Aioli review in Press Democrat

In the Sunday issue of the Press Democrat  Aioli Delicatessen (Facebook profile) was picked as the top fish taco place. Heather Irwin wrote:

Top Pick: Fancy Fishies at Aioli Delicatessen (Fridays only): Autumn Barber is a fish-frying fool come Friday. On the menu just once a week, her wild rock cod fish tacos are dunked in Fat Tire beer batter spiced with coriander and cayenne, fried to a crispy crunch and served up with chipotle lime sour cream, pico de gallo and lemon oil- dressed cabbage. In a red plastic basket, mind you, so as not to get all highfalutin'. Worth the drive to Forestville, truly. Just be patient, because there's usually a line, starting at noon. 6536 Front St., Forestville, 887-2476.
