Best dish you have had in the last 30 days?

Best thing I ate in hong kong. Lightly marinated fish sashimi with a side of scallop! 

Anyone recognize what fish that is?  My Chinese speaking friend ordered it from the specials chalkboard so we can't look up the name of it on the actual menu. May have just been the "fish of the day" thing too.

I was hit in the head by a flying fish when out on the boat in Cuba. . He didn't make it. 

It looked very similar

Yep, that'd be a flying fish. You can find them in the area around Hong Kong island. It is also quite common in Taiwan.

We have had them fly into the boat a couple of times when moving.  They are best eaten raw with a little chilli,  wasabi and soy...basically a herring with wings in our neck anyway

Spent a long weekend in Bar Harbor, ME a short while ago. Two whole lobsters, mussels and corn on the cob for $60! Oh, and a free cider lol.

Ha!-I made Cod from frozen in the Instant Pot tonight but sure the hell didn't look that good.

Went to a Sagardi in London for our anniversary. Steak is 90£/kg or 135£/kg for the premium cut. It was nice, but not good value. Not worth the money nowadays.

Late night service in the city..stumbled across this cozy little tapas bar on the way home from the fire works. I just loved it, late night food poetry. Blood from my Blood tempanillo perfect.

My wife and I enjoyed this fantastic wild salmon, asparagus, roasted cauliflower and 3cheese whipped potatoes at La Beauna Barra in Cancun.

Made a cut down version of Paella a few days ago.(no shelled mussels or clams on hand)  😔  So chicken thighs, legs, chorizo, clam meat and Argentinian shrimp had to make do.

Got these wild mushrooms yesterday. Top left Chantrelles. Top right Chicken of the Woods. And the big boys are Monterey Cypress, the best tasting mushrooms I've ever had.

Update: the chicken of the woods made me ill as all get out.  My niece and my mom ate it and were just fine. Not the best mushroom as it was pretty dry.

My uncle has been foraging for mushrooms since he was a kid in Italy. The "chicken of the woods" are always the holy grail finds. He still forages well into his 80's. This pic was from a local paper from when he found a chonker. By far these are my favourite mushrooms.  To buy them here in Toronto you're looking at $28/Kg (CAD$).
