Went back to Smithereens to try more of the menu. I was disappointed to see the fried whiting was gone, the people next to me last time had it and it looked great.
Tuna. I’m not big on crudo but this was great. They could bottle the sauce. Perfect level of spiciness.
Amberjack. Combination with the persimmon and shiso was surprising and good.
Scallops. Good but my appetite was flagging and I found the fried chestnuts too much.
Rice with clams and chowder. Intense and deep.
Freshly fried hot cider doughnut. Who could resist?
Maybe next trip to NY I can get some fried fish there.
