Look pretty pricey as well.

30 bucks for fried catfish? 48 for stuffed flounder?

There was a thread a while back. It opens today, I think.

Prices work there.

Someone should tell Peche. Place is a comparative bargain.

The food was very average with a high cost and too much salt.


Yep. Sounds like Hot Tails.

I hope the bank gets their money back.

Buddy of mine was supposed to be a manager there, but I heard through the grapevine he got let go before they opened. Cheryl from Duvic's is going to be working there. She's awesome. My best wishes go out to them. They were talking about letting people bring in their own fresh catches and cooking them. Not sure if that's going to go through or not but it's an awesome idea.

Damn phones.

Well, the guy said "We're going to really aim this restaurant at winning James Beard awards and things like that,"

Gots to price that stuff right, brah.

I'm really confused how you name a restaurant after a particular type of fish and don't even serve it on the menu

For a second I looked at the title and thought I was on the outdoor board, with their Sacalait, sacaulait, sac-a-lait, sac-au-lait.

I wonder if it's possible to even commercially procure?

No doubt, if so, they'd be hawking the little buggers for 25-30 bucks a pop.

I know the owner, went to school with him. Good guy.

And with the name, it will be near impossible to stock a restaurant with sac-a-lait even for 1 busy night. My dad fishes nearly exclusively for sac au lait now that he's retired, and he's caught a bunch before (20-40) with my uncle, but you got to fish at the right time. And you can't exactly trawl for sac a lait.

Right now, it's terrible fishing for sac a lait. River is too high.

Place is positioning itself as a sort of downhome fish house type place, but is more expensive than August or Revolution.
