A couple years ago I served fresh grouper tacos instead of white fish tacos. We had so many complaints from the tourists that the fish was too fishy. $2.15 a pound for white fish. $11.99 a pound for fresh grouper. What would you do as a business owner?



Sounds like a weak excuse in my opinion. Same with Louisiana joints that serve imported catfish to cut cost.

On pizza ti eat at home I’d recommend Janinos. Usually eat there but this time was talked into trying Crico’s. Only because Janine’s won’t deliver east of 59. Well we will now go to them now as Janinos is far better then Crico’s. If you like soggy pizza with everything but the kitchen sink Crico’s is your place. If you like real pizza and real crust and sauce and cheese I’d go to Janinos. They also make a great side salad.

Playa is closed for business. Same owners as Fishers that is also closed. There is a new pizza shop on 59 called Nonnis that has gotten some reviews. Also Galway, an Irish pub with food has opened up this week. It’s near the Tacky Jacks in Gulf Shores across from The Ugly Diner.

We’ve been enjoying the Sloop under the bridge in Gulf Shores. Great Philly cheesesteak.


Pro tip….get the stuffed “shrooms” and dunk the Philly in the sauce that the white cheese sauce the mushrooms are cooked in.

I can give you all that! But I only serve raw oysters lol
are you the navy cove guy??

any visit to gulf shores that doesn't involve a stop at the sassy bass for NC oysters should be considered illegitimate.

otis opened my eyes. best oysters ever.

and say what you want but sassy bass has legit fried shrimp and drinks.

Ate at Acme Oyster House in Gulf Shores week or so ago. Solid. Very good Louisiana raw oysters. Po-boys (shrimp, ouster and soft shell crab) were great. One had a crab cake which was good. Good drink menu. Will go back.
