no the chef from clarklewis isn't in the fish fry kitchen, but one of the original owners of clarklewis - michael hebberoy - runs it.

no opening date set yet (as far as i know)... most likely late summer, august or so.

it's awesome. monica dimas is the chef - young and personable - she's already had stints at pichet, artemis, and campagne. they get all their fish from mutual fish on rainier, stock mexican coke, and have wine and beer available too. lately they've been out of cod and halibut a lot - but hopefully that will stop. best bets: fried asparagus, the cod, and the oysters.

word on the street is he's hoping for a june opening.
