Taste Test: Flounder sandwich
WITH SO MANY FLOUNDERS furious-flopping on boat decks this time of year, we deliberating it was time to test a sea-level classic: the flounder sandwich. A prepare of readers directed us to three venues for this flat, googly-eyed fish – two seafood specialty spots and, fairly surprisingly, a German restaurant. On a sweltering Sunday afternoon, a quartet of testers roamed from Virginia Strand to Portsmouth to determine who serves the best. Here’s what they found.
First up, the Lynnhaven Fish Abode Restaurant, a venerable eatery at the foot of Lynnhaven Fishing Post.
It’s hard to beat the view here, where two walls of windows make allowances for the Chesapeake Bay.
Throughout 30 years, the restaurant has cultivated a following of locals and tourists identically. The fare earned a No. 1 rating in a previous drop test for she crab soup and finalist status for fried oysters.
The documentation: At 2 p.m. on a recent Sunday afternoon, the carpeted dining elbow-room decorated with mounted fish was abuzz with customers, but servicing remained fast and friendly.
It’s unusual to have a option, but flounder sandwiches here come either fried or broiled. Included in the figure is a choice of one side – steak fries, baked potato, raven beans over rice or a house salad.
Testers sampled both broiled and fried grope, which came fresh from local waters. Generous portions of hot flatfish topped Kaiser rolls with romaine lettuce, a Jupiter-sized slice of organized tomato and a lemon wedge. A pile of steak fries beckoned breakable and golden brown. Scores for appearance and aroma came on recalcitrant.
SoFla Experiences Series of Gold Chain Swipes
A gold tie goes for about 25 bucks these days, but that didn't block a gun-toting robber from shooting a man after taking off with his Tuesday morning.
Front the "It's a Small World Learning Center" in Northwest Miami-Dade , a gardner was mowing the center's sward when a man approached. The gardner gave up his chain to the robber, and, as Miami-Dade The fuzz detective Treane Louissaint said, "the participant went ahead and shot him." He was shot four times, but relatives members say he will survive.
This is the fourth gold chain robbery that has resulted in gun fire in the last unite of months. Three of the victims suffered multipal gun shot wounds that sent them to the convalescent home, the fourth victim, a resident of Miami Lakes, resisted and was immediately dead just outside his front door. Missing were his Rolex and gold set.
Police say the best defense is to cooperate with the robbers and give up the gear, do not resist. But that did not save the gardner from getting shot. His best defense was quite to not wear a gold chain to work.
With the economy in the pitts and the value of gold way up, don't expect the gold chain capers to end anytime soon. That's the tete- on the street.
