HUNGRY GERALD

This is the name of an outstanding seafood market on Hope Street in Providence. Fearless sells a large variety of fresh fish plus smoked fish (excellent Nova and Gravlax), oysters, clams, lobsters, etc.–also good dips and spreads.  BSK used some of these offerings for a dazzling seafood supper last night. Appetizers were swordfish salad and whitefish salad (the whitefish was the winner). Also spicy tuna sushi from Stop and Shop (this supermarket sushi rivals the more expensive versions at sushi bars). Main dish was hake (from Fearless) plus peppers and sliced potatoes gently cooked in the oven on a sheet pan. BSK picked up a delightful tzatziki type spread at Fearless—this topped the cooked hake, turning the fish into an extravaganza of deliciousness. HG/BSK drank robust Cabernet and HG paired the wine with cheesecake. No dessert for BSK–and that’s why BSK has the svelte body of a woman many, many decades younger.
