Artichoke portrait

This is a poorly-framed photo, thanks to my new camera phone having a totally unmotivated ‘widescreen’ mode. Nonetheless, behold: A deep-fried artichoke filled with shrimp cocktail.

Pretty good! Although, I always thought that the point of ‘a la juive’ was that you could eat all of the leaves, which was not quite true with this one.

Courtesy of Woodhouse Fish Company on Fillmore in San Francisco. They also had excellent Ipswich clams, though I’m unclear on why there aren’t equivalent West Coast options. It feels a bit silly to eat seafood on the West coast that was flown in from the East.
