"An ode to the fish fries in Independence Heights, pitmaster Greg Gatlin’s restaurant offers fried chicken and seafood staples, including expertly fried shrimp, oyster, and catfish combinations coming in the form of platters, po’boys, and more. Start with a bowl of Everything Gumbo, chargrilled oysters, or the spicy miso shrimp — then decide whether to devour fried fish piece by piece or sandwiched between two pieces of fluffy bread. For a well-loved dish that exudes Houston, go for the H-Town Hot Sandwich, which features crispy fish or chicken tossed in a Viet-Cajun hot sauce, topped with basil coleslaw, pickles, and fries." - Brittany Britto Garley
