We've come to the conclusion
that the only people who don't like fish are hyperactive five-year-olds
whose basic diet consists of fruit roll-ups and Chipwiches and adults
that haven't tried anything beyond a Friendly's Fishamajig SuperMelt.
Even Mr. Hipster admits that he hasn't tried everything there is to
try when it comes to our friends from the sea. That's why there are
places like Pisces. Everything is fresh, simple and good. If you want
to try skate (and we certainly suggest you do) then you'll get skate
and nothing but the skate. None of this French stuff drenched in so
many cooked fruits and glazed bric-a-brac that your meal ends up tasting
like a stale cilantro-braised carnival funnel cake or a briny shoe
soaked in a frat boy's giant dipcup. We're not saying that the food
is boring or tasteless, just prepared so that you can enjoy the natural
taste of the fish, and maybe a simple sauce that compliments--instead
of covers up--the succulent essence of our scaly buddies. The restaurant
has a nice nautical theme that pushes it a little, but doesn't take
the kitsch over the edge. It's kind of like chowing down in a trendy,
yuppie version of an authentic Cape Cod joint--minus the salty sea
captain, the stink of the docks and the $5 lobster. [MF]
