Moving into the posh digs at the new BLVD Place at the corner of Post Oak Boulevard and San Felipe is Peska Seafood Culture, which has captivated Houstonians with its beautiful design as much as its novel concept: It's both a restaurant and a seafood market, and fresh seafood is flown in daily, so you can buy from the counter or have it prepared for you. Behind the glass case, the daily catch can include selections ranging from chocolate clams from the Baja to mahi mahi from Hawaii to wild king salmon from the Northwest to king crab and oysters from the Gulf or the Northeast. You can have the seafood prepared however you like — pan-seared, steamed or grilled — or you can order à la carte from the well-designed menu by 21-year-old chef-wunderkind Omar Pereney, a Venezuelan chef who has been cooking in fine-dining restaurants since age 12. Standouts on the menu include thinly sliced Peruvian-style tiraditos, freshly prepared ceviches and Hawaiian-style poke, salt-crusted whole branzino, and deep-fried whole fish served with Mexican-style adobo sauce.
