IN PRINT: City Paper Food & Restaurants, April 21

- Adam Erace visits Fathom Seafood House, where Mike Stollenwerk and chef de cuisine Robert Holloway are putting the fish back in Fishtown. Though some of the heavier fare busted our critic's gut (after one meal, he "didn't sto much step out into the gun-shy spring sunlight as waddle"), he's loving the simple innovation of the menu, and the well-stocked raw bar, too.

- Well, Clarice ... have the marzipan lambs stopping screaming? Carolyn Wyman shares some background on the Sicilian Easter specialty so rare they're rationed. Two places in South Philly make them from scratch for the Easter season — Isgro's and Varallo Bros.

- In Feeding Frenzy, details on the brand-new Pure Fare, the coming-soon Sawatdee and several closings of note, including Fork & Barrel and Horizons (this summer).

- Laurel Rose Purdy has your food/drink agenda for the coming week in What's Cooking, including a seafood class at Oyster House, a fried chicken party at The Institute and other good stuff.
