Seriously, this special at @pechenola is one of the most magnificent servings of fish I can recount. Louisiana seafood at its highest and best.

Triple tail, spear caught a couple days ago, I’m told. Cooked scales on (“fisherman style”), with a chanterelle butter, crowned with tomatoes for some juicy acidity over the buttery fish.

I flinched at the $82 price tag, but this is a fish for two, and like splitting a large format steak, turned out to be a good value to quality to quantity ratio.

Magnificent in fact. We scrapped it down to get the dark fatty bits by the skin, and considered keeping the scales as a souvenir, but no.

Crab salad with buttermilk and dill, the shrimp salad with a very Southeast Asian via Deep South profile, and fried okra to complete the meal.
