Chef's Favorite Menu Item

The owner shared many stories of spearing or catching triggerfish and cobia growing up in the Caribbean. I turned this passion into these two dishes, Martinique Cobia and Southern Style Triggerfish. I wanted them to represent the southern style with a Caribbean twist concept of the restaurant. They now have become two of our most recognized seafood entree dishes on the menu!
