My boss's hubby has been chef at Dockside Dave's on Mad Beach for many years, since before they started moving it around to make room for condos .alphabits wrote:Dockside Dave's - St Pete Beach & Madeira Beach

Fried, definitely fried. (I suspect "fried" is actually deep fried)
As for the beer ...... cold, draft. A pilsner or other lager works for me.

Hmmm... riding in a trunk, the bed of a truck, or the back seat of a convertible on a freeway under luggage... which is the best option?

In my extensive research on this topic, Ravi has this EXACT response Are you two bros?
PS: Loves me some grouper sammiches! I've enjoyed Dockside Dave's, and others in the area but can't think of specifically where over the years. I have enjoyed Grouper Nuggets, or Gopher Nuggets as my daughter called them, at Caddy's on the Beach. I was there a couple weeks ago, but now I'm longing to go back!

Re: Fish Sandwich or Grouper Sandwich?
To tell the truth, I don't know if I've ever had a bad grouper sandwich in FL, so my list would be a long one. But for ambience: sitting under a tree, listening to an acoustic guitar player, sipping a cold brew and eating a grouper sandwich at Hog's Breath Saloon in KW is hog heaven for me.

Appreciate the local expertise OK, the other question was about toppings and sauce- what's the best? We don't have anything like this in Cali...

I don't know about "best" topping ..... I just go the simple route with some tartar sauce. Maybe a little lettuce and tomato. Enough to complement the fish but not overpower it.
A fish sandwich is just a fish sandwich. But a good grouper sandwich is ...... Nirvana!

Do they do fish tacos out east? That's the Cali answer to the fish sandwich.

MMMMM no I love both but
A. I have had bad fish tacos
B. comparing a Fish taco (cod in most places) to a Grouper Sandwich is like saying that Raviolis and Perogies are the same thing; they kinda are but not even close

Re: Fish Sandwich or Grouper Sandwich?
Not comparing just curious if fish tacos had made inroads in the gulf coast area. I guess all tastes can be acquired. I tried conch in Key West at a recommended spot and it didn't knock my socks off. Next time we're down that way I'll try the grouper sandwich.

Fried grouper Reuben at Islamorada Fish Company is pretty darn tasty.
More Doyle!

endive lettuce, mae ploy sauce. BBQ style (yes BBQ style) and a thousand other excuses not to learn how to
make a real authentic fish taco.
