The Critics Ate Stuffed Skate, Kimchi Pancakes, and Thin-Crust Pizza - Eater Boston
"Jolyon Helterman visits Mooncusser Fish House for this month’s review in Boston Magazine and considers ranking the restaurant up there among his recommendations for out-of-towners looking for seafood in Boston. The straightforward menu features seven appetizers and eight entrees, including the “luscious” macomber turnip soup, which comes with poached oyster and pear cream. Helterman writes that his favorite appetizer is the “charry” seared gnocchi, while the potato-stuffed skate is “a veritable gauntlet of texture and seasoning traps,” a dish of flawless execution. Helterman rates the restaurant three stars (“generally excellent”) out of a possible four, but he notes that the restaurant’s more casual Moon Bar counterpart downstairs doesn’t deliver quite as strongly. “Figuring out the first-floor concept could be key to Mooncusser’s survival,” he writes." - Dana Hatic
