SOFT-SHELL CRAB AT FELIX’S
“I tried an old favorite that I have not had for quite some time, the soft-shell crab at Felix’s. It did not disappoint. The crabs were fried to the right tenderness, and the sauce was as good as ever. The sides of turnips and coleslaw made the meal. Crab claws and crawfish as appetizers prepared us for the main dish.” — Errol D. Crook, MDAbraham A. Mitchell Chairman of Internal Medicine, USA Health
Felix’s Fish Camp • 1530 Battleship Parkway, Spanish Fort. 626-6710

FRIED CATFISH FINGERS AT ED’S
“The fried catfish fingers paired with turnip greens was a great choice for lunch. The fish was fresh, battered lightly with cornmeal and was melt-in-your-mouth good. The greens were also fresh and cooked as they should be — with plenty of pork for seasoning. The catfish fingers aren’t always on the menu, so my suggestion would be to order them while you can!” Marietta Urquhart, Commercial Associate & Realtor, White-Spunner Realty
Ed’s Seafood Shed • 3382 Battleship Parkway, Spanish Fort. 625-1947

THE RED OR WHITE PIZZA AT RED OR WHITE
“Red or White is a great spot for a girls’ night out or date night! I love that you can pick your favorite wine or try something new from the vast selection. Try pairing your wine with their red or white pizza. It has a smoky roasted pepper sauce, Italian sausage, whole milk ricotta, mozzarella, and crumbled feta cheese and is baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. It’s great to share, or take home your leftovers.” — Lucy Pryor Slaton, President, Junior League of Mobile
Red or White Wine • 104 Dauphin St. 478-9494

RIBS AT TEXARBAMA BBQ
Get Texas-style barbecue right on Fairhope Avenue the next time you have a serious hankering for slow-cooked, perfectly seasoned brisket. I certainly loved my half-pound slab with coleslaw, smoked mac and cheese, fresh onions, dill pickles and a fine slice of Texas white bread, to boot. I absolutely had no room left for some mighty tempting banana pudding or chocolate pecan pie. TexarBama BBQ — my kind of place!Cecil Christenberry, Owner, Old Tyme Feed & Garden Supply
Texarbama BBQ • 212 1/2 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope. 270-7250
