The Best Deep-Fried Dishes in Brooklyn


Have you ever noticed how many foods seriously weaken your resolve to eat healthfully each summer? Ice cream. BBQ. And oh yeah, deep-fried everything. I mean, how can we be expected to rock sundresses, bikinis and itty-bitty short shorts when belly clams and fried chicken so perfectly complement the season? And resistance is especially futile when you consider the delicious dishes on offer at a bunch of area restaurants, like the soft shell crab sandwiches at Fritzl’s Lunch Box and the Le Grand Aioli (a mixed plate of crispy goodness) at Marlow & Sons. So go ahead and enjoy that plantain-stuffed arepa at Caracas while sunbathing at Rockaway Beach. Because that’s what cover-ups are really for, right?
