Last night I wrapped up Sunday Fun Day with a couple of beers at the Flying Saucer. The Sunday night bartender was wolfing down some grilled salmon from the Saucer’s sister restaurant the Flying Fish down the street. I’m not kidding, she was ANNIHILATING it. It made me hungry. So after brief stops at the Saucer and Goose tonight, I went to the Fish for to-go food.
A huge salmon filet, red beans and rice, squash, zucchini, and pico de gallo. (It’s hard to see the squash but it’s under the salmon.) Remember this configuration; in a minute I’m going to rearrange things.
Hula poppers: Jalapenos stuffed with cheese and shrimp, wrapped in bacon. Never had them but damn they sound good.
Couple of other Fish specials I want to report: 1) If you’re a University of Memphis student or faculty member, show your ID for 20% off. 2) Rolling Rock $1.50 during happy hour 4-7 PM.
And then there was this:
Why yes I am having a PBR while I wait for my food at the Fish. Too bad that this delicious beer can’t find its way down the street to the Fish’s sibling the Saucer. Despite the fact that FIVE OTHER SAUCERS have PBR on the regular menu. One of the other regulars did the research.
So, this is what I did to my meal. I chopped up the fish, zucchini and squash over the red beans and rice. Then I dumped the pico on top of it and mixed it up. Then I dumped a sample bottle of RedHot sauce (acquired at BBQ Fest) on top and mixed it again. Simply awesome.
Home just a little after 10. I planned to stay out longer, but apparently some Downtowners are not capable of putting on a tube top and hitting the bars 7 days a week. Fine. Whatever.
