Technically, two pieces of bread and a piece of flounder make this a “sandwich.” But we defy anyone to pick it up and eat it that way. The flounder is too tender and falls apart; plus, it’s three times bigger than the bread. For us, it’s finger food … delicious finger food.

A nice combo plate of fried shrimp and deviled (Jesus) crab. Both are extremely salty and demand plenty of sweet tea or soda pop to drink on the side.

While there are no seats for dining at the Fish Net, there is a bench where you can sit and wait while your food is cooked. Here’s Jane, waiting for an order of Jesus crabs.
