I’d like to suggest the spicy cod shrimp at Izakaya Ten in Chelsea. Three butterflied shrimp come per order smothered in a thick blanket of cod roe. Though the shrimp are served in their shells, they’ve been sautéed out of them with wasabi, minced onions, and a slew of other tasty bits that get packed back into the shrimp shell.
The result is a one-bite wonder that easily peels out of its case and into a soon-to-be delighted gullet. Be sure to have a Sapporo or some sake ready; these nibbles can get spicy if you get a bite with a lot of wasabi.
The restaurant is a perfect place to pop into while gallery hopping or just to tide one over with a little snack before a proper dinner. These shrimp were my favorite, but pan-fried dumplings were a close second.
