Whole Fish with Nahm Jim

📍 New York Thai Seafood $$

at Fish Cheeks

"When Thai seafood restaurants get the whole fish right — steam or grill depending on the preparation, the skin crispy, the flesh opaque and clean — it is one of the best things you can eat. Fish Cheeks does this consistently, and the nahm jim, a spicy lime-chili sauce, is made tableside with the kind of heat that makes you reach for the rice."
