I haven’t had that experience. I can still pick the slices up.
One of my all-time favorite taste treats. Butterfish from Roy’s. It looks burnt in the photo, but it was perfection. Sadly, the last Roy's in AZ is closing early next year and there will be only three left on the mainland, two in CA, one in FL, after there once having been 20. All the more reason to go to HI, I guess.

Home made lump crabcakes, remoulade sauce, salad greens with home grown tomatoes and peppers and good wine. All cooked by my first born son, who worked for many years as a chef. His plating is always beautiful and his food always delicious. Great evening

I like the plain miniature ones with the various sauces as well as the regular filled ones as well. Shrimp, liver, pork, yu-tiao and lo-han-chai for me.

I remember going to Roy’s 33 years ago while on vacation in Maui. In fact, I fell in love with the butterfish. Shortly thereafter, I went to the Roy’s in NY. It just wasn’t the same. That species must be native to Hawaii. I don’t recall seeing it on another menu.

Wouldn’t we all! I remember going to Roy’s 33 years ago while on vacation in Maui. In fact, I fell in love with the butterfish. Shortly thereafter, I went to the Roy’s in NY. It just wasn’t the same. That species must be native to Hawaii. I don’t recall seeing it on another menu.

BTW, it’s supposedly Alaskan black cod.

We eat at Roy’s in Sf. We don’t go to Roy’s in Hawaii - we go to other chains that aren’t in Sf such as duke’s & their crew, merriman’s, and monkey pod. Plus one night at Morimoto’s which is also not in Sf.
i love Roy’s. I just try to eat at places that don’t have an outpost 2 miles from home.
I also love Disneyland sooooooo much.
tonight we will enjoy bagels and smoked fishes.

Filet mignon is usually my least favorite cut of steak because it can be a little bland. Somehow a package of filets caught my eye today at Costco so I thought what the heck. I grilled one tonight---perfectly medium rare and it was absolutely delicious in addition to being like " buttah". I topped it with balsamic grilled onions.

A little OT - when I was a kid, I kept complaining that my steak didn't have enough flavor or fat; my grandma got so tired of my whining, she just placed a cup of melted butter, told me to dip my steak in it and be quiet (she actually used "shut-up, if I recall).

I wouldn't say it's unheard of, but not common, that's for sure. Personally, as much as I like butter, it's a tad too far for me. Same with crab or lobster. I don't mind a little au jus on the side.
