Restaurants Perfect For Quality Fish

Nagao Sushi & Salad
13050 San Vicente Blvd., Los Angeles, CANo, we were not at Sushi Nozawa on the last day before it closed. Apparently that’s the new badge of honor that people in LA wear now when you bring up sushi restaurants in this town. “Oh you like that place? I guess it’s OK. Did I tell you that we waited six hours to [...]

Mary’s Fish Camp
64 Charles St., West Village, NYMary’s is the rare authentic feeling fish house around these parts, and as far as we’re concerned, is one of the best seafood jams in Manhattan.

15 East
15 E. 15th St., Union Square, NYBert and Ernie? Fergie and the weird looking dude from the Black Eyed Peas? That won’t work, Steinthal can’t run in heels. Sorry, just thinking of a few disguises for all the bank robberies we’re going to have to pull off to keep eating at 15 East. Maybe we’ll do the Hamburglar and Grimace. They’ll [...]

Uchi
801 South Lamar Blvd., Austin, TXTry not to act too surprised when we tell you that Austin is one of our favorite places on earth. It is, after all, one of the greatest music towns in the world, and it’s also a place where we can get ridiculous on all manner of delicious things to eat, like BBQ, specialty food [...]

Aburiya Kinnosuke
213 East 45th St., Midtown East, NYFrom what we’re told, this is an authentic Japanese establishment, all the way down to the robata grill. We can’t vouch for its authenticity, nor are we sure that a robata grill isn’t something from the Sky Mall catalog, but we do happen to agree that this place is damn good.

Sushi Seki
1143 First Ave., Upper East Side, NYTwo things have changed since this website started taking over our lives: we sleep less, and we eat more. You would think that the body’s natural response to such developments would be to force rest and fasting. Instead, quite the opposite has happened. We’ve begun to take a lot of pleasure in a little thing [...]

The John Dory Oyster Bar
1196 Broadway, Flatiron, NYFor the average restaurateur, the first incarnation of The John Dory would have been quite the accomplishment – tons of press coverage, a steady flow of customers…who cares if the reviews were mixed? But that wasn’t exactly what Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield had in mind. These two aren’t just after success; the name of [...]

Kanoyama
175 2nd Ave., East Village, NYA diamond in the rough sushi find. This is some of the best fish you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

Tomoe
172 Thompson St., Greenwich Village, NYWaiting in a line outside of any restaurant seems a bit silly to us, but Tomoe is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, as you will see by those patiently standing single file out front on most nights. And it certainly isn’t the atmosphere that’s got people queued up on Thompson Street. The place is a dump.

Jewel Bako
239 E. 5th St., East Village, NYJewel Bako is one of those restaurants that we’ve been hearing about for a while now, mostly from East Village residents who never leave the neighborhood for anything. Ever. You have friends like that. People who act like Third Avenue is the Korean DMZ, and would sooner commit ritual suicide before getting in a cab [...]
