El Fish Marisqueria

"Don't let the name fool you—this is not your average seafood shack. Instead, this Upper West Side restaurant invites guests to settle in to a warm, modern and chic setting complete with a bar that lures locals who sip on cocktails and refreshing zero-proof drinks.Quality seafood is the basis of the flavor-packed dishes here, and while some of the plates feature an Asian flair, choose from the Para Empezar section for a proper marisqueria-style seafood feast. First up is the clam chowder with strips of tortillas and crisp pork rind chicharron in a smoky tomato-chile guajillo. Then, salmon skewers are slicked with a sweet-smoky riff on kung pao sauce for an unexpectedly flavorful dish.Didn't snag a reservation? The raw bar is ideal for walk-ins." - Michelin Inspector
