Yum

Last night we had dinner in a cozy neighborhood restaurant that was last year's Restaurant of the Year in Richmond. It's focus is on local fresh food. The menu changes daily and my choice was Rock Shrimp cakes. In this region crab cakes are quite common but these patties were unusual, made with shrimp and no discernible filler. Since I ordered the small plate, I expected some dainty little morsels. Instead I was served these two hearty cakes with a remoulade sauce, accompanied by local greens. As you can imagine, I could eat only one and had the second for dinner tonight. My caption says it all.

allie, great capture. It looks very good. I am not familiar with the sauce. It looks like some type of jam or berries. What was it?

@sarasdadandmom Remoulade is like a seasoned mayonnaise, especially good with seafood.

I am not a seafood eater.but I do like Scallops, shrimp and i could eat crab cakes. These look quite good.

Excellent shot. I have to stop looking at these food shots at night, they make me hungry.

This looks amazing! Which restaurant are you referring to? I love going to different places in Richmond that I haven't been to before - I get tired of the same ol', same ol' after a while!
