The Plate: Harvest “Moqueca”
The Place: Max’s Harvest, 169 N.E. Second Ave., Delray Beach; 381-9970 or maxsharvest.com
The Price: $34
The Skinny: Max’s Harvest pays homage to Brazil with this version of moqueca de peixe, or fish stew.
And what a worthy homage it is.
The savory tomato broth brims with fillet of striped bass, plus clams and large gulf shrimp.
The blend of tomatoes, onion and garlic gets a little kick from chilies, cilantro and lime. Annatto, or achiote, lends the dish its distinctive color.
But looks are not everything. The bass was tender, and the shrimp cooked to al dente perfection.
It’s served with steamed rice.
Also tasty: the Palmetto Creek Farms Pork Chop ($36), cooked medium with a beautiful char.
