Got drunk to-go food from The Flying Fish tonight, and while I was waiting I snapped a pic of their board listing their specials. So here’s how to get some cheap food at the Fish:
The Friday deal (2 lb. of snow crabs) is particularly good, that’s like $8 off.
I got the grilled salmon plate to go. When it came out I shook habanero sauce and green sauce all over it and then cut it all up (salmon, beans, rice, zucchini, squash, pico de gallo) and mixed it all together with the hot sauces all over it. You gotta try it that way. Don’t be scared of the hot sauce. In 2002-03 there was a bar at the corner of Fourth and Gayoso that had “Hot Fish and Cold Forty Fridays.” So, see, put hot sauce on your salmon and you’ll be respecting your Downtown heritage. Jack’s at Main and Jefferson has 40s if you want to go even more old-school than I did.
There’s a major event downtown tomorrow (Tuesday) night – so major that I’m NOT going to blog it, for fear that my own readers might prevent me from getting in. If you want to know what’s going on e-mail me.
