Updated: Feb 1, 2023

I worked at a Fish Fry spot pretty much every Friday for a good 4 years of my life. We always got fish leftovers and I never passed on it! So, because of that I've been kind of sick of fish. However, I always enjoyed their fish tacos on the rare occasion that was the special. So, I decided to give it a try. Let's just say Tyler is VERY happy.
