Gelateria del Cassaro In Marsala

08/11/2024: High minded, high priced, high pride, low execution pseudo-creativity lacking fresh storage of fish. "Low temperature" (is that millennial speak for sous vide, or for braised, or for crudo?) red mullet with dark-colored but not-olive-tasting "sand" or "dust" or some such was amazingly bland, mushy, and uninteresting, but it did come with a soggy stale tuile-thing remiscent of coral in this former "Sicilian city of coral." Cous cous was rich and pleasant pasta and came with a joyful celery leaf, but the fish again was soft, mushy, and bland, and accompanied by mixed fried shrimp and calamari, what? Seed coated stewed fish chunks were weird. Beautiful tablecloth, heavy silverware, quiet outdoor seating in this side street. Water was appropriately bubbly, rosato wine was cold. Several repeating trips to the bathroom later that night nailed the decision to not make a return trip here.
