👋 Hey, Joe here. If a whole fried fish is on the menu, I'm ordering it.
State of play: Basan began serving Japanese-inspired dishes last year in the historic Eddystone apartment building next to Little Caesars Arena.
What I ordered: The whole fried snapper with papaya salad ($59).
- Every bite was a perfect combo of tender fish, crispy skin and a sweet glaze.
- The tempura cod bun ($9) was another favorite.
If you go: Basan, at 2703 Park Ave., is open 4-11pm Sunday-Thursday and 4pm-midnight Friday and Saturday.
