Our Culinary Delights in DC

While we were in DC, my brother, the excellent host that he is, took us to some of his favorite places. We started our culinary tour of DC with some Greek tapas. I have had italian and spanish tapas, this was my first time having Greek tapas.


These puffy pitas came right after we sat down, and they were so light, warm, and soft. I was amused most by how puffy these pitas were!



After tapas, we went to the fish market. This was not just any ordinary fish market. My brother told that because the vendors have their storefronts half on the water, half on the harbor, they do not have to follow the usual restaurant regulations so they can serve food out in the open. There we had fresh shucked oysters and clams. The clams were a bit fishy but the osyters were fat and juicy!




And..my brother saved the best for last. After the marathon we rewarded ourselves with a plate piled with blue crabs at a little hole in the wall crab house in Bethesda, Maryland. We got little hammers with our meal and before we knew it we were busy cracking our whole crabs with some beers on the side. It was amazing!

Thanks bro for being an awesome host and giving us a glimpse of some of your favorite places so far!
