When you think of New Orleans food the last thing that pops into your mind is FISH TACOS. “Wait dahlin. That jus ain’t Noo Ahyens. Right? No. Wrong! After Katrina, thousands of Hispanics from all over Central America and Mexico came to New Orleans to help rebuild the city. The food there has become a truly American mix as the Latin cuisines of the south have married up with the Cajun and Creole food that has made this city famous. All over town there are little neighborhood restaurants and scores of food trucks that provide great street food at great prices. When I lived there the closest thing to a fish taco was Taco Bell and frankly, in a city with the kind of food New Orleans has available, TB was never on my radar.
In recent visits I have had some outstanding examples of the kind of “street food” that now has become commonplace. As some of you may know my culinary roots are in New Orleans where I had my first real cooking job, and where I essentially learned my trade. Because of the skyrocketing price of corn last spring, we had to discontinue our famous Tuesday night “all you can eat catfish” that became so popular over last fall and winter. We have decided to replace that with our soon to be famous, NEW ORLEANS FISH TACO NIGHT! Two fish tacos, from the very freshest fish available, lightly blackened with, red beans and rice, and a well margarita on the rocks or any of our on tap beers for $12! We love our locals and this is one way of thanking you for all your support. Don,t forget, Wednesday is still Burger Night, and we have plans for doing a fresh mussel night on Thursdays. “LIKE DUDE, YOO DON’T HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM FOR MUSSELS!” Stay tuned for more
