Fresh Seafood - At 8,200 feet

On a clear Saturday evening we meet Burt and Evelyn at Capitán & Co. restaurant.   This is a small restaurant in El Centro opened by Chef Orly and his wife Julia.  Chef Orly also runs a seafood distribution company, supplying some of the best restaurants in Quito and Cuenca.  It helps that although Cuenca is 8,200 feet in elevation, it is less than three hours from the coast.

Chef Orly and Julia appear to do all the work this evening, but with only five or six tables in the whole restaurant it is manageable.  We start with an appetizer of deep fried shrimp and squid (calamari).  The seafood is lightly battered and very fresh.  Wonderful.  For entrees Evelyn decides to repeat the appetizer, Burt has langoustino, William selects shrimp and rice and I choose the corvina in garlic.  I may be biased, but I think the corvina is the best.  All our plates are cleaned.

It's a great evening with good friends, good food and good wine.
