Fried Fish Sandwich
This is potentially the world's largest fried fish sandwich — absolutely insane. Most fried seafood is boring because they coat it in flour and fry it with no flavor, but this fish has so much flavor you almost don't even need tartar sauce, which is a crazy thing to say. The seasoning is unreal.
Triple Play Plate
The Triple Play plate is $25 for this entire thing — it's like 5 pounds. You get fried shrimp, every part is flaky and seasoned. Wait a minute, this shrimp is unreal — I was not expecting that. The shrimp is like sweet. This man is a wizard back there.
