They are not eaten the way you'd think. Take those lettuce leaves and mint that comes out on the plate, wrap them around the nems, dip the whole thing into the light, spicy dipping sauce, and munch away. It's a unique flavor, very refreshing and perfect for warm weather. I don't miss 'em. This is a fine and large salad.
Different salads appear at dinner and make good starters.
They also have a bunch of cornmeal-fried oysters scattered across a green salad with pine nuts and a few other contrasts. The bouillabaisse here is terrific. The seafoods are shrimp, mussels, indeterminate fish, and a strange kind of squid, about which more in a moment. Great stuff, but a long lunch. The squid they use here in the bouillabaisse, as well as in a few other items, is not the same as the fried-spider little calamari we see around town.
