Blindsided by the bankruptcy of Red Lobster, seafood-loving New Yorkers may now seek comfort at Strange Delight. The New Orleans-inspired Fort Greene restaurant offers fried shrimp, BBQ shrimp, shrimp cocktail, shrimp-topped oysters, and umpteen other dishes that make great use of fish and crustaceans. A cheesy crab dip pairs nicely with some fried saltines, and the celery-heavy shrimp remoulade makes for a great snack. But the headliner is the fried shrimp sandwich on milk bread with crisp iceberg and tangy giardiniera. Eat one on a stool up front in the little area saved for walk-ins, or book a mint green table in the back if you need a little more room. For shellfish and natural wine, this should be your new go-to spot in the area.
