Frenasia – Sushi & Hibachi Pairings
Dim lights, waterfront views and a kitchen that hits you with aromas before you even sit down. Today’s dishes and cannabis pairings showcase the best of Asian cuisine.
Seafood Yakitori and Maui Wowie
Dish: Salmon, shrimp, vegetables, pineapple salsa, and teriyaki glaze
Why it works: Tropical terps like pineapple, citrus, and light floral mirror the salsa.
Result: Highlights the sweet-acidic fruit without overpowering the seafood.
Spicy Tuna Pairing with Strawberry Cough
Dish: Diced tuna with spicy mayo and tartar dressing
Why it Works: Bright berry + light citrus terps add a fruity lift that balances heat and creaminess.
Result: Enhances the tuna’s freshness with a smooth, clean finish.
Lenny’s Clam Bar – Seafood Pairings
With its celebrity wall and decades-long reputation, Lenny’s combines nostalgia with consistently great seafood. Our pairing aims to match that energy.
Clams Casino and Stuffed Shrimp Pair with Lemonberry
Plate: Clams baked with onions, peppers and bacon-breading
Why it Works: Balances richness with brightness while tying together herbs and citrus notes.
Result: Many herbs in the stuffing (parsley, oregano) share terpene compounds with citrus and berries, creating a cohesive aromatic experience.
Plate: Stuffed shrimp with crab meat in a lemon–wine butter sauce
Why it Works: Bright citrus + soft berry terps complement sweet, smoky, and briny flavors.
Result: Elevates the lemon–wine butter and enhances the natural sweetness of shrimp and crab without clashing.
Dominant terpenes in Lemonberry:
- Limonene- Citrusy, uplifting, bright lemon-orange aroma
- Myrcene- Earthy, musky, herbal base
- Caryophyllene- spicy, peppery depth
- Valencene- Sweet orange-like citrus
New Park Pizza – Classic NYC Pairings
New Park is a Howard Beach essential because of brick ovens, iconic crust and generations of loyal customers.
Pepperoni or White Pie Pairing: Garlic Cookies (GMO)
Slice: Aged mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan or Spicy Pepperoni
Why it Works: Big garlic + diesel terps match pepperoni’s smoky spice and complement cheese-rich white pies.
Result: A savory, umami-heavy indica perfect for ending the night after a classic slice on the sidewalk of Crossbay Blvd.
Terpene Profile for Garlic Cookies:
- Beta-Caryophyllene- Spicy, Herbal
- Myrcene- Musky aroma, light hints of spice or citrus
- Limonene- found naturally in lemons, oranges, peppermint, rosemary, juniper berries
