Here are some pictures of the food enjoyed during our stay in Tofino, over Remembrance day weekend. First, Roar at the local Hotel Zed which is a newer place that has become a must attend for a meal or two. The appetizer was the seafood antipasto board which had excellent smoked salmon, marinated octopus, pickled scallops, and flavoured tuna with chips, hot sauce, capers, and pickled cauliflower.
Duck confit radiatori pasta (pulled duck confit, green olive, oyster mushroom + tomato ragout, preserved lemon, shaved parmesan). A wonderful and fun dish with complementary flavours.
One night we had food that everyone had brought to the townhouse we rented. I made pasta earlier in the week as well as a simple ragout sauce.
Shed has an excellent tuna poke bowl that is a favorite for a lunch with lots of nice textures and flavours.
Lastly Wolf in the Fog, which is always a treat to eat here. Started with potato string wrapped local oysters lightly deep fried. We pretty much always order this as the taste of everything combined is a delight on the tongue.
My wife and I shared a seafood salad, another must have when we eat here. Local mushrooms and seaweed, puffed rice, daikon, sesame mayo, miso chili oil. You feel so good when eating it.
Smoked steelhead trout with buttermilk mashed potatoes, beets, chard, salal berry, and juniper. I love trout for the fatty oils inside when it is cooked just right. Combined with the other items it blends wonderfully.
For dessert, apple terrine with crème fraîche, oat crumble, bee pollen tuile, caramelized honey.
Tofino always has great talent making great food. Its always tempting to stay longer to sample more. Not pictured was the chocolate box my wife and I each bought from Chocolate Tofino, another must see and buy things from.
