Sounds like you're into wasabi-crusted skate territory, to me (the
fish, not the sports thingy).  Or, does that salad *really* want to be
a side dish?  Maybe you should serve several hearty appetizers with it
(ever made negmaki?  or kimbop?).  And then maybe a cheese course
before dessert.  The sherry cake sounds like a great idea.
