Grilled Yellowtail

My main course: Grilled Yellowtail. I decided to spare fellow patrons another blinding flash from my camera, so that's why it's a bit dark. Use some of your imagination to add brightness and color. (Anoop had the boneless grilled chicken, but the picture of it didn't come out too well.)

 

The yellowtail is actually "buri" and not the "hamachi" that you get in sushi bars. It's the same fish, but I believe that buri is just a yellowtail that gets to live a bit longer before it's gutted, cleaned, cooked and made to contribute to my increasing karmic deficit. The dish came with a small bowl of shredded daikon in ponzu, which is a light, citrusy vinegar sauce.

 

As you can see, the presentation is a bit bare. The potatoes look like the poor, disfigured siblings of the other more attractive vegetables on the plate. Huge daikon slice reminded me of a nipple, but I digress.

 

So, what's my verdict on Sawtelle Kitchen? Well, to quote the immortal words of South Park's Eric Cartman, "What's the big fuckin' deal, bitch?" I should have had the meatloaf, but didn't get the chance to read the Chowhound thread about Sawtelle Kitchen before I left to pick up Anoop.
