I'm Terry and I have OUTSIDE, an outdoor living shop in The Gateway Quarter of OTR <BR/>(next to the Art Academy). Next time you're by this way, stop in and we'll 'visit' about our Alabama backgrounds and talk a little food too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-51723293518663711452008-07-12T13:50:00.000-04:002008-07-12T13:50:00.000-04:00Mikki-- bring the kiddies by so they can play with...Mikki-- bring the kiddies by so they can play with the cats. ;) They need some exercise!

The little ones and I were in OTR for the boy's final dress at Music Hall and we drove past AFB and I thought," I wonder when Julie will make it down here.

I'm pretty sure the perch & whiting are 5 filets and the cod is 6. Maybe they like the new guy!<BR/><BR/>Greasy: Yes indeed, the fish are always perfectly fried. They do one thing and they do it well. I still blot them with a paper towel (for the self-delusion of healthierness) but I've seen worse.<BR/><BR/>Sauces: mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, malt vinegar.<BR/><BR/>Peppers: Very spicy, very greasy.<BR/><BR/>Fries: I stick them under the broiler for a few minutes to make them crispy.<BR/><BR/>Spare a quarter?: You didn't mention whether anyone asked you for change. This is often part of the experience.WestEnderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170032373825704559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-33207063234470938912008-07-09T14:14:00.000-04:002008-07-09T14:14:00.000-04:00That's too bad-- I remember driving past there oft...That's too bad-- I remember driving past there often, noticing long lines and people coming out with already grease-soaked brown paper bags. <BR/><BR/>My favorite catfish is Aunt Flora's. Terry says it's so authentic that he tends to skip catfish when we go to Alabama-- quite a compliment.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911168030162240860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-23749014989969536302008-07-09T14:04:00.000-04:002008-07-09T14:04:00.000-04:00There's a similar place...Louisianna fish bar over...There's a similar place...Louisianna fish bar over on Queen City on the West Side. Don't bother...it's a mere shadow of its former glory.
