FISHTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- Here on the Philly restaurant scene, a spot featuring traditional Pennsylvania cuisine is unique.

At Elwood in Fishtown, chef-owner Adam Diltz makes the dishes he grew up on in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

He specializes in game meats and local fish - including shad, 'the original fish of Fishtown' - many served whole, the way his grandmother did when Adam's grandfather (Elwood Andreas) would bring home such after taking Adam hunting.

Antique dishes and silverware complement the aesthetic, and a tea service is offered on weekends.
