MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

It's part fish market, part casual restaurant here, where a single communal table and stools lined up at the windows await guests. Order at the back counter from a compact, seafood-focused menu listing oysters, crudos, sandwiches and soups. This is not your typical fried fish shack, though, and many of the dishes have a Southern slant to them. Peel and eat shrimp is a good standby, while tuna melts level up. Specials are always a good bet, but the house staple—the blackened grouper sandwich—is a winner. A thick piece of generously spiced, blackened grouper is draped over a buttered, toasted seeded bun with Florida sauce, pickled peppers, ripe tomato and lettuce for something far from fussy but totally spot on. Gumbo is flavorful and hearty.
