This fish sandwich isn’t a Filet-O-Fish.

This is a piece of fish fried up with an extra crispy outer layer, topped with cheese and lettuce and served on a buttered bun.

I was headed to a concert no a pier in Manhattan– a free summer stage even– and wanted to grab dinner before hand. The cheese fish sandwich was much talked about when Lake Trout, the restaurant, opened. And deservedly so. While the fried fish was good, the cheese fish sandwich is something special.
