Ramona & Jim: Pescado Empapelado (A fillet of fish marinated with their original spices, lime juice, olive oil and sauvignon blanc, with bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Wrapped and steamed and served with rice and vegetables), iced tea with lime slices
Jim: Tostada de Jaiba (flat, crispy tortilla with crab, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, & lime juice)
Shared: tres leches cake
Despite our pledge to write only about new restaurants we visit, we decided to write this one up because we both tried a dish we hadn't had there before and it was so delicious we couldn't resist adding it to our blog. Last year, on a visit to friends in Corpus Christi, Jim had this dish and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were able to choose the fish from the list of "fish-of-the-day," and we chose mahi-mahi. The sweet meat of this species was perfect for the light, white wine sauce and and the fresh, hot steamed veggies, including broccoli, squash, red, orange, and green bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Does this sound perfect? It was! We are on a "lowered fat diet" right now -- we try to keep our fat grams below 20 a day, and we had done so well on Saturday, we thought we could splurge on a shared piece of El Siete's wonderful tres leches cake. We were under 20 grams of fat -- with a few to spare. This is the way to diet! Saving up and ending a wonderful meal with a delicious dessert.
It seems that El Siete Mares gets better every time we visit. One of our new year's resolutions is to visit more often.
-Jim and Ramona
