HUNGRY GERALD

Sharks is a large Peruvian cuisine restaurant that recently opened near our Central Falls, RI, loft. Reviews have been good so a dinner time table for four was reserved–HG/BSK, daughter Lesley R. and her husband, Massimo R. The restaurant was jammed with happy families. A Peruvian musician was on stage with backup music provided by speakers and amplifiers. This was the loudest music ever. Conversation was impossible. We ordered with gestures. This was a Saturday night. Have to check if there’s music every night or only on weekends. Amid the din, our group enjoyed the food. We over ordered. Lots of cold shrimp in various mayonnaise based sauces. Giant platters of fresh fried food. The fried squid (lots of tentacles) was outstanding. HG/BSK will be back (if they have a quiet night). Surprisingly, there were no condiments except quartered lemons. Next time we’ll bring a bag of sriracha, remoulade and Frank’s hot sauce.
