| - I've come to a realization recently. I don't like battered fish. No beer batter, no fish and chips, nope, not at all. I like fish, and I like things fried, so I kept ordering it thinking maybe I just hadn't found the right one yet. Then it dawned on me - I like cornmeal crusted fish!
I have a long love affair with Cajun cooking. My Papa was a Cajun, and man could he cook. I have grown up with the food and the culture (Zydeco music anyone?).
We tried a sampling of the menu - fried perch, fried shrimp, General Jackson's chicken, red beans and rice, coleslaw, potato salad, and fries. Everything was great! The fish was cornmeal crusted and crunchy, very flavorful. The red beans and rice were spicier than expected, and the General Jackson's chicken is extremely spicy. All the sides were amazing, except the fries, which were just fries and so get the awesome stuff instead! The food is more New Orleans, than Southwest Louisiana (what I'm more familiar with).
The actual restaurant is very small, and not really family friendly. There is no high chair, and no large tables. Its unassuming and in a small strip mall, but a good place to take a date, or meet a friend for dinner. If you have more than 2-3 people, then order the take out!
