Travels in the South

Oh my friends – mom/dad found the *best* local seafood restaurant.  It is called Fishers of Men and they are located at 1500 Mt Zion Road, Suite 20, Morrow.  They are open everyday except Sunday.

Mom/dad went there one Saturday night to check it out and they have since been back repeatedly.  Why?  Let me tell you why mom/dad like it so much.

The food is authentic.  As you’ve read on my blog, mom/dad like to travel and they like to eat.  They’ve eaten everywhere.  And this place can hold their own with some of the other restaurants they’ve been to all over the world.

The atmosphere is home. You go in, order and pay for your food.  Then you  find a comfy spot and wait smelling all of that deliciousness being created in the kitchen for your order.  There’s no rush to herd you out of the restaurant like some places do.  Everything is cooked fresh to order so it comes out sizzling hot.

And let me tell you one more thing.  You may go in as a stranger but you will leave as family.

When mom/dad went the first time, they ordered two of the whiting and shrimp dinners.  That’s four pieces of whiting and thirteen shrimp with fries.  They didn’t have any clue how much food they would get.  Look at all of that food!  And yes, dad said they snorted it all down – can you believe that?

There is a LOT of pictures below that mom/dad wanted to share with you – no they didn’t order everything at once – snorts with piggy laughter.  As I’ve said, they have been there many times in the past couple of weeks.

As they like to tell one of the owners Arlene, they are working their way through the menu.  Today, I wanted to share with you some of their fabulous food.  And, if you are in the area we highly suggest you try this place.

You will not regret it!  In fact, as mom/dad try more of their food, you might see them here again on Travels in the South.

Now try not to get too hungry looking at these gorgeous pictures!

In no particular order, the following pictures are:  scallops (sweet, succulent and flaky on the inside like they should be); crab sticks (we had to ask what these were too!  crab meat breaded and fried); oysters and catfish; whiting and shrimp; whiting and the best seafood salad and clams.  And let me add by saying there french fries are crispy and there onion rings are out of this world!!  Mom/dad have also tried their wonderful cole slaw and grits.  Yes grits are good for you!

Scrub Daddy

I gotta share something my friends.  I think this is simply hilarious.  Really I do.  This is it:

You see it looks kind of funny, right?  Mom bought it this weekend for daddy to use when he washes the dishes… you know since he is her personal dishwasher – snorts with piggy laughter.  Apparently you can put your fingers through the eyes and the mouth and it helps to ‘grip’ the sponge.  Mommy told daddy about it and he was like yeah sure.  

So later in the day, daddy uses Sponge Daddy.  And you know what?  Daddy absolutely LOVED it.  It’s kind of hard at first and then when it gets all soapy, it gets cushiony.  Daddy says you can hear the squeaks in the glassware cause it was cleaning so well.  AND daddy said he loved being able to put his fingers in the eyes and mouth to ‘grab’ it better.  He said he would highly recommend this product.  

Now we were not paid to endorse or not endorse the Scrub Daddy.  Mommy actually saw him at our local Home Depot store and bought one for less than $3.00.  She has since done research on it and saw where it was actually on Shark Tank – unbelievable huh?  

The next time you are out and about, you might want to look up a Scrub Daddy for yourself.  It seems that daddy really likes doing dishes now and has nicknamed his scrubber Smiley.  That’s original dad…. really it is – snorts.
