Most of your customers probably don't know the relevant tradition, and if it didn't seem a complete novelty, it would seem like a twist on something familiar to them (because you'd be backing out later twists that the customer was used to.)
OTOH, even if you did add your own twist to it, it would still be a new base to work from.
Yes and no. Some do, and those that Doe know the traditional are more likely to leave recipes(imho), so now I run a dual system. I'll offer the fish as both traditional, or the 'restaurant name' special version to add a twist. (As long as it's not adding too much overhead to my chef's, if it is, I'll drop whichever one i think isn't as good).
