Flying Fish – Seafood
This high-energy seafood shack captures the spirited essence of a coastal fish camp, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of simmering gumbo and the irresistible crunch of golden-fried favorites. Diners dive into a playful array of bold flavors, from zesty Mexican shrimp cocktails and citrusy ceviche to adventurous bites of crispy gator nuggets and spicy hula poppers. It is a vibrant, communal space where the clink of chips dipped in alligator queso and the warmth of rich crawfish chowder invite guests to linger over a true Southern seafood feast.
