Mitchell’s Fish Market Review Appetizer: Crab Spinach + Artichoke Dip Entrée: Lobster + Shrimp Stuffed Cod, Loaded Smashed Potatoes, Asparagus Sides: Caesar Salad, French Bread and Fresh Butter Dessert: Mini Shark Fin Pie Ever had a dream so lovely that you wish you could go back to sleep and start right where you left off? That’s how I felt. The hubby and I went on a date that was so perfect I wish I could replay it. He had me laughing so much my cheeks hurt, and he knows I love to laugh. There is only one thing that I would change about that night; the chocolate brown peep toe five-inch high wedge sandals I chose to wear that night. Oh, they were plenty cute, they just severely lacked comfort. God my feet hurt so badly; I tried to stay sexy and walk through the pain, but I think that made the pain ten times worse. The hubby and I had a more than great dinner and saw a heartfelt film; even though we originally wanted to see the movie Get Out, it wasn’t showing that night. Oddly enough on a weekend night, we had the restaurant and movie theater to ourselves. I’m not complaining in the least; the fact that we were alone made things even better. Now I want to talk about the lovely food we had. I always have great food when I go to Mitchell’s. The thing is I always get the same thing every time: blackened tilapia. With the pressure of my husband, I tried something new; and I am so happy that I did. We got crab and shrimp artichoke dip for an appetizer that was delicious! Melted white cheese entangled with wilted spinach, generous chunks of crab and artichoke topped with Pico de gallo had me in love from the first bite. They served the artichoke dip with these deliciously crunchy house made corn chips that I dunked deep into the side of warm oval appetizer bowl. When I witnessed the cheese stretch, I almost fell out…well maybe not, but you get the point. For my entrée I ordered lobster and shrimp stuffed cod with white wine garlic sauce, loaded redskin smashed potatoes, and asparagus. OH, MY GOODNESS. The lobster and shrimp stuffing was too tasty for me to handle. The cod was cooked and seasoned lightly yet perfectly, but that sauce was the star of the show. That buttery garlic yet slightly acidic sauce was everything. I wished I could get a bottle to go. Well, maybe not; I might try to put it on too many things. The potatoes were cooked perfectly topped with cheddar cheese; applewood smoked bacon, a sprinkle of fresh green onion and the perfect amount of sour cream. Yum is not close to a word suitable for what my taste buds were experiencing. Then I had this delicious tenderly cooked asparagus that I kept dipping in the extra white wine garlic sauce with every bite; I told you the sauce was delish. The only complaint I have, which isn't even considered a real complaint, is that I wish I had more than three asparagus spears. It’s not that the plate was lacking at all, but that asparagus was just so good! Everything at Mitchell’s is good and fresh. If you like great food prepared fresh by a chef who cares, go to Mitchell’s Fish Market. I love Mitchell’s, and I will be back! Oh and we had a great waitress who did more than just her job; she went above and beyond. She was very hospitable; I felt like I was at my grandma’s house. Anybody that carries themselves with love and dignity like grandma already wins in my book. P.S. I almost forgot about the salad, bread and butter and dessert until I looked at the pictures! The salad was fresh and flavorful, the bread and butter were both fresh, and the dessert was a sweet semi-frozen treat layered with bold but complimenting flavors; decadent chocolate, creamy peanut butter, sweet caramel, rich whipped cream and salty peanuts. Yum yum yum! Summary
