 A postcard of the coast on a busy Durham street, blu looks just like a typical mid-Atlantic beach diner, down to the window air-conditioning unit on its enclosed porch. But unlike the typical Carolina fried seafood house, blu’s menu offers Gulf Rim specialties with a special emphasis on the Florida coast, former home of its chef-owner, Tim Lyons. Several kinds of ceviche are available as well as an extensive selection of raw oysters. Main dishes vary with the season and may include North Carolina trout with chile-nut/poblano butter and sweet potato mash or green curry bouillabaisse. The catch-of-the-day may be snapper, redfish, pompano or other Gulf fish served simply with butter and fresh vegetables. The wine list shows the chef’s care in choosing bottles that beautifully enhance his dishes, and servers are well trained to guide patrons to attractive pairings. By-the-glass choices focus on crisp, clean whites from all over the globe.
