Mabel’s Gone Fishing
Seafood
A dog's memory animates this seafood spot—its name, its warmth, its unstudied charm—where the kitchen treats local catch with California-Iberian clarity. The swordfish schnitzel, crispy and brined with salsa verde and tonnato, arrives alongside caper berries and fennel in a lesson on how restraint and brightness can be the same thing.
