There's a new Michael at the helm of Pike Street Fish Fry. Michael Hebb (formerly Michael Hebberoy) has been supplanted by Michael Yuasa. Rumor has it that Hebb lost interest in Pike Street Fish Fry last fall (2008).
The change in ownership has not diminished critical praise for the eatery. Food & Wine canvassed chefs around the country last month, and Joule's Rachel Yang paid homage to its $5 smelt sandwich. This Friday from 5 to 8 pm, Pike Street Fish Fry will be giving away free boats of fries. Fat Tire & Blue Paddle beers will be made available for $2.
