Where in town can I experience this amazing dish again? I'm not looking for sashimi, but for a more European preparation. Thanks for any suggestions. Fri Dec 09 16:55:54 -0800 2005 0 Lisa 1 38647 I have seen this at Zoe, Cascadia and Lark in the past year. Fri Dec 09 18:03:05 -0800 2005 38643 0 Chad McDaniel 2 38653 I had it as part of the tasting course at Union. I'm not sure if it's a standard menu item. The little bit I had was excellent but left me wanting a truckload more.
