I Like Spike!
12.14.11
Fresh-grilled tasty fish, reasonable prices, served in a casual setting, what more could a seafood lover over ask for?
Spike’s Fish House, a popular fast-casual eaterie in Rancho Santa Margarita just opened its second location in Laguna Niguel and we’re fans—great ingredients, flavors and healthy options.
Spike’s has something for everyone, if you favor simple dishes, try the fish house plate that features a ½ pound of a grilled fish, like the panko style tilapia, or fresh wild salmon, with a choice of white or brown rice, and seasonal vegetables, chopped and sautéed fresh; or indulge in delicious battered cod fish and chips.
All dishes come with house made sauces like our favorite Spike’s sauce, a Greek yogurt with smoked paprika; poke sauce; chimichurri; pico de gallo; and lemon pesto aioli.
At Spike's we also highly recommend the Cajun salmon slider; Hawaiian ahi poke nachos; and fresh ceviche. Prices are reasonable from $2.95 for a taco or a slider, to $9.99 for tilapia fish house plate. Spike’s offers beer and wine too.
Spike’s Fish House is now open daily in Laguna Niguel (27020 Alicia Parkway #D), and in Racho Santa Margarita (30465 Avenida De Las Flores #C). For more information, including full menu, visit spikesfishhouse.com.
Sweet Honey in Aliso
11.22.11
It won’t get much greener than this. Aliso Creek Inn & Golf Course in Laguna Beach is debuting a hyper-local garden to grow herbs and vegetables for the kitchen and the produce will debut in the spring. Another green initiative at the hotel, Aliso Creek also has a bee-hive to produce local wildflower honey.
Executive Chef Jennifer Gonzalez and Bee Keeper and catering director Andrea Wilde are implementing organic gardening with local soil and compost from the property to provide tasty vegetables and herbs, and the local honey make a fabulous addition to the culinary programs.
Aliso Creek Inn & Golf Course is an 83 acre, 60 suite resort at 31106 South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. 949.499.2271, or visit www.alisocreekinn.com.
