Local Gulf fish rubbed with Cajun spices and seared in a hot cast-iron skillet.

Tip: Ask your server what fish is fresh that day. The blackening technique works better with some fish than others.

Marigny·$$

$28.00

Whole fish or fish fillets cooked over wood fire with seasonal vegetables.

Tip: Ask what Gulf fish came in today — the menu changes based on what's in season.
