The outtakes from a post I did for Chicagoist on El Barco Mariscos. For more info on the restaurant, read the Chicagoist post. It was funny, we went a few weeks ago and yesterday when the post went up Dallas got a major craving for it again and we went back last night.
How were the oysters?
this was only the second time i had oysters and the first time I was drunk, so I can’t really comment on them. Dallas said that they were pretty good, but nothing special.
Looks great. I live pretty close and have always wondered what the place is like inside. Thank you for the insight.
i thought you didn’t eat oysters?
hm. i dont remember ever telling you that.. maybe i said i’d never had them? so i didnt want to go to the big guinness oysterfest?the first time i had them was like last year.. then the second time was a couple weeks ago.
yeah, i think that’s it.
did you “feel” anything afterwards? wink wink?
eh.. no?
It’s a running joke between me and Debbie that when we pass that place, one of us has to say, “We should go there sometime.” We saw a review on 190 North, and now this, so the pressure is building.
How the hell do you eat that snapper? Do they filet it at the table for you, or do you have to go at like Daryl Hannah did that lobster in Splash?
the fish is all scaled and everything and there arent really many bones.. so you basically just pull the chunks of meat off the skeleten.
