Bites - Fish

The Skate Wing, truffled spaetzle, parmesan broth, and melted leeks ($21 when I had it, although I believe it is now treads around $23) at Fish (1708 Lombard St Philadelphia, Pa).

Skate Wing at Fish

The slightly salty smell of the table-side poured parmesan broth, fragrant truffle shavings, and feather light spaetzle with crisped edges, warms the senses and the soul. The perfectly cooked skate with it’s butter browned edges, flakes apart ever so easily with a slight pull of your fork. Who said fish and cheese don’t pair well together? This dish proves that old-school rule wrong!  This is one of the original dishes from Mike Stollenwerk’s tiny super swimmer, Little Fish, in Queen Village.  I am glad to see it replicated uptown at his latest venture as it is truly one of my favorites dishes in the city of Philadelphia.
