Comal Called ‘Ambitious’

In her last week writing regular items for Tasting Table, Jessica Battilana gives us a first take on the food at the newly open Comal in downtown Berkeley, where she recommends a cocktail, the Comal Swizzle, and the irresistible, wood-oven roasted whole Tai snapper, “its flesh imbued with the flavors of smoke and herbs.” Also, she’s got the recipe for their black-olive salsa, and says the local salmon crudo shouldn’t be missed either.
