Salmon and Bear in Zetland, New South Wales

This place is deceivingly good (6 Defries Avenue, +61-2-9662-8188). It's a casual seafood place that I normally wouldn't have considered, but a local teammate suggested it for dinner tonight, and I was very happy. See, they specialize in local fish, but grilled in a Spanish Josper-like Mibrasa oven. And it produces some wonderful results, like that alphonsino above, whose tasty skin came out nice and crispy, all while the meat was perfumed with the smokiness of the grill. I didn't get to try their namesake New Zealand salmon, but the tender barramundi was good too, as was the fatty kingfish. The variety of sides like summer slaw were light and refreshing too. Seriously, it's the simplest food that's the best, and I'm just disappointed that honest places like this aren't more common around the world.
