Andrew Engle's Montauk Wild Striped Bass, Tomatoes, Corn

Andrew Engle is the chef at The Laundry in East Hampton, N.Y. This eatery has been a Long Island classic for years. How great that striped bass is available year-round! If the fish is thinner than 3/4 inch, do not turn it, Andrew says. Just cook it skin-side down.
