Happy Heat Wave Week!
Ideally, you’re reading this from Montauk, Antibes, or someplace else where the gin and tonics are as strong as the ocean breeze.
I’m not in any of those places.
I’m sweating in out in Park Slope, where my daily alarm is the parade of construction trucks making their way to Gowanus for new luxury construction. A nice cold shellfish platter would be the correct antidote to all of this nonsense, but I can only write about chilled clams on the half shell so often.
So today, I’m going sing the praises of grilled whole fish — head, tail, everything.
That’s what I’ve been splurging on at Theodora in Fort Greene, a deeply sexy Mediterranean spot decked out with drippy candles, wicker chairs, tiny booths in curvy nooks, a fiery grill, fancy shot glasses, and other design elements appropriate for a romantic spy thriller on the Balearic.
It’s also one of the best places to eat whole fish in New York City.
