fresh fish, tacos, uni all local San Diego style, from Poppa (2014, restaurant)

[bloom]

No need to thank me for this introduction to a well-established local institution that expanded just a bit, for those who don't know. Owner is top notch, class act, community minded, to boot.

Not impressed.
Have had fresher on an fishing boat from San Diego where the Captain is locally fed and the bait is locally sourced in SD.

Yes....I am just kidding

Poppa is a staple at all the Farmers markets and one of my first introductions to some amazing local seafood in San Diego. Its GREAT that he has expanded operations and a steward for the community.

Thanks for sharing bloom

This reminds me of a story...I'll be brief.

I was on a two-day fishing trip on a Pt Loma charter boat about seven years ago and we were catching limits of Albacore. We were to the point that the crew was fishing as well because just about everyone had max'd out. The cook went out and dropped his pole in and snagged a nice twenty pound albacore. He brought the fish up, cleaned it, and cut it up into steaks. He grilled it and we were eating that tuna less than a half hour later. He made a very simple sauce out of mayonnaise, lime and wasabe and dressed it up with chopped tomatoes and cabbage. Some corn tortillas on the side.....effing awesome. The cook must have been about twenty years old and had the appearance of a outlaw biker instead of a cook, but a very talented young fellow.


For those interested in local seafood...I believe we are going to have a hell of fishing season this year and it has already started and will probably go long.

Fish tacos.
I don't eat shell fish.
The best pho I've had was in Boston and hasn't been replicated anywhere yet.
I never tried Uni but Poppa's would be The place to try.

Cool.

Pho Pasteur in Boston? Used to love them. Still the best I have had as well.

There are several Pho Pasteurs in Boston. THE one is a more hole in wall on Washington Street, across street from malaysian restaurant penang. Chicken pho with veges (you have to ask for the veges) is fresh and bountiful. Beef bun also tops. No sense trying other pho's after that one. If you want send me link to confirm correct one.

poppa needs to work more on his pho, respectfully
