re: Went to the Mike Anderson’s off Lee last night

You're focused on the amount of food for some reason. If it was trout or drum, fine, but it's catfish. I can go to Commanders Palace for lunch today and get a two course meal for $18.

I’m just saying catfish isn’t the greatest quality fish, and I would be willing to pay that amount for better a better catch of fish, but by no means should catfish be priced that high. This is just my opinion

That’s original, about as good as your post on the wrong board.

Look at the two course specials. For $18 you can get a cup of turtle soup and crawfish boil fried chicken salad. Other times it has been cochon de lait, or fish or some other meat.

So a cup of soup and a salad, then

Are you really this thick? As I said, it is often a pork or fish dish as well. That is a sample menu and may not actually be what's available today. I've been to commanders many times over the years and that special is always present and with a variety of entrees featured.

And that's a lunch menu special which typically is a smaller portion for a cheaper price than it would normally be. I recognize that it's not entirely about portion size, but you can't tell me that doesn't play a factor.

And this guy was at Mike's for dinner, not lunch. So you're truly comparing two different meals altogether. Try going to Commander's for $18 at dinner.

But perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about, I've become extremely jaded about dining prices living where I do. It's much higher here than back home in Louisiana. $17 would be the price of a burger at most places for lunch, so catfish and shrimp for $17 sounds like a good price to me.

I wasn't claiming I eat at fancy places, just that prices for things are absurd.

I'm not worried about portion size, rather quality for the dollar and two pieces of cheap arse catfish and four regularly fried shrimp for $17 from a trough like Anderson's is a poor deal.

If I go somewhere I am aware of the prices and I am not going to complain if something is a little more expensive than I might assume, but I will say that $34.00 for a seafood platter is a little pricey. I went to Pat's in Henderson a few weekends ago and I want to say the seafood platter there was $22.00 and you probably get a little more at Pat's than you do at Mike Anderson's.

I don't know about you, but I get 3 meals out of their seafood platter. Lunch for two more days. How much food do they give you at Pat's? You must need a wheelbarrow to get to the car after eating there.
