Kosher - a Sign of High Quality and Goodness

The laws of Judaism impose the highest requirements on food and cooking. What foods can be called "kosher" is spelled out in the dietary regulations, kashrut. Kosher means "suitable" or "suitable. Thus, only foods that are not harmful to one's health can be considered kosher. Strict observance of kashrut is a must for Jews. They are very selective in the food and dishes for their diet.

Seafood is divided into those conforming to kashrut rules: salmon, red caviar; and those unacceptable: shrimp, mussels, squid, eel, catfish, and black caviar.

Kosher fish, such as salmon, are nurtured in the waters. Only wild fish can be considered organic and natural, as they forage on their own in the wild.

Pacific salmon are born in the purest rivers, a land of fantastic nature surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. It is home to the largest population of Pacific salmon in the world. There is a fishing plant on the coast where Bering seafood is produced. The catching is done without grossly disrupting the life cycle of the fish, so the salmon from Bering seafood is fully compliant with kashrut requirements.

The fish are caught as close to the shore as possible - about 400 meters. The catching is carried out when salmon enters the river - when the roe is already mature enough and contains maximum nutrients. The caught fish is delivered on special barges filled with seawater to the factory on the coast. Here the fish and caviar "Bering seafood" is processed, packed, and frozen for further transportation. When manufacturing seafood "Bering seafood" at the enterprise, the use of any chemical additives and preservatives is wholly excluded. The consumer receives only fresh and ecologically pure products.

A short production cycle provides the maximum freshness of raw material: the finished product "Bering seafood" is frozen not more than 4 hours after the catch.

The absence of preservatives even in producing chilled caviar "Bering seafood" is due to innovative packaging solutions.

When exporting the finished products of "Bering seafood," all the necessary norms are observed - red caviar and fish are shipped from the refrigerated chambers under strict temperature control at all stages of transportation.

Kosher salmon and red caviar "Bering seafood" - are the most popular seafood among the Jewish community. It is essential to ensure that valuable products such as natural red caviar and wild kosher salmon are available to Jews worldwide. Bering seafood exports its products to 11 countries, where consumers appreciate the excellent taste of the products from the plant and their unique effect on the human body.

Why is the Keto Diet so popular among Celebrities?

Why is the Keto Diet so popular among Celebrities?

The basis of nutrition is foods high in protein and fat. The ketogenic diet is a meal plan that minimizes carbohydrate intake and generates energy from clean, healthy fats in the diet. The name is because, with such a diet, the level of ketogenic bodies in the blood rises; they serve as a source of energy when there is not enough glucose in the body. Such bodies are formed in the process of…

Hi! I have discovered lobster is not kosher and this is Julian's fav meal... But according to Canadian Jewish News "The Jewish Scriptures forbid eating all shellfish, including lobster. It is not forbidden for Jews to eat lobster, another forbidden food, even though they would never eat pork. Kosher food practices have been abandoned by others completely." What would you do? I read your wonderful halal alternatives for Asra. May I ask you about some sea-related meals alternatives for Julian? <3

obligatory disclaimer: I am not Jewish, I've just done some research and have wonderful Jewish friends willing to answer my ignorant questions! Please listen to actual Jews over me :)

Jewish identity is complex, with an ethnic and a religious component, and these may occur separately or together. So first I will say that it is entirely possible to hc Julian as an ethnic Jew who chooses not to keep to Kosher practices when he isn't back home in Nevivon.

That said, there's also no reason not to think about alternative foods for hcs where he does keep to the dietary practices! Many common fish are Kosher, and fish is also pareve (not meat or milk), which makes it more flexible as an ingredient.

In keeping with his Slavic coding, here are a few seafood-based ideas, many of them considered comfort or holiday foods:

Salmon or Trout Caviar (not from sturgeon, which have no scales and are thus not Kosher)

Ukha (Russian fish soup)

Shuba (a pickled-herring layered salad, aka 'herring in a fur coat')

Stroganina (thinly shaved frozen raw fish, like a frozen sashimi)

Kulebyaka (salmon or other fish baked in pastry with rice, onions, etc)

Any kind of preserved fish roe from Kosher fish (though this is more of a Mediterranean-style preparation in the real world)

And of course that classic of Jewish cuisine, gefilte fish (I can almost hear one of my Jewish friends groaning from across the continent...)

As always, I welcome corrections and additions! I do what I can, but I'm definitely not an authoritative source.

The Most Potent Natural Antioxidant

Let's talk about astaxanthin. This substance is a natural pigment from the carotenoid family group of xanthophylls produced by plants and animals. One of the leading products in terms of astaxanthin content is salmon fish and its caviar. The content of this substance determines the reddish tint of meat and caviar of representatives of this family. They get astaxanthin by feeding on phytoplankton and algae that contain it in excess.

To study astaxanthin's influence on the human body, many laboratory studies have been conducted. Scientists proved that astaxanthin has 6000 times more power potential than the well-known antioxidant vitamin C. Compared to coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), astaxanthin is 800 times more powerful than green tea astaxanthin is 500 times more powerful, and alpha-dipoic acid is 75 times more powerful.

The action of astaxanthin on the body is extensive. The compound is unique in that it can interact with both oil and water. It can not only circulate in the bloodstream - the astaxanthin molecule can attach to the cell membrane, which consists of an oil structure, and, as a result, neutralize free radicals in all parts of the body.

Regular consumption of rich foods will favorably affect all vital organs and systems. Numerous studies have shown that astaxanthin benefits the cardiovascular system by lowering the level of C-reactive protein in the blood. This indicator is a marker of the presence of inflammatory processes in the body, depressingly affecting the cardiovascular system. Also, to which astaxanthin belongs, carotenoids help protect vision - they can prevent eye diseases associated with age-related changes. The positive effect of astaxanthin on skin health has also been proven - its elasticity and firmness increase, and wrinkles are reduced.

The presence of redfish and caviar in the diet has a complex positive effect on the body. In addition to the above properties, a beneficial effect on the immune system, anti-inflammatory effect, improved gum health, and even reproductive health has been proven.

Often, in pursuit of benefits, people buy products that, on the contrary, can harm the body. In the case of salmon fish and red caviar, this happens regularly. Many sources talk about the benefits of these products, and it seems to people that buying a jar of caviar in a nearby supermarket will receive all the benefits that nature has in this product. In most cases, we are offered aquaculture products for purchase - this is a whole industry that specializes in the artificial breeding of fish. Healthy nutrition experts question the benefits of such fish products - feed contains many additives, hormones, dyes, and antibiotics.

Should organize production according to the principle of a complete cycle - fishing, processing, packaging, and freezing should take place at one enterprise. An excellent example of such a manufacturer is the Kamchatka company "Vostochny Bereg (Bering Seafood)." The fish caught here is frozen within 4 hours after being caught. So that the desire to saturate the body with the benefits of organic wild fish does not lead to the opposite effect, it is better to choose products from the manufacturing plant. A vital quality indicator is the absence of products' preservatives or organic additives. Due to this policy, the Vostochny Bereg (Bering Seafood) plant obtained an orthodox kosher certificate. This is the only fishery enterprise in the world with such a document.

Nature has incredible riches in organic, natural products that can bring many benefits to our health. With a competent and attentive attitude to your body and the choice of food, our body will say "thank you" to us, and positive changes will not be long in coming.

[whentommymetalfie]

hc: okay so we all know that tommy is a fancy fucker, so he of course must have the fancy food™. not just the usuals: champagne and caviar. but stuff like foie gras and truffles as well.but alfie likes his simple homey food. and has a particular dislike for truffles bc honestly. they stink SO BAD (like they stink up the entire fridge ew) and taste bad too??? and truffle oil? the worst. bc it stinks even more. so basically alfie hates truffle season with a passion.

A/N: I grinned like an idiot while reading this

-It’s incredibly lucky that Tommy has found himself a man who cooks, because otherwise he’d live solely off of whiskey and cigarettes.

-When it comes to eating, Tommy is like a child: picky and reluctant.

-And he’s got no real interest in food, so he’d never actually buy it himself. But Alfie -being a quite prominent figure in London- does receive gifts from various people who’d like to get in his good graces.

-Baskets of expensive foods is just one of them. Alfie doesn’t appreciate this. What is it with rich people and truffles? It’s a ridiculous ingredient.

-When he tries to throw them out, Tommy points out that if this is what upper-class people eat, they should try it. Alfie grudgingly agrees to at least let them stay in the pantry.

-But he is not pleased.

-They are invited to an opening of a club, at which an assortment of expensive foods is served. Caviar, among other things.

-Alfie gets out of eating it by asking if the caviar is kosher, a question which the host can’t answer.

-Tommy, however, has no choice but to eat. Because it’s very childish to refuse.

-It’s not good. It’s. Not. Good.

-But Tommy has the ability to keep his face entirely blank through the most unpleasant experiences and politely eats everything that is given to him. Like a normal person. But he quickly realizes that rich people don’t have better taste than anyone else.

-The Champaign is another story. Tommy definitely understands why people are so obsessed with that.

“Have to admit, I’m very impressed, love,” Alfie says on the walk home. “Never seen you try that many new things in an evening. And without pouting, too.”

-Tommy is silent.

“And that you managed to eat that fucking chicken covered in truffle oil…” Alfie keeps talking. “Guess I’ll have to start using those horrid things in my cooking. If it gets you to eat-“

“I hid it in a flowerpot.”

-Alfie stops and looks at Tommy with confusion. “What?”

“I hid it. In a flowerpot,” Tommy repeats, trying not to blush. “It was awful and I didn’t know what to do with it. So I hid it.”

-Alfie is silent for another moment, before bursting out laughing. Tommy is embarrassed, but the prospect of Alfie putting truffles in his food was just too much, so he had to say something, right?

“It didn’t cross your mind to just… leave it?” 

“Where? We were all… standing around. There was nowhere to leave it.” Tommy is sulking.

-Alfie is highly amused. Tommy decides to stick to Champagne from now on.

-They go home, and Alfie cooks them some actual food, which Tommy happily eats.

-Alfie jokingly wonders what Tommy would even do without him and his cooking. “How would you survive?”

“I wouldn’t,” Tommy blurts out without thinking. Then he has to stare very intensely at his hands for a bit. So he doesn’t see Alfie’s tender smile.

-Alfie reaches across the table and takes his hand. “Well, for the record, I wouldn’t do so well without you either, love.”

Western Kosher, 444 N Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles (Fairfax), CA 90036

I liked the Western Kosher Market on Pico (Mid-City) so much that I decided to check out their other location on Fairfax. The Fairfax location is much smaller and it looks older too. The selection of hummus was much more limited and they didn’t have an in-store deli.

But if you need/want kosher products, they have a bit of everything, including smoked fish, fresh fish, caviar, a butcher/meat counter, baked goods from local bakeries like Sam’s Kosher Bakery, fresh produce, prepared foods, wine, dairy, snacks, household essentials, etc. Quite a few items were missing prices though. Expect to pay more because it’s kosher.

My pick:

Hafla jumbo hummus ($10.49): Good stuff, Israeli style, made locally, smooth and creamy. Not as good as the hummus from Brooklyn and Israel though

Also, you can order online for pickup or have your groceries delivered. Even better, they have a rewards program and an app. Oh and there are a few parking spaces behind the store. Parking is tough in the neighborhood.

4 out of 5 stars.

Fish or Meat

There are many fans of meat and fish in the world. The protein in these products gives strength and energy and affects the strength of bones, hair, teeth, and nails. Without protein, we will not be able to gain muscle mass. Protein contributes to weight loss and satiety, and it is not for nothing that it is called the building substance of our body. What is more beneficial - to eat fatty salmon or choose meat - lamb, pork and beef? There are adherents of fish, and there are people who believe it is necessary to eat fatty meat to lose weight and not feel hungry. Let's try to understand this issue and resolve the dispute - what is more beneficial for our body.

When comparing salmon and beef, the benefits of fish come to the fore. Firstly, the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are so necessary for our body and can get only from food and vitamins, is five times higher than in beef. Vitamin B9 in salmon contains 25 milligrams, while in beef - only 9 milligrams, vitamin B3 is almost twice as much, and vitamin B5 is three times more in salmon than in meat. Selenium, potassium, and magnesium are also found in most salmon, while beef has high cholesterol - 88 milligrams per 100 grams of product versus 55 milligrams per 100 grams of salmon. True, beef is iron-releasing - it contains 2.6 milligrams of iron, while salmon has only 0.8 milligrams.

Salmon also contains copper, and in terms of the number of vitamins, salmon far exceeds beef. For all vitamins A and B, salmon has a considerable advantage, and some vitamin content, such as vitamin A, is 340% higher than in meat.

In addition, experts have found that salmon contains less sugar than meat, but the glycemic index of products is almost the same. The calorie content of salmon is two times less than beef, so salmon is an ideal dietary product, tasty and satisfying.

Regarding proteins, beef is superior to salmon, but salmon contains easily digestible protein. According to nutritionists, the protein in meat requires more serious processing in our body, and radicals are often released. At the same time, this does not happen during the processing of fish protein.

Regarding calcium content, beef is richer than salmon - 18 milligrams per 100 grams versus 12 milligrams in fish. Salmon contains the maximum amount of phosphorus, sodium, tryptophan, threonine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, valine, and other substances. Meat also contains more zinc, vitamin E, histidine, and vitamin K. While salmon is a natural leader in all other elements. Therefore its use is much higher compared to meat.

Meat contains lousy cholesterol, clogs blood vessels, and adversely affects the cardiovascular system. And salmon, on the contrary, thanks to omega-3 fatty acids, helps to maintain the cardiovascular system and lower cholesterol levels.

Many studies show that meat increases the risk of gout, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and kidney and liver disease. In addition, there is an opinion that meat contributes to the development of cancerous tumors, so eating fatty meat is not recommended for people with health problems.

In addition, some religions, such as Judaism, forbid eating meat such as pork, horse, and rabbit meat. But Jewish diasporas add kosher salmon to their diet on an ongoing basis. Salmon is kosher if it is wild-caught with fins and scales. But also an important point is the kosherness of its production. Jews pay special attention to the kosherness of products, so cutting fish must be done in a clean workshop. Today, only one company in the world can guarantee 100% kosher salmon - the Vostochny Bereg / Bering seafood USA company. The production facilities of Vostochny Bereg / Bering seafood are located directly at the fish catch site, in Kamchatka, on the coast of the Bering Sea. Thanks to this arrangement, the products of the company's specialists are under close attention during the entire production process. Vostochny Bereg/Bering seafood has redesigned its production lines to be kosher certified to sell quality kosher salmon and kosher red caviar. And today, the company's products are produced in conditions of absolute purity, and the rabbinic mark "echsher" is on the packaging of the products. And thanks to this approach, the multi-million Jewish population of the world can consume guaranteed kosher salmon.

After a final comparison, we can conclude that salmon occupies a leading position. Therefore, many experts believe that fish is healthier than meat. Meat is advised to eat lean once or twice a week but can eat fatty salmon daily. Due to its low-calorie content, it will not affect the figure but will help maintain muscle mass. In addition, meat has low digestibility by the body, and while salmon is the champion, it is absorbed by 98% and digested in one hour. Seafood and fish provide the body with maximum energy, while after eating meat, you want to lie down and relax. In addition, biologists claim that with excessive meat consumption, the lousy breath may appear.

On the market today, meat grown on farms is most often sold. Therefore, various prebiotics, additives, and sometimes antibiotics are added to the feed for the growth of the animal. There is a risk of catching parasites or infections if the product has not been processed enough, so you should only buy meat on the market from trusted suppliers. Both core and fish of low-quality producers can harm our bodies. Therefore, if you choose between beef and wild salmon, you should choose fish, namely Kamchatka salmon.

Real wild kosher salmon is found only in Kamchatka. It is this unique peninsula that is famous for its purest waters and ecology, so the fish from Kamchatka is known all over the world. And the confirmed kosher salmon from the local producer "Vostochny Bereg / Bering seafood" won the hearts of consumers from Jewish communities and other peoples and faiths.

California Highway 1 Road Trip

Six weeks ago, Highway 1 fully reopened in Big Sur, following devastating mudslides in May 2017. After $54 million worth of repairs and the removal of millions of tons of earth, rocks, and debris, travelers can once again enjoy an uninterrupted drive along the gorgeous coastal highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

But it’s not just the views that make the trek one of the most famous road trips in the world. There’s also the food to contend with: Dotted along the winding route, you’ll find peppery smoked-fish tacos, juicy burgers smothered in eggs and melted cheese, and homemade doughnuts oozing with jelly.

Our version of this journey begins in Point Reyes Station, north of San Francisco. There, you’ll want to stock up on triple cream Mt Tam cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and scarf as many straight-from-the-bay oysters as you can get down. Your eating adventure will continue from there—you’d better start hungry.

  Point Reyes

Side Street Kitchen

The specialty at this year-old, bright, modern diner is the crispy skinned rotisserie chicken, fragrant with herbs and served half or whole with an array of sauces, including curried yogurt, salsa verde, and chimichurri rojo. The other specialty: puffy, sugar-coated, fruit-filled apple fritters. 60 4th St., Point Reyes Station

The Boat Oyster Bar

Hog Island Oyster Co. is famed for the oysters it pulls out of the bay and supplies to top dining rooms around the country. A reservation-only café on the water features those world-class bivalves; the menu changes often, but it frequently includes Hog Island’s singular kumamotos. You can get a dozen raw for $36; even better are the barbecued ones, grilled and dripping with chipotle bourbon garlic butter. 20215 Shoreline Highway, Marshall

Half Moon Bay Area

  La Costanera

Peruvian food is having a moment in the U.S., and La Costanera, with its wall of windows overlooking the water from a second-floor dining room, has been recognized by Michelin’s Bib Gourmand. The menu has a mix of classics such as antichuchos (grilled skewers) with marinated beef heart and pork belly; empanadas; tender beer-braised lamb shank; and lomo saltado (beef tenderloin with onions, soy sauce, and a fried egg, if you want one). 8150 Cabrillo Highway, Montara

Dad’s Luncheonette

Chef Scott Clark used to cook at San Francisco’s Michelin-three-starred Saison. He’s transformed a red-painted train caboose into a cozy, wood-lined diner with a small menu of comfort food favorites. The $12 hamburger sandwich has melted cheese, a soft egg, and red onion pickles on grilled white bread; the mushroom version substitutes maitakes for the grass-fed beef. 225 Cabrillo Highway South, Half Moon Bay

Sam’s Chowder House

Seafood makes up almost the entire menu at Sam’s, including a “Captains Platter” of oysters, clams, shrimp, poke, and ceviche; an appetizer of grilled sardines; steamed clams (with the option of linguine); and lobster rolls, “naked” with butter or “dressed” with aioli. At night, the place highlights fresh catches such as Pacific swordfish and local halibut. The seats on the deck offer a panoramic ocean view. 4210 Cabrillo Highway, Half Moon Bay

Hop Dogma Brewing Co.

The rotating array of craft brews at this locally popular beer hall might include Pyro’s Prost chili beer (pilsner brewed with jalapeño); Every Third Inquiry, a Bourbon barrel-aged stout; and the flagship Alpha Dank IPA. Guests can order food from nearby Lamas, a Peruvian and Mexican restaurant, and the tacos, burritos, and arroz con pollo will be delivered to the taproom. 270 Capistrano Rd., Half Moon Bay

Duarte’s Tavern

Dating back to 1894, when Frank Duarte bought the place for $12 in gold, this venerable restaurant specializes in a California version of Continental cuisine. The menu runs the gamut from shrimp cocktail to pork chops with fresh applesauce. The specialties are anything with artichokes, plus the cioppino, packed with clams, shrimp, cod and especially crab, which people drive down from San Francisco to eat. 202 Stage Rd.

Santa Cruz

The Picnic Basket

Set on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the picturesque luncheonette has an all-day menu with a powerful breakfast selection: golden-brown turnovers stuffed with seasonal fruit or Niman Ranch ham and cheese; an egg-potato-greens frittata sandwich on toast; and house-made jelly doughnuts. Later in the day, hot dogs and elbow macaroni and cheese turn up on the menu. The nearby Penny Ice Creamery, where everything is house-made under the same ownership, is equally popular. 125 Beach St.

Monterey Peninsula

The Meatery

A serious, whole-animal butcher shop with impressive cuts of meat on display, this white-tiled space also serves as a deli. Sandwiches range from a hefty Reuben to banh mi made with caramelized pork belly slices, pickled vegetables, a hit of cilantro, and kewpie mayo on a French roll. A highlight is the house corned beef with sauerkraut on rye. The hot food offerings change daily: On Sundays and Mondays, there’s buttermilk-fried chicken; on Thursdays, visitors line up for the baby back ribs. 1534 Fremont Blvd., Seaside

The Bench Restaurant

Set on the impossibly scenic Pebble Beach Golf Links 18th hole, the Bench has a crowd-pleasing menu that offers all kinds of pizza-styled flatbreads: with pepperoni; with ratatouille, fennel ricotta and heirloom tomatoes; and with bench bacon and grilled, pickled red onion. The 24-ounce short rib, the Smokey Joe, is smoked for 10 hours. Aside from the best views, the outdoor deck has fire-pit tables. 1700 17 Mile Dr., Pebble Beach

Aubergine at l’Auberge Carmel

Chef Justin Cogley operates one of the country’s best under-the-radar fine-dining restaurants. Set in a Relais & Châteaux property, the intimate dining room has a $175 tasting menu that combines local ingredients in unexpected ways: A Morro Bay oyster with caviar has a hit of sea water, and seared abalone is accompanied by romaine lettuce that’s been braised and sliced in thick rounds, with lobster-infused lettuce puree. Monte Verde at 7th Ave., Carmel

Big Sur

Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant

Amid the trees in the hills off the highway, this exceptional café produces terrific pizzas from the wood oven, with a charred, bready, chewy crust and such toppings as creamy greens, mushrooms and tangy taleggio, and red sauce meatballs. The place is first and foremost a bakery: The creamy lemon curd pie in a pistachio crust is addictive, as is any pastry in the display case. 47540 Highway 1

Sierra Mar at Post Ranch Inn

Post Ranch Inn, renowned for its modernist, cliffside, treehouse rooms overlooking the ocean, has a new manager, Gary Obligacion, formerly of Chicago’s celebrated Alinea. The property’s Sierra Mar restaurant is home to one country’s largest wine collections, with 14,000-plus bottles. It complements an elegant four-course tasting menu from which the seared foie gras has a garnish of hazelnuts and king salmon is paired with smoked split peas and sweet apple. 47900 Highway 1

The Sur House at Ventana Big Sur

In 2017, Ventana went through a multimillion-dollar renovation. The renovated Sur House restaurant now has outdoor fireside seating and a bar menu with smoky spice-rubbed chicken wings and open-faced tuna melt accented with pickled fennel. The dinner menu has deceptively simple dishes, such as grilled pork loin on a bed of jalapeño-spiked grits. The wine cellar is also notable: some 10,000 bottles with a focus on the Central Coast. 48123 Highway 1

San Luis Obispo

Ruddell’s Smokehouse

There’s not much barbecue along Highway 1. The notable exception is Ruddell’s, where founder Jim Ruddell set up shop in 2001 in a small building with a few tables outside. The place smokes albacore and salmon with a brown sugar and kosher salt rub; chicken is slow-cooked over hickory. The smoked seafood and poultry are available as tacos in a big French-roll sandwich or salad—and by the pound. 101 D St., Cayucas

Cracked Crab

In the surfing town of Pismo Beach, the unpretentious Cracked Crab has a blazing neon sign and lines stretching out the door. The menu changes according to availability of seafood and features an ocean’s worth of crab: dungeness cocktail with lime and avocado; puck-size, pan-seared lump blue crab cakes; and New England-style lobster rolls stuffed with crab instead. The seafood buckets offer the opportunity to mix and match wild Gulf shrimp, Alaskan crab, clams, mussels, and lobster tails; they go for $61 for one person and $79 for two and come with all the mallets and scissors you’ll need to extract the shellfish. 751 Price St., Pismo Beach

Santa Barbara

Jalama Beach Store & Grill

In Lompoc, the epicenter of Santa Barbara winemaking, is this grill, set inside a store that’s set inside the county park. The specialty is the Jalama burger: It’s quintessential Cali-style, with shredded lettuce, tomato, onions, special sauce, and a griddled bun. The burger has gotten so popular over its almost 40-year history that the name is trademarked. 9991 Jalama Rd., Lompoc

La Super-Rica Tacqueria

Famous for being name-checked by Julia Child, Super-Rica is a cheerful, white-and-turquoise stand with a large selection of options that feature stellar homemade tortillas. The tacos are filled with all kinds of grilled meats—chunks of spiced, brick-colored chorizo; adobado with tender strips of marinated pork. The Super-Rica Especial is made up cheese-stuffed green pasilla chiles that are roasted and draped over tortillas with marinated pork and more cheese, for $6. 622 N. Milpas St., Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara Shellfish Co.

At the end of a dock on the harbor, this photogenic counter started out selling local seafood almost 30 years ago. Customers can still buy fish from commercial fishermen here. (There’s also a robust online store with trays of uni and stone crab claws.) The chopped caesar comes with a choice of grilled, skewered shrimp or sweet scallops. There’s more local shrimp, coated with coconut and crispy fried, garnished with onion rings. Also highly recommended are the linguine studded with garlic-sauteed clams in the shell and the monumental, steamed two-pound crab, along with a selection of local wine and beer by the pitcher. 230 Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara

The Los Angeles Area

Malibu Farm

What started as a pop-up dining room by Helene Henderson in 2013 is now a farmers market-driven restaurant and café on the Malibu Pier, with outposts in Miami and Hawaii. The all-day café at the end of the dock has a lightbulb-lit menu that boasts a pile-up of Swedish pancakes with whipped cream and whatever the seasonal berries are, as well as kale caesar and BLTs with lemon aioli brushed on whole wheat. Down the pier, a slightly more serious version of the restaurant offers a tofu, spinach, and tomato scramble on weekend mornings, and nachos, featuring blue corn chips laden with black beans, melty cheese, and drizzles of sour cream in the evenings. 23000 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu

Tallula’s

Chef Jeremy Fox, who heads up the nearby vegetable-focused Rustic Canyon, now puts a creative spin on the Mexi-Cali dining room. In a colorful space decorated with hanging plants, Fox uses exceptional local corn, served Mexican-style with smoky chipotle aioli, and accents black-cod tacos with malt tartar sauce in tender, house-made tortillas. A daily taco special is dreamed up by rotating cooks in the kitchen. The serious bar program features mezcal Manhattans on draft, as well as the obligatory margaritas. 118 Entrada Dr., Santa Monica

Father’s Office

Chef Sang Yoon began serving one of the—if not the—country’s first gourmet burgers almost 20 years ago. The Office Burger is made from freshly ground, dry-aged beef, so it’s got a deep, meaty flavor that’s further accentuated by sweet caramelized onions, bacon, gruyere, and blue cheese. Accompanying fries, standard or sweet potato, are presented in a mini-shopping cart. Father’s Office is equally known for pouring dozens of local craft beers. 1018 Montana Ave., Santa Monica
