Restaurant review: Blue Fish in Ridgewood

Yes, it’s called Blue Fish, but do not expect to see bluefish on the menu.
Blue Fish owner Ashraf Sarkies speaking with patrons in the outdoor seating area. Sarkies, a native of Egypt who studied in France, presides over a menu of familiar dishes from all over the Mediterranean.
“It’s a very hard fish to find,” says owner Ashraf Sarkies, who serves it occasionally on request.
Sarkies picked the name simply because he liked it – and he wanted Ridgewood to know that it finally had a restaurant that specialized in fish and seafood.
An intimate restaurant near the Ridgewood train station, Blue Fish is surrounded by bigger and flashier dining choices. But its menu of classic Mediterranean dishes from land and sea has kept the restaurant going for about two years now, helped along by one of Ridgewood’s biggest and most prominent outdoor seating areas.
