Snowcrab season has just opened in Sambro. This is great news for Dennis Johnston, the man behind Fid. “They come in here still squirming,” he says, relishing the creation of a fine dining menu that changes with the seasons, with a focus on the best of what is available, sustainably and locally, from land and sea. “The Summer Tasting Menu is about digging all the produce. The first strawberries arrived last week.” 1569 Dresden Row, 422-9162
