Seaside Summer Perfection

SECONDS BEFORE A LEMON SQUEEZE: Fluke (foreground) and Black Sea Bass at Artie’s South Shore, with lovely accompaniments, July 2008.
A few weeks back I revisited Artie’s South Shore Fish Market and Restaurant in Island Park, New York, just over the bridge (or one train stop in) from Long Beach.
It was one of those perfect summer days, a Tuesday, and my friend Lily and I decided to turn it into a perfect beach day. With the exception of its “no dogs allowed” policy, Long Beach is an ideal one-day getaway destination for New Yorkers. The beaches are clean and well monitored, and diving into the rolling salt water surf made me feel like I was in a 19th century novella, out taking the cure by the sea.
