Getting Fresh with Fish

by M. Frank

I sometimes have this urge to cheat...with fried food! I passed by this fairly new restaurant, Island Fresh, many times and was always a bit curious, but had never crossed that line. What I had finally experienced was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned and lightly fried fish and seafood. I talked to the owner, Andrew, a very friendly and welcoming Jamaican guy, as he fixed me up a combo of oyster, catfish and shrimp. Even the side of greens was delicious.
