It’s the second Friday of Lent, which means tons of practicing Catholics will be searching for a fishy lunch today. Here are my picks for the best Midtown Lunch’es good for lent…
Any of the fish options at El Rincon del Sabor (47th btw. 5+6th). Ecuadorians know how to do Lent right, and there are tons of fish items on the Friday menu. A seafood paella type rice dish, shrimp ceviche, whole fried fish and more. You can’t go wrong… surprisingly I didn’t see any Fanesca, the Ecuadorian bean soup made during Lent.
The octopus salad at Margon (46th btw. 6+7th). It’s hard to walk into a place like Margon and not order meat (with rice, beans & plantains). Lucky this chunky ceviche makes it a little bit easier.
Oms/b (45th btw. Lex+3rd). Rice balls topped with fish. How can you beat it?
The fake shrimp at most Midtown buffets by the lb. Sure it’s a scam (they’re not even actual seafood)…. but they are delicious! Especially the ones at Cafe Duke (50th btw. 6+7th).
