"The dishes at Center City’s Vernick Fish are great—after all, swanky seafood is their love language. They usually have three crudo options (and occasionally a ceviche), and they’re all worth talking about nonstop. Fresh hiramasa, fluke, and torched king salmon are paired with chili oil and jicama. The scallop crudo with green tomato, Thai basil, and lime leaf is gorgeous, especially if you’re looking for something with a mellow, sweet bite. Whatever option you go for, it'll have you insisting you're a raw-fish pescatarian from here on out. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve.
