After some patchy reviews and all, I didn't bother with Fish & Bones although it's really convenient. Also, when something says Korean food, it's not on my list of priorities to check out. But they seemed to have improved over time, and last year's reviews were generally decent. That evening, we decided to hop in for an easy dinner.
It's pretty much a seafood place. But they do have cooked items of bibimbap, pajeon, army stew, and some sort of one-dish lunch options. The husband ordered the spicy fish bone soup. Okaaaay. It isn't my favorite thing, but this version was pretty tasty. There was raw abalone too. That was tasty. Also had a slab of grilled ribeye with potatoes. The beef was pretty delicious!.
The halibut sashimi was fresh and lovely. But it's Korean style, so the knife skills are like...... ...... mehhh. Tonight, the medium platter of $65++ sashimi came as rather badly chopped up slices. I was wondering whether I'd kena food poisoning or parasites. LOL I'm not particularly enamored with Korean-style sashimi after what I see at their fish markets — both at the stalls and at the restaurants upstairs or nearby. After a few pieces of it, I decided to pop the slices into the spicy soup to lightly cook it.
The husband was like, next time, we should get the whole halibut, have the sashimi and take the bones home to boil soup. Riiiight. That's provided that the bones don't stay out for hours and be chockful of bacteria by the time it's actually taken home. We'll see. These are raw bones, not cooked. So I'm not confident of how they would store the bones if we should order a whole halibut. Those bones need to go back to the fridge or freezer stat, and not sit outside on the counter or at the table with us for the next 1.5 hours before it gets home to another freezer.
