RESTAURANT REVIEW
Though Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo became famous serving fatty meat dishes at their restaurant Animal, reviewers prefer their West 3rd Street fish restaurant. There are Asian-influenced dishes (yellowfin tuna tataki with white boy kimchi) as well as Italian offerings (linguine and clams doused in uni aglio-olio). Good old American fish cookery appears in a bite-size lobster roll that rivals anything you’ll find in New England. And for the fish-averse, the duo offers plates of Broadbent’s country Ham and hush puppies and one of the best versions of fried chicken you will find outside of the South.
