Wreckfish

Wreckfish

Fish is a restaurant of many moods. It’s casual and affordable at lunchtime, when diners can personalize a moo shu wrap and choose a soup or salad from the $10 mix-and-match menu. The happy hour tends to attract a lively crowd with different specials every day — we prefer Thursday with its $4 cocktails, half-price small plates, and $4 mussels. That’s also a good time to sample dim sum like frog leg wontons or lobster croque madame. Chef Nico Romo really flexes his culinary muscles at dinnertime, with a fresh, seasonal menu of French-Asian cuisine. The winter menu includes tasty options like vermilion snapper cooked on the plancha and served with ginger rainbow carrots and sunchokes, potato and squash dumplings, and smoked yellow curry. Then there’s the 72-hour short rib cooked sous vide and served with creamy cauliflower and peas, bacon fries(!), tatsoi salad, and bordelaise sauce. Pastry chef Susie Ieronemo wraps things up with inventive, delectable desserts like Piggy Pudding, a candied bacon and fig pudding with frozen yamazaki eggnog, blood orange toffee sauce, and sesame walnuts. —Erica Jackson Curran Dish (Winter 2013)
