Saint Julivert - A Timeless Seafood Bistro 🌟

Saint Julivert - Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, New York This old-school seafood bistro is a Brooklyn classic. It’s one of those places that’s been around forever and is always buzzing. My first time here was a mix of hits and misses—it really depends on your personal taste. 🐟 Whipped Mackerel A spicy fish paste served with bread. I quite enjoyed it, but my partner thought it was a bit fishy. The bread, though, was delicious! 🥪 🦐 Wild Shrimp This is a must-order dish. Even I, who usually avoid raw seafood, found it really tasty. It’s light, refreshing, and the shrimp are super bouncy with no fishy taste at all. 🦐 🍝 King Oyster Mushroom Soba This one was a miss for me. The clams were just too fishy, and there was no saving it. The mushrooms were good, but the dish overall was a bit too salty. 🍄 🐙 Squid a la Plancha Don’t skip this one! It’s like a Western version of stir-fried squid, with a nice sear and three different sauces that blend together perfectly. It’s a delightful surprise! 🦑 🍚 Venetian Style Risotto I absolutely loved this dish, but my partner thought it was a bit fishy. The eel bits were so subtle but added a wonderful umami flavor. It was the perfect comfort food to end the meal. 🍔 🍨 Zabaglione This Italian dessert has a strong wine flavor. It wasn’t my cup of tea—it was a bit too bitter for my taste. Maybe try something else from the dessert menu. 🍼 When it comes to seafood, whether it’s fishy or not is all about personal preference. But the seafood here is definitely fresh and pairs well with drinks. The service and ambiance are cozy and charming. It’s perfect for a summer evening, enjoying some seafood outdoors and then taking a stroll around the neighborhood. #NewYork #NYCDateRestaurant #NYCExploration 🌆🌟
