The best étouffée in town

My visit to Parish made me crave étouffée, so I ended up visiting Redfish (687 Memorial Dr., 404-475-1200) a few days later. Owner/Chef Gregg Herndon’s version is the best in town. It’s wonderfully fragrant, spicier than most versions and filling, thanks to a large quantity of crawfish.

We also ordered an appetizer special — a huge soft shell crab stuffed with the restaurant’s crawfish cake, fried and served with a jalapeño remoulade. It’s rarely available, but if it is, do not miss it.
