This usually happens when you try to REHEAT previously cooked seafood... So maybe the food was not as fresh as expected. This also explains the high amount of fluids in it... EASIER TO REHEAT! and of course, the fact that it was brought to you in pots... Of course! You could hardly bring semiliquid food on plates...

Occasionally, when I order lamb or duck, a waiter will ask me apologetically if it's ok that the chef serves it medium rare. Of course its ok damn it! That's the only way it should be served! <br /><br />I can only imagine the frustration of chefs on a daily basis...

I can’t understand it at all! Occasionally, when I order lamb or duck, a waiter will ask me apologetically if it’s ok that the chef serves it medium rare. Of course its ok damn it! That’s the only way it should be served!

I went a few years ago based on tips and subtle nudges from friends when I was visiting NYC for business, and I left completely unsatisfied. All of the seafood was overcooked and tough. Now I don't feel like a jerk for shooting down the raves--thanks! I’m so glad someone had the same experience at Sevilla!
