We loved Frenchy's so much! Our first beach meal had to be special so Candis researched and the locals go HERE! Their specialty is gulf grouper, which I've never had before. I ordered the Fried Grouper Cheeks, Homemade Potato Chips, and Pineapple Coleslaw. Candis got Shrimp and Grits, Ayanna a Shrimp Po Boy, and Allen the standard Bacon Cheeseburger done medium and plain with fries. I had to look up what grouper cheeks were and they are literally the cheeks of a grouper. The waitress said that it's like the dark meat of the fish. I love dark meat. I have never tasted anything like it before. First one was without the sauce and it was like a fried tablespoon of butter! So good, so tender. The batter was thin and perfect. The homemade chips were just how I like them. A little thinner than kettle chips, warm, and cooked until they're just turning brown. Pineapple Coleslaw was a well taken risk. It was a creamy mix of vinegar and pineapple juice with crisp cabbage. Candis lived her shrimp and grits. It was a little spicy, and smoky. The grits were one of a kind. They topped it with homemade onion straws. Ayanna devoured the po boy and said it was just like it should be. Allen loved the bacon cheeseburger. The staff was super friendly and even got us out in time to see the Gulf sunset. I would bro highly recommend.
