I like Dry Dock Fish Co. Idk if they’re the “very” best, but I trust them—seafood is straight from the dock (no middleman), not frozen and they have detailed info about their products.

Simple stir fry of edamame, carrots, baked tofu, and boiled peanuts. Added a little doubanjiang as well. Sauce was soy, sugar, water, white pepper, shaoxing wine, and a little maple syrup.

I bought the peanuts from cold section at 99 ranch. Don’t have time to boil peanuts with star anise and a little salt lol

Also bought some fava beans and shepherds purse! So I’ll be channeling my Shanghainese roots.

Can be eaten warm or cold.

interesting they don’t even mention swan oyster when this was originally called an “ode to swan crudo” before they got semi-cancelled.
