Hello again, friends. I hope you're in the mood for some extralegal dining, because the next installment of Lazy Bear is now on the schedule. After doing many vegetarian dinners in a row, I'm happy to report that this dinner will include healthy doses of meat, including cute wittle bunny wabbits. BUT, vegetarian substitutions are available. A tentative menu is at right, but it will likely undergo some changes before the big show. And best of all, dinner is now FREE with your suggested donation of $65/person!
We have 12 spots available each night (Friday, 03/26 and Saturday 03/27). It's strictly BYOB, though I'm happy to discuss possible wine or beer pairings. Reserve your spots by replying to david@lazybearsf.com with which date you'd like to come, the number in your party, and a detailed description of any dietary restrictions of anyone in your party. We should be able to accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions, but vegans are out of luck this time.
If you know anyone else who might like to come, feel free to forward this announcement to them. If you know anyone who would like to be on the Lazy Bear mailing list, please have them send an email to david@lazybearsf.com, letting me know how they heard about it.

Love your blog! I have a question about your rolled/unrolled skate: Where do you buy it? I LOVE skate, and am interested to know if there are sustainable options for buying skate wings in SF. Is this something you consider?

Sustainability is definitely something I consider. I was under the impression that skate was not in the least bit endangered and was pretty much sustainable no matter where caught.
I buy a lot of fish from the San Francisco Fish Company at the Ferry Building. I have a great relationship with one of the fishmongers there, Bill. But these days I get a lot of my stuff (particularly if there's something specific I need, or if I need a large quantity) from Monterey Fish, which is deep within Pier 33. I'm not even sure they have a website, but their number is (415)956-1965. They're mostly wholesale, but they'll do retail, too. Their hours are super weird, though. 3am-11am.

Cool, good to know. In terms of the sustainability issue, Seafood Watch (which I know is one of the more conservative voices) says that skate is a no-can-do: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_factsheet.aspx?gid=73
I tried looking on The Google, and it was difficult to find a clear answer. The consensus I got was that people generally didn't know of truly sustainable options. There were some people who said that the concerns were blown out of proportion. If anyone knows more, I'd be interested in hearing the arguments/data.
Cheers,
Ben
