Maddie and I were visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and decided to have lunch at their Portola Cafe & Restaurant.
At $12.95, this appetizer ain’t cheap. It also isn’t very filling, heheh. We decided to try it though because an Aquarium volunteer recommended it. She said these are from an abalone farm right here in Monterey Bay.
Due to salmon shortages, many restaurants are looking for alternatives. Since the Portola Cafe is careful about serving sustainable seafood, salmon wasn’t even on the menut. Their offering of Arctic Char was a pretty good substitute.
