Presenting (Mostly Because We Can’t Wait For Summer) The Blackfish Stone Harbor Menu

Good grief, Chip Roman. You’re on this blog more than Miley Cyrus is The Soup. (It’s Chip!) Still, on a day like today, the Margate sea hags seem so close we can smell their Panama Jack and Marlboro Reds, and it makes us happy to mull over what we’ll order at Blackfish at the shore, recently relocated from Avalon to Stone Harbor in the old Henny’s spot on 9628 Third Ave. We’ll be starting with the cute-as-a-button Cape May salts—you know their story, right?—then follow up with the foie gras terrine (real Sicilian pistachios?! Yes!) For entrees, it’s a toss-up between the rib-eye and the dourade. We have a sweet spot for sweet Jersey corn. Come correct, Chip, and make summer ’09 one to savor.
