Grits with Fish

Sixacresand · February 06, 2016, 09:22:32 AM

Our Sunday School class recently went on an outing to a fish restaurant. There were two huge crock pots: one with regular grits and one with cheese grits, both were like appetizers, all you could eat. On the table were huge baskets of hush puppies, all you could eat. Even though I ordered and ate a twelve dollar fish dinner, but would have been just as happy (and full) with the grits, hush puppies and an iced tea.

Hushpuppies, cheese grits, and fried fish, a match made in heaven.

X2.

And if you are from Central Florida south add swamp cabbage (Heart of palm) to the menu.

Although we have now moved much further north we have a couple of fish fries a year here at the house and we have cheese grits (the grits are smuggled in by visiting relatives as hard to find here) and our friends love the grits although most of them did not grow up eating them. They are a special treat for them and they expect them. Some eat 3-4 helpings of grits before they leave.

thecfarm · February 06, 2016, 09:33:00 PM

I would leave 3-4 helpings too. ;D

Doesn't sound to bad either way... guess it is because I'm about as in the middle as it gets.

Yep......but some folks just don't get it.

Not many grit eater's here in south Arkansas they must have drown trying to swim big muddy after eating grits. :D :D :D Fried fish, fried taters hushpuppies, baked beans, and coleslaw.

I have eaten plenty of fish and plenty of Grits, but never together. Matter of fact, this thread is the first time that I have ever heard of the two being served together.

MM,

Now I am sorely wounded because I know in the past I have posted about having fish fries here at home with cheese grits and how popular the grits were with our guests. We even had some discussion about the cheese grits vs plain grits. The rest of our menu looks like what elk42 posted.

In fact, if we don't have distinguished guests to impress we may even have French fries or more often baked tater tots instead of grits.

You gotta remember that I have 10 more years of forgetfulness on my side.

Not on this thread, but here on the FF is the first time that I remember hearing about Cheese Grits. Buttered Grits was the only way that they were served when I was growing up. My first experience with Shrimp & Grits was at Lady & Sons in Savannah, Ga. Now they were good. Cracker Barrel is OK.

MM,

They say the memory is the second thing to go and I can't remember what the first one was.

In all actuality I never heard of cheese in grits till I was grown either. I don't remember when I first had them but they are good.

I just recently found out Popeyes serves a Shrimp Po Boy sandwich. I need to try that the next time I am anywhere there is a Popeyes. I worked a 3 month project outside New Orleans and fell in love with Po Boys.

That is the way to serve fish & grits.....

I'll saye it again, just for the sake of being clear... Fish & Chips ( Chips here are also known as fries) ... Just for those not knowing. :P
