Finally used my Fish Market 280 Groupon today for lunch with my co-workers! It's always exiting to know you are getting a full meal for half off. My deal was $7 for $15 of food during lunch, although I ended up spending an extra $2.
While I frequent the restaurant, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to eat today. So many thoughts raced through my mind such as "you have $15! order what you want!" and "you better not order that poboy, you actually worked out last night!" After 10 minutes of convincing myself to order something "healthy" or "different", I decided to go with the grilled shrimp salad, no olives (don't like them), ranch dressing, and a side of hush puppies. I didn't know at the time the salad came with a baked potato, something I refuse to eat with only butter and sour cream. Needless to say, I didn't eat the potato. The salad however was great as expected, and I was thrilled that I decided to "splurge" on the hush puppies because they were better than a slice of cheesecake! If I had to be critical (which I can be on this blog), I would prefer less parsley on the salad. It just does something in my mouth that I'd prefer to do without.
One of my lunch mates ordered fish and chips. For some reason, they forgot two pieces of fish from her order, which already contained four large strips of fish, and brought them to the table. So she let me have them to "taste." They too were yummy! We couldn't quite distinguish the fish, but I could tell it wasn't the usual cheap tilapia, and definitely wasn't the southern staple catfish. It had a very light flavor yet meaty. So if I had to take a guess, I'd go with grouper.
In summary, today's lunch was yummy as expected. The Fish Market on 280 has yet to disappoint. If you have never been, or are afraid to go because you don't eat seafood, they have chicken too! Check it out next time you are in the area.
