The Dish: The Optimist's Whole Haddock

I ordered the whole haddock at the Optimist this past weekend. Now I knew a whole fish would be big, but this bad boy was crazy big. Big enough that I was a little embarrassed to be dining with two men and have a dish at least twice the size of either of theirs. If you can get past his ugly mug, this dish is pretty darn tasty.

With perfectly crisped skin and a bold sweet and spicy sauce, this dish was full of flavor. After an app and one of their delectable pullman rolls, I was pretty full, so my two dining companions were able to have a substantial portion of my dish, too. Since my dish turned out to be the best of our three, that was a nice bonus. So go hungry or bring friends!
