Sesame-encrusted Salmon Salad
For this experience, our Protagonist left behind the all-you-can-eat attitude of the first Barnacle Bills experience and picked a nice selection off of the "recession specials" list. The Seafood Crepes had a nice amount of seafood, and the crepes, themselves were very light and tender crepes. There was nothing extraordinary about the veloute that the seafood had been prepared in, but it was pleasant enough. The obligatory accompaniment of coleslaw was serviceable; thankfully, it had not been drowned in too much dressing as is the bane of many a restaurant. His dining partner ordered the salad; the salmon was crusted with both white and black sesame for a nice color combination which also packed a slightly more peppery punch. Our Protagonist, having recently discovered the pleasures of black tahini, is a fan of the black sesame, for certain. Overall, the lunch was fine and reasonably priced; while our Protagonist probably wouldn't make a point of coming back just to eat here for lunch, he wouldn't be disappointed if the suggestion were made, either. At least it isn't Cafe Americano...
