Snails and Salmon burgers? Yes please!
Feeling lazy the other night, I decided to pick up some escargot already prepared with garlic-herb butter at The Lobster Place at Chelsea Market at 75 Ninth Avenue in Manhattan.
Also available already prepared were salmon burgers,really nicely seasoned, substantial, and under 5 dollars a piece!
The snails were super tender, baked in a hot 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Although my girlfriend was initially fearful of the texture, I was psyched to see that she actually enjoyed the buttered gastropods, eating a total of three!! The salmon burgers were sauteed on both sides for about 5 minutes and came out perfectly, with a very meaty, burger like texture. I garnished with some cabbage, tarter sauce, tomato and red onion. Yum.
