Well I promised myself if I was ever able to visit Manhattan Beach, California again I would head back to Rock N’ Fish.
I was glad I got there in time to see the sunset. It was so beautiful to see the sun fade into the Pacific Ocean. This visit I was able to sit on their outside patio. It was the perfect weather for it too, not too hot and not to cold.
Instead of ordering an appetizer and a main dish I went for an appetizer and a salad. Their portions are pretty large so I knew I would be satisfied with just this.
I started with the jumbo coconut prawns. The prawns were covered with panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut. The coconut had a subtle flavor that was not overpowering with sweetness. The prawns came with a pineapple dipping sauce that complemented the coconut. Also included on the plate was a side of slaw. It had an Asian flare to it with a sesame dressing. This slaw would have been great just by itself.
I was excited to try the shrimp and avocado Louie salad. It was a wonderful chopped salad tossed in a Louie dressing. On top were slices of fresh, creamy avocado, tomatoes, olives, and a hard-boiled egg. The shrimp decorated the side of the plate. They did not have any dressing on them so I asked for some cocktail sauce on the side and ate the shrimp with that. The Louie dressing was sweet and was great with the salty flavor from the olives. The salad was huge so it was the perfect meal.
I cannot recommend Rock N’ Fish enough. I was so glad that I got to visit them for a second time. For great flavors and fresh ingredients check them out at www.rocknfishmb.com
