A happy discovery in San Francisco: La Mar Cebicheria Peruiana. I had been trying to go to the Slanted Door for new wave Vietnamese, but it was lined out the door even though past 9 when I got there. No loss: La Mar had wonderful fresh fish, clean flavours and nice spicy aji amarillo peppers. I had half orders of a couple of kinds of cebiche (criollo and nikei) and a causa limena (crab, potatoes, aji amarillo, quail egg, and lime -- see pic.) sitting at the bar. Excellent food, and though the service was quite slow, the room is lively, and the cooks behind the bar friendly (willing to put up with painfully unpracticed Spanish) and actually from Peru!
