Catfish Got Yer Tongue

Well it might, my friend, if you drop by Tin, the new Vietnamese restaurant on Howard Street.
Kimster and I had dinner there before seeing The Runaways (it's good, see it). It's a smallish place but neat and modern-looking. We shared the vegetarian bun, rice vermicelli with fried peanutty tofu, herbs, lettuce, sprouts; stir-fried broccoli with lots of garlic; and our favorite, the caramelized claypot catfish. That's a mouthful of C's. And it's a mouthful of tender, sweet fish that falls to pieces as you scoop it into your mouth. The sticky sauce over steamed rice is a good consolation prize once the catfish is gone, which won't take an awful long time. And I gotta say, catfish claypot for $8? Read it and weep, Oh Slanted One.
