cod. Sun dried tomatoes, olives, and eggplant joined in. And a crispy thing on top. Maybe the skin, deep fried. My favorite of the dish.

Oh but then we had to get dessert. It was over priced but the bar tender kept giving us all this free booze so we were like oh well what the fuck let's do it. The hot chocolate souffle tarlet screamed eat me so we complied. Like a molten chocolate cake with a chocolate tart crust.  I didn't taste any chicory in the ice cream as advertised but I still loved it all the same.

We left happy, well-fed, and feeling kinda like celebs. They were so darn nice. We'll be back. And i'll bring my camera.
