Who doesn’t love fish and chips? Or salmon?
And now is the perfect time to go fishing at Daphne’s, the Mediterranean fast-casual eatery with a location on Foothill in East Pasadena, which has launched two limited-time seafood dishes.
The new offerings— wild-caught Alaskan salmon and breaded white fish—will be served through July 5 at all Daphne’s restaurants across California.
We visited the spot this week and focused on how to decide on which dish to order, there being only one of me in attendance.
The manager on duty, Gilmer Gonzales, scoffed at my dilemma, saying, “Take both. We’re just wrapping them up for you now.”
Five minutes later, I was on my way to my car, with the aroma of salmon and white fish pushing the accelerator all the way home. (There is limited dining at Daphne’s inside, but a roomy patio for dining with your friend, Al Fresco.)
Once home, I made my ‘which first?’ simply reached into the bag, happy to consume whichever item was on top. That would be the salmon.
Daphne’s Salmon Plate features wild-caught Alaskan salmon filet marinated in chermoula sauce with lemon and spices served on a bed of basmati rice and roasted vegetables with warm pita and grilled lemon on the side.
You’re already hungry, aren’t you?
This dish is easily as good as food served on fine flatware with even finer stemware. The salmon is cooked perfectly, and the chermoula, subtle and still flavorful.
The Fish and Chips Plate is a Mediterranean-inspired take on the UK favorite and features fried breaded white fish served with fries, a house salad, lemon tahini dressing, and fresh lemon on the side. Unlike the typical fish and chips you find in stands and pubs all over the UK, this batter is lightly handled, unlike the armor you can sometimes find with a British accent.
The Fish and Chips waited until dinner, which was less time than thought. (I get hungry fast.) Popped into the toaster oven (a microwave would just be wrong), the chips were slightly crunchy again, and the fish was piping hot, steam emerging from the tiny cracks in the light crust.
Again, different from the traditional UK treatment, but equally rewarding.
Both dishes are affordable, generously portioned, and a healthier step-aside from a steady lunch diet of burgers and fries. A salad can be fries, if you think they are.
