The Other Fish
“We like to keep our ears to the ground when it comes to new trends in Japanese food,” says Matthew Reichard, sushi chef and owner of The Other Fish in Bethlehem. “We started hearing about these Japanese hot dogs that were really popular on the Japanese street-food scene so we decided to give it a try!”
Bite into the deep-fried, all-beef hot dog on a potato roll, topped with marinated shiitake mushrooms, seaweed salad, tempura crunch, scallions, spicy mayo and katsu sauce. “We put a lot of pride into everything we serve and the hot dog is no different,” Reichard explains. “It's a little out there but we always ask people to keep an open mind and give it a try. You won't be disappointed!”
Typically only available on their summer menu, Reichard says they've decided to offer their original dog this winter— along with a seasonal one that, at time of press, was still in the works. “We have people ask for it all year long so we decided to run it during the winter as well,” says Reichard. “It's a great option on a cold winter night!”
No matter the time of year, Reichard recommends pairing the hot dog with a refreshing light beer.
