Sometimes flaky is bad. For instance, your college roommate who said you could borrow their notes from English Lit, but then you had to remind them five times, all the while they kept saying "I'll remember tomorrow." (Not at all bitter!) But here, flaky is good. The flaky white fish, under a brilliantly crisp batter, melts in the mouth like a sliver of butter. A puckish lemon crema brings the whole thing together, along with a fresh arugula salad… with that nice hint of bitterness to go with college roommates who don't follow up with promises. (No bitterness here, nope.) Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lemon? Before cutting, microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.
