Blackfin Pub, Comox, B.C.

Last week, we travelled with Janey’s Got a Bus to see the Coastal Black Pumpkin park in Comox. WOW! This place is huge with millions of pumpkins set out differently. I will review the park on “Damn I Gotta Read This” site You should make the trip and then go into the Blackfin Pub for lunch.

There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Our server, Sarah is a wonderful asset to the restaurant for sure. I had something you wouldn’t think works but it does. I had the Mac and Cheese (made the old fashioned way) with elbow macaroni, wonderful sauce and now with shrimp and crab. These were whole shrimp minus the tails and crab pieces. OMGoodness was it ever delicious. Yup! I brought mine home as it was wonderfully large. Don wanted to share it as well.

Don ordered the Skirt Steak Sandwich and really liked it. No left overs here. He never orders a skirt steak but this was really tasty.

It is fun to take these jaunts and visit different restaurants. This is a really good one.

Oceana Restaurant, New Orleans

We were a bit slower this morning after such a busy day yesterday, but did manage to get back to  the French Quarter to the Oceana Restaurant for lunch. We were here a couple of years back with Kelly and Trevor, and had to try it again. We asked for the Courtyard, but it was under construction she said, although the tables were all set for meals.

We started with Crab cakes and they were the best we have had with a shrimp/mushroom gravy that was so good I thought one could bathe in it.

I ordered my favourite  Catfish Po’ Boy sandwich. This could have fed 4 people. We brought some home ‘just in case’. It was perfect.

Don ordered the restaurant ‘favourite’ meal of red fish with the same shrimp/mushroom gravy, along with garlic mashed potatoes and collard greens. He felt the fish was really dry and lacked seasoning.

All was not lost however, we ordered the Creme Brulee (what else?) and it had the best topping we have had. Perfect meal, (almost) now on to the rest of a perfect day.
