What the Fish? No, Seriously, What's on Their Menu?
Let's face it, the name "What the Fish?" leaves you with more questions than answers. Is it a high-end sushi joint where the chef flips out over anything less than perfect cuts of tuna? Or maybe a hole-in-the-wall serving fish and chips so greasy they could qualify as a science experiment?
Fear not, intrepid diner, for we shall dive into the delightful depths of the What the Fish? menu, uncovering the treasures that lie beneath (or should we say, beside?) the waves.
Appetizers: A Warm Up for Your Taste Buds (and Funny Bone)
Edamame Extravaganza: We start with the classics, folks. But forget your run-of-the-mill steamed soybeans. What the Fish? offers a whole symphony of edamame: plain, garlic, and spicy garlic (because who doesn't like a little heat with their roughage?).
Shishito Roulette: These little green peppers are like edible surprise packages. Most are mild, but a few pack a punch. Will you be the envy of the table with a perfectly pleasant pepper, or erupt in fiery tears? There's only one way to find out! (Don't worry, they provide plenty of napkins...just in case.)
Gyoza Galore: Vegetable or pork, steamed or fried, the choice is yours! Just be warned, these little dumplings disappear faster than you can say "potstickers!"
The Ganja (Yes, You Read That Right): Hold on, is this a sushi restaurant or a head shop? Fear not, it's just spicy tuna wrapped in a tempura mint leaf, drizzled with a trifecta of sauces. Intriguing, right?
