RED FISH GRILL
Today our former refugees treated us to lunch. THE CONTROLLER and our ex-refugees had been searching for oysters on the half shell for a long time. They were getting desperate. We were going to go to Bourbon House but it’s a good thing we called first, they had run out of oysters. We called here
And they had esters on the half so we ran over three old ladies and a small domestic animal to get there as fast as humanly possible. The dining room was not even half full. Here’s the oyster bar:
There were some adult beverages involved:
The soft, fresh, warm, wonderful bread came in a little French Bread paper thingie with redfish pictured on the outside:
This is my coconut shrimp with a sweet and peppery sauce. It was TO DIE FOR.
Yes it was.
Now ladies and gentlemen, the star of the show!
THE CONTROLLER, THE SOMMELIER and my sis each had two dozen oysters.
This is the only shucker, Mr. Rodney Montgomery. Very nice guy:
And my sis:
Now my batteries went dead so you can’t see the oyster and bbq shrimp po-boys, crab cakes or the shrimp remoulade salad with apple wood smoked bacon and vinaigrette. THE CONTROLLER raved about the potato salad which was deep fried. The crab cakes were among the best I’ve had, no breading or filler to speak of just beautiful lump crabmeat. The dessert was chocolate bread pudding (more like a soufflé). If you’d have heard the oooh’s and aaahhh’s you’d think you were somewhere other than a restaurant. It came with two sauces and was unlike any I dessert I’ve had. The oysters were understandably expensive at $14 a dozen. Worth every single penny.
*With all the oysters we ordered and the drinks we had, my rating of three dollar signs is much less than we spent but we went all out and got a lot more than you'd have at a normal lunch.
