"Turns out “snook” isn’t just a 1920s slang term for a game of pool—it’s a type of fish, and it’s the specialty at Coni’Seafood in Inglewood, listed on the menu as pescado zarandeado. And while you should definitely be ordering this superb grilled fish, the other reasons to go out of your way to this Mexican seafood restaurant are the marlin tacos and really any of the things they do with shrimp. Plus, they have a big, bright interior and a BYO wine policy. Bring enough friends to share a whole fish." - brant cox, sylvio martins
