Otherwise serviceable bodega / Spanish (El Salvadorian) deli with a full lunch buffet. Great beans, rice, chicken, solid lunch option.
I definitely will not name the place and give them any bad press.
Today I noticed a steam tray full of these whole fried fish and inquired about them since they appeared quite unusual. The owner's eyes lit up, it is some kind of traditional thing they make. He insisted I try one and packed it up for me on the house.
I tried to have an open mind, but… it is just absolutely disgusting. Appearance, smell, taste. Tried a courtesy nibble of some of the very salty and fishy grizzle left on the bones.
I'm sorry, I consider myself an adventurous eater, but this is "a no for me dog".
Great place, will go again.

Not bad enough.
It may look gross to some. But that’s what a smoked fish looks like. I bet it slaps👍
Ordering fish and chips in any country but western 🤡
looks like what my dad and i would have while ice fishing when i was a kid.
First catch gets put on the mini grill while we set up more tip-ups and the sonar. Eat the grilled/smoke fish for breakfast while the car defroster gets the hamberger patties thawed enough to peel apart for lunch.
Steamed? They look fuckin mummified!
It looks like they left the scales on.
Eat it with chopsticks and sticky rice.
Fish flops after a fire?
I live for this style of fish and my mouth is watering! On rice with some chili paste and a side of veggies… impossible to beat. Still, I understand it’s not for everyone. Good of you to try.

Looks okay tho? Better than most of the posts here.

I mean I’ve eaten sardines like that, fried with scales and all.
I mean I’ve eaten sardines like that, fried with scales and all. This fish is too big to serve like that though.
Holey Mackerel!
Take it to work and microwave it for lunch
Wow, but you did it anyway 👏
