Jim's rule for a great fish sandwich: you should still be able to taste the fish.

His go-tos are panko-crusted Cod or Haddock, a soft white roll from a great local bakery, a base of crisp lettuce for crunch, and a tangy dill pickle mayo that lets the fish stay the star.

What's your must-have topping on a fish sandwich? Let's compare notes. 🥪

Buttery, sweet Crab meat, a touch of spice, and a golden crust - our Crab Cakes are the kind of thing you buy "just for tonight" and end up going back for again next week. Serve them up for dinner, or sneak one as a snack; we won't tell.

Dinner, or straight-from-the-fridge snack - what's the real use case here? Be honest. 😄

What's a bit of a sleeper hit at Pelican? If you take a look at our Google Reviews, it's our Red Thai Shrimp Curry. Tender Shrimp in a rich Thai coconut curry sauce, with Shiitake Mushrooms, Bok Choy, Eggplant, and Cherry Tomatoes. Served on Coconut Rice with Cucumber Relish, Fresh Cilantro, and Toasted Peanuts.

It's worth every bite. 🍤🌿

The secret to a perfectly seared piece of Fish? Pat it completely dry before it hits the pan. 🐟

Wet fish steams. Dry fish sears. Get your pan properly hot, add your oil, and lay the Fish skin-side down. Press it gently for the first few seconds to keep the skin flat. Then don't touch it again until it releases on its own.

It sounds simple because it is. The trick is just patience.
