That’s right folks, this coming WEEKEND..weekend…weekend…a kitchen Shilo will decide, once and for all (or at least until the rematch..)…whoooooooo’s cooler:

Glorious Fish Taco or Transcendent Fish Sandwich!!

Conditions are looking perfect for this epic bout. Fresh from his stint south of the border in Baja, Team Taco leader Graham “The Ram” Johnson looks poised to make a serious injection of Mexican awesomocity into the Shelter Island season opener. Consider Graham’s indefatigable kitchen gumption, natural southern-bred frying prowess and a rumor that the Mahi have been running 20 miles off Montauk point, and it’s easy to understand why Team Taco is the heavy odds-on favorite.

Don’t count The Fish Sammie gang out though. An underdog title suits us gritty kitchen pirates just fine & a lifetime spent researching the best New England has to offer ought to see us in the running every bite of the way.

Secrecy and intrigue are running thick as accusations of monger-bribing, recipe tampering and even buggery fly. Friendships may be scarred, clothing burnt and purity ransacked but, sammie or taco, taste-buds should emerge the contest’s the big winner. Stay tuned for updates, results and recipes. May our esteemed panel of Judges mind the framer’s intent and may the most delicious fishes win!
