Falling In Love With Crispy Flounder.....

Yes, ya'll it's true. I have fallen madly in love with the crispy flounder at Hyman's Seafood in downtown Charleston. Have you ever been to Hyman's Seafood on Meeting Street downtown? If you have, then you know how great the food is. If you haven't, then you have to go- TODAY. Cancel whatever plans you have and go today and order the crispy flounder. This flounder is fried fish perfection on a plate. It's a whole flounder- head removed- scored and fried. It covers the entire plate! Best of all, because it's scored you can easily pull off these chunks of fish that are crispy on the outside edges and moist on the inside. It is always perfectly cooked. It comes with three lemon wedges. I recommend using one per side (oh yes... there are two sides to this fishy love of my life). You don't want to make your crispy flounder all soggy. You just want to accentuate the delicate flavor of the flounder with a little lemon. It also comes with a little cup of what Hyman's calls chutney. To me, it's more like a cross between duck sauce and Thai chili sauce, but it's absolutely awesome on this fish. You also get to pick one side to accompany your crispy flounder, and I recommend grits. What can I say???? I'm a Southern gal. Oh, I almost forgot, it also comes with hushpuppies which are good, but don't eat them. They will just fill you up and you won't be able to finish the awesome awesome crispy flounder. Now, when you go don't be overwhelmed by Hyman's extensive menu. There are many tasty menu selections listed, and you will be tempted to order something more fancy than a plain ole' fried flounder considering you have cancelled your plans, drove to downtown Charleston, paid for parking, walked three blocks, AND waited for a table. But don't do it! Stick to your guns! Order the crispy flounder. You will be glad you did, and if not, well you can order something else next time...
