Santa Barbara Sip & Savor - (Page 8)
local specialties Santa Barbara offers the best of the best, from gourmet olives to rich truffles. By Nancy Ransohoff Crazy for Crustaceans The locally harvested, briny-sweet ridgeback shrimp is actually a prawn, but let’s not quibble. A quick sauté or boil is all it takes to sail to seafood heaven (available October– June). And it may not have a pretty name—or claws—but the spiny lobster (below) has firm, sweet meat similar to that of its cold-water cousin—only much, much better (available October–March).
