don't worry, this is a restaurant review of the crab catcher in la jolla, not a public service announcement. let me first set the stage...
a year ago, i met a guy from an online dating site. we had drinks at a local sports bar while we talked for a few hours. fast forward a year and we are living together, eating together every night, and have a domestic, blended household (his cat + my two cats = crazy cat family).
to celebrate that memorable november day, we went out for dinner at the crab catcher in la jolla (thanks mama sue for the groupon gift of food).
friday night was cold and dreary but the restaurant was warm and romantic. we started with a bottle of savignon blanc. although i prefer red to white, i know it pairs better with most seafood and wine is a delectable first course. my beloved had the surf and turf (crab and fillet) while i had the wild mexican shrimp. now before you go crazy (why didn't you get crab at the crab catcher), i don't like most crab or lobster. have you tried it? yes i have. have you had good crab and good lobster? yes i have. it's just not for me. now, he loved both the surf and the turf. i tried both and did not like the crab (it was not the crab, it's just not the flavor/texture for me). my shrimp were not shrimpy at all in size nor in flavor. blasphemous as it sounds, i did not have an ounce of room for any desserts, i did have a box of chocolates waiting for me at home :)
