I think I had the BBQ shrimp last time and turned into a stick of butter afterwards. I don't love fried food but I love seafood, especially fish. Any suggestions on what to order? We are taking friends who love the place so we know that they will be happy no matter what. Tue Apr 14 17:45:04 -0700 2009 157628 robrob 1 4597419 Some of my favorites are....

Just about everything named above is fried: the rabbit is fried, the fried r.b. poboy is er...fried, calamari...fried, Godzilla...fried, etc. etc. I suppose you could use those recs for your friends though, as they are all good recs. I had a hard time making recs within your parameters: Non-fried seafood, especially fish. I'm thinking they must have some sort of grilled or non-fried seafood, but I'd be lying if I said I'd tried it. When I go, I get fried chicken. It's some of the best in town, imo.

I found them to be mushy and I believe they were made with the heads off....which is not how I make them or prefer them to be made. They tend to lean heavily on the fried food but their menu may have changed slightly since my last visit. I am sure you will find something, but if you don't like fried food you may want to consider dining elsewhere.

Wed Apr 15 11:07:56 -0700 2009 4596262 106108 Shiloh 1 4599344 They usually have a blackend redfish (or some subsitiute) on the menu. I've had it before. It does come in a butter based sauce, so you may want to ask for light on the sauce or have it one the side. Wed Apr 15 15:53:13 -0700 2009 4596262 176359 vant27 1 4600230 They sometimes have a sauteed drum that is to die for! I am not a big fan of fried food either so it is always a good choice. Be sure to order the corn as one of your side. Hope it helps Wed Apr 15 23:05:56 -0700 2009 4596262 283117 evejoli 1 4600661 i enjoy the seafood stuffed pork chop. as noted the friend chicken is some of the best in town, but as also noted would not be your bag ;) Thu Apr 16 06:45:38 -0700 2009 4596262 143137 kibbles
