Moëca

Moëca on Shepard Street in Cambridge gives seafood several different treatments over the course of dinner. Start with oysters or crudo, share squid or tuna ’nduja on squid-ink sourdough, then move on to pasta or a larger fish dish. The menu changes daily, but recent options have included smoked-flounder ravioli, swordfish schnitzel, and buttermilk-fried monkfish with tamarind hot sauce. You’ll also find vegetable plates and some meat dishes, useful when everyone at the table wants something different. Cocktails range from spritzes to stronger stirred drinks, and the dessert menu is worth keeping space for: baklava, fruit sorbets, and custard tarts appear in seasonal versions. Check that day’s menu before going if a particular dish caught your attention.
