We really enjoyed our lunch at Jose Luis. We shared some boquerones and smoked salmon stuffed endive, followed with a splendid seafood stew for two, which was brimming with white salmon, octopus, squid, shrimp, clams and langoustines. I think it ranks as one of the best and certainly most generous Spanish stews of its kind we have ever had and we certainly sampled many as we toured through Spain. Great seafood, great service... a real find. Great recommendation Dan. We really enjoyed our lunch at Jose Luis.

Hake is, I gather, a favorite, here called merluza. Though slightly elaborate looking, this was pretty simple. The fish filets are cleaned and deboned and placed in a cazuela, or any similar ovenproof dish. I blanched and shocked some spinach and then pureed it into a mix of milk and cream (an idea I got from a recent lunch at José Luis), seasoned with salt and lots of paprika, and then poured it around the fish. Saute onions until just transluscent and limp, and place atop the fish, and then top the whole thing with some grated cheese - I used fynbo which has a rich, earthy note of buckwheat to it. Then stuck in the oven until cooked through and lightly browned on top. [...] [...] Apparently gratined fish is quite popular in the cuisine. Hake is, I gather, a favorite, here called merluza.

I may have to move someplace that has real food. I am so sick of not having any good choices. Hell, I may move back to a tropical climate just to have fresh fish available!!! That's desperate. Thank you for reminding me there is a world of good food out there. Or at least a city! 'ta luego, muchacho. Ohmygod, I am so hungry for some good seafood.
