Carousel Candy Taffy - Monterey

Finally got around to eating my souvenirs from California!

Salt water taffy was $10.50/lb

I bought about $4 worth

Some flavours: caramel, mango, watermelon, strawberry

The taffy was really good - I actually wish I bought more. It wasn't too sweet and the flavours really stood out.

Sotto Mare Oysteria & Seafood - SF

SF from Sausalito

Back in SF

 

 

Oysters

I can't help but notice how many oysters I eat in SF every time I visit - I wonder if that says something about me or if it says something about the city. 

Crab Cioppino

It's like a hearty stew of crab, shrimp, clams and other assorted seafood in this amazing tomato broth. 

It's definitely something you have to share with someone. Highly recommended!

Bread bowl Clam Chowder and a half chicken salad sandwich $12.98

I had to get their famous sourdough bread bowl with soup and while the sourdough was really good, I actually thought the chowder I had in Santa Barbara was better.
