I pass Tadich on my way elsewhere, but have not felt the need to go in. I can get disappointing petrale sole elsewhere.

I read it and agree….and those prices. If you want a nice petrale sole, better to cook it yourself. It’s not difficult, just don’t over cook it…respect it.
If you get Apple News+, it gets most Chron articles…just not all. I can’t open the top burger article.

And petrale sole is one of the least expensive in the market, $9/lb today at Berkeley Bowl.

a new type of crab trap that doesn’t interfere with migrating whales may allow extension of crab season.
This year, however, a pilot program is expanding to allow a select number of crab fishermen to test a new style of crab trap that will prevent migrating whale entanglements — one of the primary reasons why Dungeness crab season has closed early in recent years.

Good stuff on the new crab traps…
But the traps being tested eliminate the need for rope lines that trail from the ocean floor to the surface. They’re called pop-up traps; the crab pots settle onto the bottom of the ocean as before, but the rope is coiled with a buoy inside. A signal from a boat triggers the buoy to be released with the rope, allowing fishermen to pull up traps as usual. When the pilot program first began last year, just two fishermen were approved to try out the new traps, but now more than two dozen boats have joined in for the season. “This program has a long way to go,” says Lindsey Qualman, head of growth at seafood purveyor Four Star Seafood. “But it’s one bright spot in trying to find ways to mitigate one of the reasons for [fishing season] closures.”

The only La Victoria outside SJ is just a few miles from me. I went there a couple of months ago before chorus rehearsal, and it was like visiting an old friend. I even like the beans on the tacos.

California wine sales down
from SF Eater:
- The California wine industry — along with the worldwide wine industry — is undergoing an “unprecedented downturn,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports. A report by wine industry analytics company Gomberg Fredrikson notes that wine consumption is down by 8.7 percent as of 2023, in part because millennial and Gen Z consumers drink less alcohol, and in part as the alcohol market widens to include hard seltzer and canned cocktails. Wine’s decline follows a large spike in sales spurred by the lockdown period of the pandemic in 2020, which in turn led to increased production at wineries. Demand then decreased as customers bought too much and slowed their purchases; restaurants also decreased their total purchases from wineries during the same period. *

“Ghalib says it’s debated whether the coffee plant originated in Ethiopia or Yemen, but it was Yemen, with its critical ports on the coast of the Red Sea, that cultivated and mass produced the crop and became a dominant exporter of coffee throughout Europe, Asia, and beyond dating as far back as the Ottoman Empire.”

from Alix Wall at JWeekly -
Kitchen Doula, an Oakland business that provides nutrient-dense food for postpartum women and for others who are healing or grieving, was founded almost on a whim.
I was treated to two of Kitchen Doula’s popular dishes: a chicken pozole verde ($30) and an Ethiopian red lentil stew ($30) with the spice blend berbere from Oaktown Spice Shop. Both stews were perfectly spiced without being too spicy. The dishes were exactly as billed, delicious and nourishing, the kind of food you would need if depleted but probably wouldn’t have the energy to make yourself.
