...most part, simply prepared. Instead of layering on the spices and gimmicks, the Barking Crab rely on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Even the more inventive offerings, such as the baked stuffed salmon, feature only minimal fussing. The salmon was filled with juicy crabmeat, then cooked to a perfectly tender consistency and served atop a fresh mesclun greens. The crab cakes, one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, eschewed fancy seasonings in favor of tons of fresh crabmeat and a small amount of breadcrumbs.

I vowed to return to sample the goat meat...

The goat and beef arrived, accompanied by the usual red beans and rice and fried plantains. The goat meat was tender yet chewy, soaked in the signature onion and green pepper sauce. The rice acted as a powerful absorbent of sauce. “This is Haitian home-cooking,” Deraville says. “What we eat at home is no different from what we serve at the restaurant...
