heidinrick Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Heidi and I went to Niisa's for lunch.....again! Carlos, the owner, was telling us about a new menu item. He makes his own bagels, covers them with cream cheese, smoked trout, capers and black olives. I was salivating so he made one up for us to sample...incredible!!! I can'tΒ remember ever having smoked trout before but, I found it to be tastier than salmon (IMO). For lunch, I had the Barbeque Ribs and Heidi had their steak. Both were excellent. Hats off to Carlos! New breakfast menu coming soon!Β 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Where is Niisa's? Β What are they best known for and when are they open? Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidinrick Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Niisa's is west of Ajijic. It's at the west end of the strip where La Ancla and Jitomates are located. I tell people 3 topes and 100 meters past Oxxo on the lake side of the highway. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 8:30am till ? Closed Monday I think! EVERYTHING we've had there has been excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Rick, I might have walked right by you. I finally had an opportunity to stop in today and grab a tray of those cinammon buns you raved about. Saving them for breakfast, steamed, with butter.

Sorry, not sure what that has to do with this thread. But I personally prefer trout to salmon. I grew up in Canada with stints on both coasts and many, many lakes and rivers in between (Army brat), and have lots of both. But fresh brook or lake trout has always been my favourite. Oddly, never had much char. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis clark Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Looking forward to trying the bagel. Everything I have tasted there has been very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, never had much char. You have had Char. Brook[aka Speckled] trout,Lake trout, Dolly Varden, Bull trout are all chars,related to the Arctic Char. Some suggest that the Dolly and Bull are one and the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Ah. Well, arctic char is the one name I know, but I bet my trout tastes very different from that fish. Much as salmon and trout don't taste the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said you ate Char not Trout if you had Brook and Lake. Brown, Rainbow,Cutthroat and Golden are Trout. I have caught andΒ eaten sea run Brookies caught in the James Bay watershed, deep run Lakers, West coast Dollies in winter and Arctic Char that a friend who caught them in the NWT gave to me. Brookies,Dollies and Arctic even look the same, inside and outside. Chars require colder water than trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I wouldn't know. I have had char (remember, I said I haven't had "much") and it didn't taste like the trout I know. But more telling, I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidinrick Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Why does this always go off the subject? I was talking about a restaurant. Maybe I should've said "some kind of fish"! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Moving a thread along lines that are natural extensions of a conversation is not "hijacking". Complaining about hijacking... now, that's hijacking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Anyone seen smoked black Alaskan cod? That would be outrageous on a bagel and you wouldn't need very much for flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
