City Paper ventures out from the borders of Philadelphia to try Blackfish in Conshohocken.

Even if there were a competitor next door, it’s a safe bet that folks waiting for a table at Blackfish would stay put. After years working under the likes of Mark Vetri and Le Bec-Fin’s Georges Perrier, chef Chip Roman has brought the restaurant renaissance to the suburbs. With an adventurous menu rooted in seasonal foodstuffs, his kitchen is turning out plenty of reasons for increased traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway — at least for drivers starting in downtown Philly.

Aroundphilly.com gets out to Conshohocken to check out the highly touted Blackfish.

The winter menu brings toothsome risotto with tender chestnuts in pureed currents as an opener, and a delicate skate wing on romaine with lemon broth as a worthy main course.
The fork-tender hanger steak and rich-rubbed lamb loin are also notable choices, and a small offering of desserts like rich crème brulee that beg to be lingered over.
