By John Curtas If you asked your average tourist, they'd claim buffets and steakhouses as Sin City's most iconic eats. But thanks to the wonders of modern transporta- tion, and exotic, flown-in fare from around the world, seafood-centric chefs are plating a number of dishes that compete with anything you can find on the coasts. Las Vegas may be 286 miles from the closest ocean, but these dishes taste like they just jumped from the water and onto your plate (some nearly did!). CRAB CAKE Emeril's New Orleans Fish House Resembling more of a tower than a patty, Emeril Lagasse's jumbo lump beauty is an architectural marvel—big, buttery chunks of Maryland Blue suspended by the merest wisp of filler, capped with crunchy bread crumbs, and served with either a classic, coat-your-arteries remoulade or a lighter, piquant relish in the warmer months. The fun comes in toppling that structure to reveal an almost disconcert- ing amount of plump crustacean within.
