Friday night I ate at Bar Crudo on Divisadero... an homage to raw seafood with a small assortment of hot plates for those needing comfort on a rainy night. It was rainy, and I did need comfort, so I will skip straight to the chowder. We split a bowl of seafood chowder, whose delightfully tender mussels, shrimp, squid, and chunks of white fish lingered in a creamy bacony broth. Though I enjoyed the nuances of the different seafood in every bite, I think I would have preferred a chowder with only those mussels!
Though the chowder was a treat, the highlight for me was the crudo. Arctic char, with a horseradish cream, wasabi tobiko, and a sprig of dill... just enough dimension with the texture and heat but the char itself was the star. Nicely done, Bar Crudo.
