"This upscale Spanish spot in Silver Lake was one of the first full-service restaurants in town to put tinned fish front and center on their menu, and a great reminder that ordering a conserva board is an ideal way to kick off dinner. Bar Moruno’s selection isn’t the biggest in town (there are usually six or so varieties on the menu at any given time), but it still covers a lot of the tinned fish spectrum. Options range from mussels in pickled sauce to cockles in brine to sardine paté—all on an impressive spread of house pickles, butter, and thick, crunchy bread. Pair it with the absinthe-and-maraschino-kissed Tuxedo martini." - brant cox, garrett snyder
