Icelandic Fish & Chips

Description:

• This new, harborside organic bistro is an implicit scolding of the traditional English grease-fest. The fish -- cod, spotted catfish, monkfish, and the catch of the day -- is tossed in barley batter (free of white flour and refined sugar) and fried in all-natural canola oil for a remarkably light, crispy finish that doesn't obstruct the fish's delicate flavor. Pair your fish with malt vinegar or "skyronnaise," the skýr-based house sauce in eight flavors, including coriander-lime, ginger-wasabi, and mango chutney. For "chips," choose between green salad, mango salad, tomato/potato salad, home fries, or onion rings.
