I had forgotten we tried Grouper Tacos at The Blue Parrot in 2012. Why hadn't we taken up the quest after that meal, I wonder? We still had the Road King then.
Anyway.......we recently tried the Mahi Mahi Tacos at Mad Anthony's Waterfront Grille and so far - these are the absolute best. Packed into a soft and hard taco shell, loaded with fat chunks of fish and a dollop of sweet chilli sauce. I could hurt myself.
But that's not the only thing special about Mad Anthony's Grille - it's worth the trip just to order the hearty serving of cheese grits. Last time we asked about the cooking method. You can tell they aren't instant grits. The cook simmers them all day long. A Southern classic.
Did we have enough food? Why yes, yes we did. But the temptress waitress mentioned a Devil's food cheesecake dessert and we had to have it. Fortunately common sense prevailed and we only ordered one piece to split. Lovely display.
Look how fat this is. Decadently cheesy and chocolately and iced with a sweet fudge topping.
This trip definitely set the bar high for future taste tests, looking for that perfect fish taco. We will be eating at Mad Anthony's again soon....maybe on vacation. I can't wait!
Hope all is well in your world.

I'm not even the biggest fan of fish tacos and those look absolutely amazing! And the grits! I'm not really a lover of grits but there's not much better than really well prepared cheese grits. You're nice to have shared that cheesecake. I think I would have attacked anyone with my fork who tried to sneak a bite. I do not share dessert!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! They look delicious. I think the search would have to be life long 😉
ReplyDeleteKatherine, you mentioned before you didn't like grits and you may lose your Southern card over it, lol - but I know you love the cheese grits! I'm from the Philadelphia area and I was first introduced to them when I was in my mid 20s, love them still!
ReplyDeleteOh Mrs L, I do believe this will be a life long search. We made some at home after having such good ones in restaurants. They were quite good. Will post about it. Loved your photos from Spain.
So, I guess weather is better down there now? Hope you survived the deluges. I would love a bowl of those grits!
ReplyDeleteVicki, if you don't like seafood then you may not like these tacos. But, if you liked the taste of Mahi Mahi then that's all this in, stuffed inside a tortilla.
ReplyDeleteDebra - the weather sucked! We had a brutal day of hard rain but then the storm passed quickly afterwards.
The cheesecake looks incredible! I envy you all those fish tacos. All the really good Mexican restaurants near me get failing marks from the health department.

I've never found a fish taco I loved, but these looks pretty darn good. I have to admit my eyes went to those cheesy grits; I think I must have been a Southerner in a previous life cause I do love grits.
ReplyDeleteI am mad about fish tacos have them whenever I can find them.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling all over this post. Must get some fish tacos!
ReplyDeleteThat dessert is simply divine. Have a great week. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteI adore a good fish taco--I make them often at home and they are a frequent order for me at restaurants. These look delicious--as do the grits and that decadent cheesecake. Yum! ;-)
ReplyDeleteFish tacos, cheese grits and that sublime dessert? Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI do believe I want to go on your next road trip. Love all the great food you discovered. Maybe I should try making some cheese grits as no restaurants here do them.
