Frying Fish’s is the kind of place that might describe itself on a dating profile as “excellent food, reliable, great with groups.” And unlike most profiles, that would not be a gross exaggeration. Here, you can satisfy a large crew with ease, no matter if you’re with people who live for tingling Sichuan heat, or just want dependable classics like a very good pork with bean curd. Don’t worry about squeezing in, either. More than one oversized booth makes it easy to seat 15 people you kind of know, and 17–20 you know well enough to get up close and personal with. And if your group includes kids, there’s no need to pull out an iPad with Bluey on it. Frying Fish brings back one of the original forms of dining entertainment—live seafood tanks.
