Flying Fish

Ahi Tuna Poke with won-tons and wasabi tobiko marinade
Two of my friends were nice enough to invite me along to an annual tradition of theirs - going to Flying Fish to partake in a evening of crab - the salt and pepper crab, to be more specific.  We started out with the poke appetizer and while it was good, the flavors were somewhat bland. 

Salt and Pepper Dungeness Crab with sesame noodles and carrot daikon salad
The crab, however, did not disappoint.  It was absolutely amazing and after the second bite, I signed myself for next year's dinner.  The waiter shared his wisdom and helped us figure out that sharing the platter of crab was quite plenty.  The crab was completely covered in salt and peppercorns, and the flavors burst in my mouth, along with the delicate, sweet crab.  It was a very messy ordeal as we were up to our elbows in salt and pepper/crab shells, so as much as I wanted pictures of us, I'm glad that we didn't take pictures.
