April 2005

Ahi Poke

Chef Dennis Marron’s year in Hawaii taught him a love for Pacific flavors, and this is his idea of Big Island comfort food. Pristine ahi tuna is chopped coarsely, seasoned, and served with tamarind sauce and cracker bread.

Seared Scallops on Truffle Foam

Simple and austere, this dish combines several flavors that work beautifully together: butter, cream, black truffle, apple, and hand-collected dry-pack sea scallops.

Cioppino

The area’s most traditional and honest version of this treat. Perfectly cooked seafood, tomatoes, white wine, and plenty of oregano—a fish lover’s meal in a bowl.
