BlackSalt Fish Market & Restaurant

 Location: 4883 MacArthur Blvd., Washington, DC

With my boyfriend for dinner,as usual, we started with two appetizers: Bigeye Tuna Tartare and Seared Day Boat Scallops. The Tuna Tartare consists of: Avocado, Toasted Cashews, Chili Aioli, and Citrus Ponzu. It was OK but nothing so extravagant.  The avocado was placed below the tartare..so it was a bit difficult to fork it, becuase the tartare just kept falling apart. Seared Day Boat Scallops were perfectly cooked! The sauce was bold but not overpowering the scallops. I used bread and wiped the plate clean! Sauce was delish. For entree, I got the Bouillabaisse, which was in a saffron/lobster broth with: Monkfish, Sea Scallop, Oysters,Blue Shell Mussels,  Gulf Shrimp and potatoes. It was a mess to eat. I was exhausted after taking the oysters and mussels out of the shell and peeling the shrimp. When I got to the soup, again it was bold, however, after 3 spoonfuls it was unbearable to finish. I stuffed it down...bleh. On top of that potatoes were undercooked, I picked them out of the bowl.

Would I go back? No, nothing impressive. Oh, the waiter was very odd. Possibly becuase we were such a young couple...but why don't you treat us the same as any other couple,  we are paying customers! Not worth the time or money...

Rate: 2.5/5
