Chef Carolyn Johnson will help you through that whole paradox of choice conundrum with the new three-course prix fixe at Mooncusser Fish House. The pared down menu, available for $49 per person, features three apps, three entrees and two desserts from which to build your perfect meal, so you’ll get a sense of all the tasty things they have on offer at the Back Bay spot without getting too overwhelmed. It’s available alongside the regular dinner menu Monday through Saturday (they’re closed Sunday) from 5:00-10:00pm so pop in anytime you choose. Call 617.917.5193 to make a reservation, or book your table online.
