"Is brunch too early to eat an entire fried fish? The answer is no, especially if you’re at Tel Aviv Fish Grill. Every item at this seafood-leaning Israeli spot in Tarzana tastes light and fresh, including that whole-fried white bass. The breading is minimal, the meat effortlessly pulls off the bone, and it comes with a tangy lemon garlic dip and mezze spread with hummus, smoky roasted eggplant, and spicy pickles, to name a few. If you’re here solo and find a whole fish to be a bit much, you can’t go wrong with the golden fish schnitzel." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
