This Eritrean restaurant in San Francisco's Little Italy offered fish wot (spicy stews) with their injera (the sourdough pancake one uses to pick up the wots with). I've come across whole fish dishes in many Ethiopian restaurants, but I think this is the first time I came across a fish wot. (Masawa, by the way, is located on the Red Sea, so it stands to reason that they do seafood). The berbere spiced stew had tomatoes and onion in it, the tilapia was firm, and the dish was served with lentils and salad. This place was quite a find because I wasn't expecting to find a place like this in Little Italy. I enjoyed my meal with a glass of tej (which is Ethiopian honey wine); this one tasted like it was aged a bit, like Sherry.
Location: Masawa Restaurant, 532 Green Street, San Francisco, California. Date: September 16, 2019.
