Like its sister restaurant, Select Oyster, Little Whale is an attractive, focused eatery with some very fine seafood, and located in Back Bay, Boston. I tried it out this past week — just for variety — and I liked it.

Three small plates of my favorite things were more than enough for dinner: (1) oysters on the half shell (see lineup below), (2) Hamachi Crudo with golden watermelon, vinegar, Aleppo pepper and mint, and (3) Roasted Cauliflower with toasted almonds, golden raisins and harissa labneh. This last was also a generous portion — more than enough.
