From the Sea, By the Pound

Avra Estiatorio takes great pride in allowing their diners to hand select their choice of freshly caught whole fish. Pick at your own risk- since the price is by the pound, make sure your eyes are not bigger than your stomach at that moment. The waiter then carries your selection over to the chef who delicately tends to your dinner over the grill, lightly dressing it with only the simplest flavors of butter, lemon and oregano. Although each filet is deboned, the plate comes complete with the head and tail. The genuine mediterranean experience was far from disappointing when the sweet but mild aroma of the white Lithrini or the "Greek Pride" took over the table within twenty five minutes of ordering (ends up being perfect timing to spread out the tastings of the homemade hummus and grilled calamari filled with goat cheese)
