The search for good fried fish seems an eternal one among Review-Journal readers. And so when a reader exulted over the fried fish at Shucks Tavern, I decided it was time for a visit.
There’s plenty of bad barbecue out there, although I wouldn’t say any particular region is to blame. And I also wouldn’t say you’re likely to find any of it at Tucky’s.
Taste of the Town correspondents say they’re willing to drive to find the best fried fish in the valley.
Janet Schell wrote recently in search of instant coffee “that tastes like coffee,” adding that it “seems I’ve tried them all, and some don’t even smell like coffee when opened.” And in their customary style, readers came to the rescue.
It’s got beer, music, beer, warm daytime sunshine, beer, soft night-time breezes, beer, beach umbrellas and more beer. The only element of Spring Break missing from the new Beer Park at Paris Las Vegas is the beach.

I remember, not too many years ago, when the concept of seafood in the desert was a punch line complete with rim shot.
Supermarkets may sometimes stock an item in a location that isn’t real logical to you and me.
We knew we were in trouble when our server at F. Pigalle said the red wine was burgundy — which, we felt sure, wasn’t Burgundy, mainly because it’s all-you-can-drink, included with dinner, and therefore probably arrives in tanker trucks.
