Twice a week, Gorian Papa wakes up at midnight, hops into his refrigerated Ford van and zips to the Fulton Fish Market in Hunt's Point to hand-pick the day's best red snapper, porgy and sea bass. They're super-fresh, all right, and they're on full display at Aqualis Grill, his Mediterranean-inspired seafood restaurant in Fort Greene. "Freshness" and "simplicity" are two words that come up a lot when talking to Papa, evident in a menu of austere dishes uncluttered by too many ingredients: octopus with olive oil and red wine, salmon crudo with ouzo, swordfish kebab, and of course, whole grilled fish. Chef John Tsakinis, who migrated over from Kellari Taverna, oversees the kitchen—no surprise, then, that strong Greek touches (yogurt, feta dressing, Manouri cheese) dot the menu.
