From Sparrow’s weekend brunch menu, the Famous Seafood Puff Pastry is one of the standout brunch plates in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood ($29).
About the Dish
This is the brunch showpiece: homemade filo dough piled with fresh Dungeness crab, Oregon bay shrimp, and bay scallops, topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, then finished with smoked paprika. The flaky pastry holds the sweet, briny seafood while the poached egg and hollandaise add richness, and the smoked paprika gives it a warm, gentle finish. It is a generous, special-occasion kind of plate. The combination of Dungeness crab, Oregon bay shrimp, and bay scallops gives you three different sweet, briny textures in one bite, and the poached egg and hollandaise pull it all together with a luxurious finish. At $29 it is one of the more premium plates on the brunch menu, and it has earned its name as a go-to for anyone who wants seafood done right for brunch in Juanita.
What to Drink With It
A seafood pastry this rich wants something crisp and lively. Bubbles from the Veuve Clicquot are a natural match, or go with the bright Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc to lift the crab and shrimp. See the full list on the Sparrow beverages menu.
