[NYC] Grand Central Oyster Bar

Grand Central Terminal

作為一個旅遊景點和的travel中途站

像Kings Cross St Pancras一樣，座擁五花八門的食市

其中歷史最悠久之一的便是Grand Central Oyster Bar

當我在research哪裡有出色的seafood時，

GCOB came up as an "old school Oyster Bar" that remains a local favourite

甫步入餐廳，進入眼簾的是紅白格子枱布和橙黃色的燈光

懷舊中帶點輕鬆的感覺

特意邀在紐約升學的好姊妹來吃個暢快

食客由一家大小到整枱滿頭白髮的都有

Today's menu 上的菜式非常多，看得我眼花撩亂

冷熱生熟樣樣皆有，it's like a classic seafood bible

由seafood stew到grilled tuna steak，到fish and chips到lobster roll

當男友和友人在喝湯時我才好不容易的作出抉擇....

Ordinary Bread and sesame crackers served with Butter

Starters

Manhattan Clam Chowder ($5.95)

友人

濃厚

的周打蜆湯

找不回這湯的原名 （因為現在的menu除下了這味）

這是男朋友的冷番茄湯，像Spanish gazpacho一樣，配點玉米粒和洋蔥碎等

因為這個湯蠻thick的關係 (and it's cold)，我嚐的時候有在吃salsa般的感覺...

Oyster Platter (about $2-3@)

All locally sourced (ie within the states), not bad overall

but still nothing compared to the ones in France...

Mains

Grilled Tuna steak with vegetables (~$28)

男朋友的protein補品哈哈哈

Personally 我認為 tuna steak 很少可以烹調得很出類拔萃

除了toro外我一般也絕少會吃吞拿魚

這是近來吃過較好一點的.

It's tuna afterall.

Fried New Bedford Sea scallops with tartar sauce and French fries ($25.95)

薄薄香酥的麵衣，甜美肥大的scallop

This is as good as it can go really.

Maine Lobster Roll on a toasted potato pun with Coleslaw and Sweet potato chips ($27.95)

potato bun軟綿綿的 （說實吃不出這和一般的熱狗包有可分別hmm...），

配上份量十足且perfectly seasoned的龍蝦肉（不用我起殼真好!）

簡單卻滋味極了

coleslaw也很出色，沙律醬的比例剛好，不會太膩

Coleslaw 和 sweet potato chips都是小女的favourite，

加上這人生最lux的sandwich

真箇是心滿意足，回味無窮呢

加上一支白酒，三人買單好像是~$210

不便宜，但吃得高興

難得一聚，實屬千金難買

If you are looking for classic seafood cooking, this is probably your best bet.
