Yellowfin Steak and Fish House

Ahhh Happy Hour, which, as we all know, can stretch over hours or the course of an afternoon/evening and then some....

And you sure don't get cheated on Happy Hour at Yellowfin. We (my Mom, my sister, Martha and myself) went for lunch and ventured into the middle of half-priced for both appetizers and bottles of wine...in other words...Happy Hour!!! Who needs a lunch menu when you have this extensive list to select from (Appetizer Menu)?  We ended up ordering the Hand-Cut Fries, Coconut Crunchy Shrimp, Crispy Calamari, the Seafood Flatbread Pizza, and Fish Tacos. Plus a bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Chardonnay to add just the right touch of fruit and oakiness that Sonoma-Cutrer chars are known for.

So the Fish Tacos...most eclectic looking plate of them that I believe I have ever been served, How about you? 

The flour tortillas were soft, hot and puffy; the cusabi(?) was a surprising mix of mild wasabi heat balanced by the cool of the cucumbers; the vegies were fresh and not intrusive; the fish blackened on the outside and tender and moist on the inside; didn't even bother with the red squiggle thingy. The limes, though looking fresh, didn't yield much in the way of juice, but it wasn't missed all that much with the other flavors blending well and the Chardonnay providing plenty of fruit. The wine went so well with everything that it was hard to not order another bottle, but one of us had to drive, and it was my car so I will have to wait until next time on that particular notion...

Oh yes...happy hours, indeed....it would have been so easy to while away an hour or three, talking with Martha and Mom, running up a sizable but equitably worthwhile tab, and watching the sun go down in the west over the South River...
