Oh. My. Cod.
Posted by Audie Metcalf on Jul 12, 2010

Hey Guys!

Normally we here at Voltaggio Brothers like to bring you insidery updates on our friends Michael and Bryan, but today it seems that both boys are just busy bees, hunkering down in their respective kitchens, and generally being workaholics. Neither brother blackened a thumb or welcomed an electric car to their restaurant this weekend, leaving me with little explosive new info for all their fans.

So, I thought I would take this opportunity to speak about something very important. Something life-affirming. Something I like to call Miso Marinated Black Cod from Katsuya Hollywood.

This sweet and salty fish is delivered to the table on a giant banana leaf - the crisped, almost maple exterior gives way to its tender, buttery flesh, the Miso marinade infusing each bite with a dark, umami kiss. Annnnnnd If I keep writing words like this, I'm going to have to make a reservation for myself. Tonight. Again.   

For all our west coast compatriots, please book your table this very minute. For all you non west coasters...well...stop not living in Southern California. We have a lot of excellent things here, so please begin your relocation process. Thanks so much.

Let us know all about it if you make the trek to Katsuya. Alternatively, have you had other thrilling cod experiences? Share them with us in the comment section.  

Thanks, everyone!

Pretty sure this is just Nobu's famous recipe, no?  Any distinction?  The Miso Black Cod is, I believe, Nobu's best-known dish, and I've seen it imitated at a lot of different sushi-type places around New York.  It's an astonishingly simple plate. 

Matt... you sound pretty smug... apparently a chef?  a food critic?  or just Critical?    The dish sounds delish... I don't care who makes it, what it is called or where it originated from.unless of course Voltaggio Brothers invented it, then it very Important  :)
