We had dinner at the Red Fish Grill. It was recommended by two friends. There is 4 of us. we shared two entrees and a gumbo. One entree was pan seared scallops with asparagus. It was so delicious. The pan seared jumbo scallops with corn macque chouz, roasted asparagus, jalapeno oil and crispy andouille.
The second entree was the hickory grilled redfish with tasso and wild msuhroom pontalba potatoes, sauteed louisiana jumbo lump crabmeat with lemon butter sauce. The fish was the best fish i've ever had. It was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. It wasnt dry and overcooked like most fish i've had.
The gumbo was alligator sausage and seafood gumbo with rich dark roux, onion, bell peppers, celery and fresh herbs. It was a tad too spicy for me. The alligator was a sausage so it was hard to taste the actual alligator meat.
After dinner, we walked on Bourbon st. This is like walking on the Vegas strip times that by ten. There is more drinking and more drunken antics than vegas. There are buildings with balconies and people on the balconies throw down beads. Sometimes they just throw down the beads for random people. Sometimes they throw the beads to people who show some boobs or butt.
One place we wanted to try was Cafe Du Monde. It is known for its beignets and cafe au lait. Beignets are like a puff donut engulfed with icing sugar. I am not a coffee but the cafe au lait was good with a bit of sugar. It stayed really hot for a really long time. It was walking distance to the French Market. Eventhough the stores were closed, we just did some window shopping. We will make it there again to go in the shops. There are so many shops with artsy and crafty things to see.
We finally walked back to our hotel. It is really nice to relax and rest my legs after 3 hours of walking.
