HEADS OR TAILS SEAFOOD – Restaurant

Part fresh fish market, part restaurant, on NW 54th Street — you get to look at what you're eating before it hits the griddle. The choice is refreshingly blunt: fried or griddled, then pick your sides from red or black beans, tostones, plantains, white or yellow rice, fries, mashed potatoes. Fried calamari, dusted in flour and flashed crisp, is the standard opener. The room is plain and the point is the fish, which regulars insist is as fresh as anything in the city. Weekday hours, outdoor seating, no fuss.
