This fine Friday evening found us at Anchor and Hope, enjoying happy hour with a few friends we hadn't seen in awhile. $1 oysters, $4 Abita, and $5 champagne. What's not to like? Today's oysters were especially plump and creamy. I forget the exact name; sweet points? They were from the British Columbia and really hit the spot.
But the crowning moment of the night was when Anchor and Hope's famous seafood specialty appeared at our table. This uni dish has graced the pages of many newspapers and magazines since Anchor and Hope's opening night. My first taste did not disappoint! Encased in what has to be the biggest uni shell I've ever seen was a bed of buttery, creamy, almost runny mashed potatoes studded with crab meat and slices of sweet uni. It's one of those dishes that sounds so simple but demands exact precision and quite some imagination on the part of the chef. Kudos, Anchor and Hope, for a very happy hour indeed.
