While fish are often referred to as the chicken of the sea, it is an ill comparison, as fish do not roost and chickens can survive only briefly underwater. Enjoy the sea's most abundant eatable with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of fried seafood and sandwiches at City Fish and More on State Avenue.
City Fish and More serves a menu of crispy, deep-fried fish in a casual, semi-fast-food atmosphere. Diners can feast on bone-in whole catfish or ask chefs to batter and bread boneless tilapia, snapper, and basa in a special blend of seasonings that yield a mild yet spicy flavor and a golden-brown coat of armor. Fish can be ordered in half-pound ($5.99–$6.49), three-quarter-pound ($9.99–$11.49), and one-pound ($11.99–$14.99) servings, based on the size of your appetite. Three-quarter-pound and one-pound fish orders come sidekicked with custom accouterments such as hush puppies, fried okra, or potato salad. Crustacean connoisseurs can pop a half-pound of boiled shrimp ($8.99) or eight jumbo fried shrimp ($9.99). City Fish also serves fare hailing from terra firma such as chicken tenders ($6.99) and italian steak sandwiches ($4.99). These platters can be partnered with a spattering of more than 25 sides, including zucchini stix ($2.79), onion rings ($2.79), and corn on the cob ($1.09).
City Fish and More has been in business since 1982, and its current owner is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who opened one of the city's first fresh fish markets in 1938. Inside this family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere, diners can relax in a dining room decked with cozy tables, intimate booths, and talkative hanging lights.
