It is that time of year again, kids! Time to vote for all of your favorites for City Paper’s Best of Charleston! I’ve already cast my ballot for Fish in several categories including: Best Restaurant (admittedly, I’m a bit biased), Best Downtown Restaurant, Best Chef (love to Nico), Best Wait Staff (very knowledgeable, and friendly too!), Best Wine Selection (Jodie and Evan work hard on this one) and Best Seafood (always local and fresh). It takes a few minutes, but it is a fun exercise to list all of the people, places and events that make Charleston such a great place to live. So go on, get to it. I’ll wait.

In other news, Fish is officially serving the new Winter Menu! Hurrah! Additions to note include an open face croque madame (one of my all time favorite sandwiches) with duck confit. Doesn’t that sound divine? Also new to the menu, the roasted golden trout with potato, zucchini and butternut squash quiche is supposed to be the most (to say the least). I have yet to try these new dishes, so I’ve planned to go to Fish on Tuesday and order the croque madame as an appetizer and the trout for my entrée and then use my girlish charm to convince my date to order the Mercy of the Chef menu so I can try that, too. So many intriguing new dishes, so little room in my stomach. Mental note: must skip lunch on Tuesday in preparation. I’ll let you know how it goes, or come try for yourself this weekend. Call 843.722.3474 for reservations.
