"OMGoodness... It's a lil hole in the wall with big heart... And great fried fish!!! ??? The best fried fish I ever had from someone else kitchen... Fried with cornmeal to perfection????!!! It was my first time... I had been craving some good fried fish for a while... Had a few bad tries... That left me upset???? because I waisted my money!!! My picture does it no justice.... The only thing was wasn't pleased about was no restroom... So empty your bladder before you go. I actually left to find a restroom and came back. Soooooo glad I did. I ordered the red snapper (6 pieces) ? I was up set because it was sooooo good that I wanted to eat it all but was too full ???. They have the door propped open so when I went in I was a lil concerned because there were a few flies in there... I was able to see where they prepare the fish... It was clean and the person preparing the fish had on gloves ??? it was 82 degrees outside. When I got my fish... The smell was so good!!! The portion was way bigger than I expected.... Please note that the tray the food came in was deep. They actually put the small pieces of fish that broke off in there too ??? it was flakey and full of flavor. I also tried the oysters... I was able to order just 2 and that was not on the menu options!!! Customer service was amazing!!! Very accommodating to make sure I had what I wanted!!! Love the have a blessed day, after I went back in to get more tarter sauce (something that I almost didn't get but felt like the wonderful lady was telling to get in a very subtle way to get it) I don't really like tarter sauce , after tasting it... I paid to get extra????... It definitely taste like home made...??? In one of the worst times of my life with the loss of 5 family members in less than a 3 month span... It was definitely comfort food!!! I wish I could have shared it with my daddy??? He would have loved it!!! Shout out to Deidre... Sorry if I spelled your name wrong honey... And shout out to the person cooking with wonderful clean habits??? You guys rock!!!"
