I’ve never been a huge fan of fish with the exception of sushi due to a fish bone swallowing incident in my youth.  As I mature, albeit slowly, I am starting to accept and enjoy fish with some level of frequency.  Seafood fans who visit or live in Washington DC and the surrounding area need to take the time to visit Hook at 3241 M St, NW in the heart of Georgetown.  Their concept is simply, treat each guest like they are the only diners in the restaurant and provide quality ingredients with creativity.  Like their Tuna Tar-tare wrapped in a crisp Parmesan crusted wafer, which I couldn’t get enough of or the sea food combination platter with lobster, oysters, prawns, and muscles which come with 3 sauces for dipping.  Trust me and try the vinaigrette with everything on the combination platter.  The fried foods can be a bit oily and with my New Years resolution to eat better, I opted to pass on anything fried.  I was in luck because their calamari is grilled and you can taste the smoky charred flavor in every bite and this calamari was not chewy like you’d find on a buffet somewhere in Maryland.  If you are eating light and need to have a helping of greens, don’t pass up on the Arugula salad with prosciutto and healthy sleeves of Parmesan reggiano.  For the sweet tooth try the cinnamon sugar coated doughnuts which went well with both Kettle One and Tonic or bubbly.  Voted one of the best desserts in Washington DC is the Lingonberry Linzertorte, which is an ice cream that when eaten has a taste of teleggio cheese an the torte provides a hint of port giving you a cheese and wine flavor.  I thought this dish could have been on Iron Chef America for its creativity an who doesn’t love ice cream?  This is an excellent finish to a seafood feast, go there and pamper yourself.  And I forgot to mention the cost is in the realm of acceptablity.
