Boho 115

The Square Pub has been around for about a decade in Decatur square until their demise in March 2020... Obviously, due to the VID, rising rents, parking issues and whatever the fuck else the Decatur dictators and overlords deem beneficial to them personally at the expense of small business owners. I was never a big fan of their menu but people to seemed to like it enough to keep it in business all those years. The primo location probably had a big part in their longevity. The space sat empty for a good bit until Boho 115 (a fish camp+bar) opened in February of 2022 with their seafood focused menu with nods from Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Mediterranean influences. Ceviche, octopus, shrimp cocktails, tacos, tostadas, roasted whole fish, jerk chicken, steak, fried seafood blank the menu but the most interesting items on the menu are the canned goods by the infamous Espinaler from Spain. 

Most gringos look down on canned fish and seafood just like with canned meats ie: SPAM. They think it's for poor people with no taste. But on the contrary, canned goods are prized items around the world. These suckaz are the ones with the palate of a billy goat. Some of the most delicious things are found inside cans... I dated this one broad with huge cans and I never ran out of milk and I cried like a baby when she broke up with me... Then my mom said you're 18 now, it's time to leave the house. Enough about my shady upbringing... We want to see food porn, Pouch! And we want to hear what colorful things you will say about it.

You axed for it, you got it...

Ceviche de Marisco, shrimp, octopus, mahi. This looks pretty good. I like the two toasted tortillas to scoop up the ceviche. Gotta admit everything in this dog bowl was quite tender and not chewy. It was seasoned well and not too acidic nor oily. Tis was a good snack for the Pouch.

Razor Clams (Trimmed), grilled with lemon. Of all the Espinaler canned goods on the menu, the razor clams is a no brainer. They said it can be grilled with lemon... Something was lost in translation because they grilled the lemon instead of the clams. Either way, the razor clams were dericious with or without the grilled lemon. It seems like the portion should be larger from the tin... I get the feeling the guy in the short shorts prepping it was taste testing a few of my razor clams or maybe he thought they were pizzle... Shiiiit, I know I fucking would with the garbage pay for the cooks these days. I remember the days of yore when I worked at the infamous 21 Club in NYC, I ate so many goddamn D'Artagnan foie gras lobes and Osetra caviar by the spoonfuls because the pay was total shit. I even dusted a whole lobe of foie with Wondra and deep fried the whole damn thing in the deep fryer. It was fucking dericious.

Gallega Octopus, spanish paprika, olive oil, sea salt, piquillo mash. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice meaty bite size octopus which well dressed with the paprika and oil. Every bite was flavorful and the octopus was tender which takes a skillful hand to not over cook it. The mild piquillo mash was fine but really didn't have that much flavor to it and didn't add any more value to this dish. Shit, just give me a few more pieces of juicy octopussy.

Fried Shrimp, classic cocktail sauce, spicy remoulade. Who the fuck would order this ubiquitous side show... This fat fuck sure didn't. Leave it to the gringo at the table to order the most tiresome snack ever... OK, if this was coconut skrimpz or sweet shrimp with the fried heads then I would congratulate the roundeye for ordering correctly. Look, it was fwied shwimpz... I still ate it because I'm a grotesque glutton. Have y'all ever seen a fatso push away food... Ever? No, I didn't think so.

 

I like this place. It's better than that local yokel dump before it. This was actually my second visit since my first visit was all about boozing at the bar. I would go back to try out more of the Espinaler tins...
