Get the Delicious Dish
To say that there have been some menu changes at GW Fins is not a fair assessment.
Over the course of a year, the restaurant serves over 80 varieties of fish and shellfish with varying methods of preparations and cooking techniques that simply enhance the inherent, natural flavors of the seafood. Many of these preparations have become beloved menu staples that will remain present when available: Delicious drop biscuits on arrival; Lobster Dumplings; Sizzlin’ Smoked Oysters with lemon-butter sauce Crispy Fried Maine Lobster Tail with Remoulade Slaw; Peppercorn-Crusted Swordfish; Wood-Grilled Sea Scallops; Sides of Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Bourbon, vanilla bean and bananas and Louisiana Crawfish Hush Puppies and Tenney’s signature Apple Pie with Cheese Straw Crust with vanilla Ice Cream for two and Frozen Fruit Souffles.
Crispy Soft Shell Crab with Creamed Corn and Smithfield Ham – Plump, crispy soft shells are enhanced by the sweet, cream of the corn ( a classic combination braced by the salty and decidedly southern Smithfield ham.
Sauteed Mangrove Snapper with a Rice Noodle Cake, Thai Curry Broth, Clams, Uni, Green Coconut and Golden Enoki Mushrooms – An obviously asian inspired preparation, but pairing the snapper with the noodle cake is a unique surprise. The Uni is a rich and flavorful addition to the broth, while the golden enoki mushrooms mimic the noodles in the cake, whilst providing their unique flavor to round out the dish.
