“I never know entirely what my menu’s going to look like when I wake up. We change the menu every day–it’s a reflection of what’s coming out of our local waters and local farms.” Today Bon Appetit spends a day on the line with James London, chef and owner of Chubby Fish in Charleston, South Carolina. This dock-to-table restaurant serves some of the freshest seafood in the city and revolves its menu around whatever comes out of the waters and farms each day.
“We're spending about $15,000 to $18,000 every single week. It's about 1,000 pounds of fish. One of the biggest challenges running a seafood restaurant in Texas is making sure that you're getting the freshest possible product.” Come behind the scenes for a Friday with executive chef Fermin Núñez at Este—one of Austin's best new Mexican seafood restaurants—the morning they receive their big fish order for the weekend.
“Yess is a casual izakaya-style restaurant. I like dealing with direct fire and the philosophical idea of buying a whole fish and then processing it.” Today, Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with Junya Yamasaki, head chef at Yess in Los Angeles. Yamasaki follows the philosophy of buying a whole fish and using every part throughout the menu making sure nothing goes to waste.
If you don’t have a large enough pot to toss all the shellfish and pasta together, you can always transfer everything to the largest bowl or platter you have, or go old-school and just pour the sauce over the pasta at the table.
