 I've generally been pleased with the Daily Catch - it serves food such
 as I would cook, except that there's twice as much garlic. The price I've
 always found a bit high, especially given that it's a low-overhead store,
 and the ambience, as everyone is fond of pointing out, is Zippo.

 Some of the meals come with a side dish of pasta in red sauce - ask for
 a substitution of black pasta in garlic and oil with ground squid; they
 do this, but I forget whether they used to charge extra and now it comes,
 or the other way round.
