Fried Fish with Kitchen Sink Mayo

Vivian makes fried flounder the best way which also happen to be the simple way—shallow-fried in peanut oil until crisp and golden, then dragged through her everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink mayonnaise. It’s crunchy, creamy, and a perfect reminder that neutral oils have big flavor potential.

Bacon Fat Salad Toast

This salad toast layers smoky bacon fat, crisp greens, and bright olive oil for the perfect balance of rich and fresh. It’s simple, clever, and proof that a good fat makes everything better.
