 At Red Fish Grill, restaurateur Ralph Brennan sought to create an environment different from that of any other seafood house in the French Quarter. The restaurant’s several dining spaces spill over with whimsy and energy, and that concept follows through to the kitchen. The menu specializes in clever riffs on local favorites, usually to good effect. Seasonal entrées keep the menu fresh and inviting. In autumn, look for hickory-grilled fish, while summer brings lighter lump crab meat specialties. The blackened catfish sandwich with shrimp and tomato rémoulade is a lunchtime taste explosion, while a panéed pork loin is served with roasted sweet potato and toasted almonds. The chef treats Gulf fish tenderly; a crispy whole redfish is served with orzo and black olive aïoli. The double chocolate bread pudding and a sweet potato ice cream profiterole sundae supply over-the-top desserts. A long, cool oyster bar provides a good perch for knocking back a dozen cold bivalves. As with all of Ralph Brennan’s restaurants, the wine list is extensive and well-conceived. Pay special attention to the limited offerings under ‘Unique Whites” and “Unique Reds,” a rotating section of distinctive and selective brands. Red Fish Grill features one of the French Quarter’s liveliest happy hours, called “Hook up After Hours,” Mon.-Thurs. at the oyster bar.
