American in Jamaica — that's Rockaway Fish House. What gets ordered, going by the write-ups: the mac and cheese, fried chicken and oxtail. Reviewers keep mentioning that people say it's worth the wait and the portions are big. Worth knowing — it has outdoor seating and does delivery and takeout. 2,265 ratings on record, which isn't yet enough to put it above the line. Prices land around $$.

We eat at a couple of places a week and write those up in full — unannounced, paid for out of our own pocket. Most places get their number from the regulars long before we get there, and that is the point: forty people who actually eat somewhere know more than one critic who went twice.

Nobody has written about this one yet. The first one in is the one everybody reads.
