Rice and Fish - Cheap and Cheerful



Another of the French food critics darlings (Figaro, le fooding) , this friendly little sushi resto, located on a semi-pedestrian side street sandwiched on the periphery of skanky Chatelet and Sentier and the bobo-ish shopping street Etienne Marcel has morphed into one of the most popular Asians in town. Run by San Franciscan Andy , who trained in the You Ess Ay, Rice and Fish offers inexpensive (though not mindblowing) makis, sushi and chirashi. Service is friendly although they seem a bit overwhelmed by the demand (forgotten napkins, no spider crab, no deep fried ice cream), the food is decent, though not surprising in any way and the terrace a nice place to hang under the sun drinking chilled Kirin (although I did spill half of mine all over my trousers while watching a pretty girl walk by, much to the amusement of the neighboring tables..)

Taeko is great, love the marché. I prefer Krung Thep to Lao Siam, but I know both. Yes I am Adrian from Nylon, and yes I wrote about you (?), non? If you're that Chauncey that is??

Hello Adrian,
Taeko , marché des enfants rouges, simple and tasty,This is my favorite fish, and you make it pretty easy, and yummy, and the topping is looking very beautiful and tasty.
And it is helpful that you share the tip of white fish, that we can leave out the balsamic vinegar and substitute more white wine or lemon juice.
You are really look like a professional cooker. Yummy.
...but you have to eat outside ....
