1 S Line-Caught Fish CALLIE The fish varies, depending on whatever’s freshest when the boats pull up to the restaurant that day. It’s done in a signature Travis Swikard way: marinated in Moroccan red chermoula (lemon, green olives, barberries, lemon oil), served on a bed of preserved lemon and saffron labneh (basically, yogurt of the gods). The labneh’s the bass note, the chermoula is the hi-hat. –TJ
