The Fish Market Cheezy Garlic Bread
I came to the Bay Area CA in 1975 and the first Fish Market was opened on El Camino Real in Palo Alto CA the next year in 1976. It was only 5 minutes from work and I started going to the Fish Market often for lunch. The second Fish Market was opened in early 80's also in my neighborhood, Santa Clara. Since then, they have expanded to the Socal area. I've always loved their seafood selection. So fresh, but I also loved few other offerings such as this Cheezy Garlic Bread, their coleslaw and potatoes au gratin. This recipe comes from their own cookbook. Apparently this bread was served mainly for their employees long before it hit the menu. In the book, this bread is made with 3 types of sauces ie garlic puree, aioli sauce and finally Parmesan sauce that adds garlic puree and aioli sauce. I streamlined the procedure for easier recipe.
