Continent Restaurant & Cigar Lounge

The Best Fried Fish in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Chef Scotley Innis brought this elegant Afro-Caribbean restaurant to Buford Highway in 2021, and it’s done brisk business ever since. The cross-cultural cuisine at Continent ranges from Yardman oysters (similar to oysters Rockefeller) layered with the leafy Jamaican vegetable callaloo, duck bacon, garlic butter, and parmesan cheese to oxtail lo mein mixed with savory braised meat, baby bok choy, and chambray onions. One of the seafood stars on the menu is the fried whole snapper atop a creamy red coconut sauce served with a side of Szechuan-style vegetables. Reservations recommended." - Beth McKibben
