Have something to say? Lookout welcomes letters to the editor, within our policies, from readers. Guidelines here. Restaurants at the Santa Cruz Wharf are keen to highlight menu items that have evolved far beyond the clam chowder bread bowls, burgers and deep-fried white fish that we ordered as children when visiting the sea lions. These much-loved dishes are still available at many locations — no need to strike fear in the hearts of traditionalists — but sashimi-grade ahi poke, 12-hour-roasted tamarind pork and broiled oysters with spicy guacamole are quickly gaining rave reviews from a savvy new generation of diners. The elevated menus have already proved effective at three well-loved restaurants. Prior to the pandemic, anchor tenants Riva Fish House, Firefish Grill and Stagnaro Brothers each served more than a thousand meals on a busy Saturday. But two of the three have been closed: Stagnaro's due to the pandemic business climate and Firefish after a major fire gutted the restau

C afé Cecilia in Hackney, east London, is indisputably the most fashionable restaurant in London. Not because it is a favourite hangout of designers, photographers and models, nor because its menu of simple, seasonal dishes is bang on trend – although both things are true – but because it is the creation of fashion royalty. Its talented head chef and owner is Max Rocha, son of Hong Kong-born designer John, who helped with the decor. Max's sister Simone, also a fashion designer, did the staff uniforms, and his Irish mother Odette's influence can be seen on every plate of food. "The roots of the food we make comes from the food I grew up with my mum cooking," says Max, 33, who was raised in Dublin. Related articles

Welcome to the Fish Fry Spotlight, a weekly feature that will run through Good Friday, highlighting a different seafood restaurant or community fish fry. One of Macomb County's oldest restaurants, Terry's Terrace, is also known as a go-to for fish and chips, and for good reason. Five weeks into this feature, you'd be correct to assume that I've grown a bit tired of fried fish. Thankfully this Harrison Township restaurant has a stellar version that renewed my love for this seafood entrée. Terry's Terrace offers three versions of fish and chips made with Atlantic cod: two beer-battered and a lighter version coated with seasoned breadcrumbs. All come with sturdy, crispy fries and your choice of salad, soup of the day or creamy, sweet shredded coleslaw. Their coleslaw is so popular they can go through a five-gallon batch in a single Friday. One of the beer-battered versions is made with Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and the other is a rotating craft beer batter. Last week

For the first 50 years or so, lobster rolls were more or less a localized specialty, available up and down the New England shore at clam shacks and other seaside restaurants. While those "in the know" were aware of how great lobster rolls were, it took decades for the general population to catch on.  In the 1970s, a restaurant called Red's Eats in Wiscasset, Maine, which had already been selling its famous lobster roll for many years, started to promote it heavily. Later, further south in New England in the 1980s, Jasper White debuted a version of the lobster roll at Summer Shack in Massachusetts, also helping the item rise in popularity. Once word caught on, the sandwich spread nationwide. Another boost in popularity came about in 1996. That year, a version of the Maine lobster roll appeared at Pearl Oyster Bar in New York City. And as they say, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. With its rise in notoriety in the northeast, the entire coun

Nick Warren "We made this from scratch, from the first plate of steel on the tables, to this," says Milton Lauscher III, assembly foreman for Donjon Shipbuilding and Repair, gesturing towards the impressive four-story vessel looming over us. We are standing near the gate separating Erie Bay from the east graving dry dock where the massive tank barge, Sea-Chem 1, is now floating, nearly completed. "That is what we are most proud of." Clear pride of accomplishment shows on his face and permeates the facility as workers scramble to put the finishing touches on the double-hulled chemical tank barge. And it probably has for every one of the last 800 or so days, since construction began in July of 2014 after Donjon won the bid to build for the company Seabulk Tankers. Sea-Chem will be an ocean-going vessel carrying liquid chemical or petroleum cargo. A few dimensions and its weight are all you need to understand this enormous achievement.
