M's take: The snapper was really perfectly cooked, light and flaky. The lobster mash was rich and full of lobster flavor (and meat). The dish as a whole was very rich and filling, but tasty.
A's take: The fish was flaky and cooked to perfection. The lobster mash was very rich, and I thought it was the best aspect of the dish, and you could definitely taste the truffle oil. The brown butter sauce was actually lighter than I expected. It was not as buttery as I thought I would be considering the actual ingredients. All together, the dish tasted great.
Since our meal was seafood-heavy and not very vegetable-heavy, we decided to get a side of Applewood bacon brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts also came with onions and granny smith apples.
M's take: I liked the brussels sprouts, which came sliced in quarters. The apples were an interesting addition but worked pretty well. It was nice having some veggies to add to our seafood meal.
A's take: Brussels sprouts work very well with bacon which is why you often see the two paired. The brussels sprouts tend not to have much flavor which is why they need a flavoring agent like the bacon to give it life. I felt that the onions were lost a little in the dish, but the apples were very surprising to me. Normally granny smith apples are very tart, but after being cooked with the brussels sprouts and bacon, the tartness was tempered greatly, and they added a nice texture to the dish and also an added flavor dimension.
This ends our savory dish posts. We were quite satisfied with our meal at Catch and couldn't wait to see what was for dessert!
