Fodor's Review:

Two stories above the less formal Fish Shack, BLT Fish is an elegantly appointed dining room set under a spectacular skylight. "BLT" stands for Bistro Laurent Tourondel, and he proves once again, as at BLT Steak uptown, that he embellishes his dishes more successfully than nearly anyone. "Buffalo rock shrimp" are beer-battered shrimp sauced in the manner of Buffalo wings, with surprisingly delicious results. Tourondel's signature roasted Alaskan black cod is simply marinated overnight, then roasted. The piping-hot result is among the best seafood dishes in town. Whole fish is sold by the pound, with most fish averaging 1-3 pounds each. At about $32 per pound, that can really add up.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
