    The shrimp & grits always hit for me but yes not traditional. The cornbread tastes like a thick piece of cake 🔥. There are 2 locations and the other one is in Richmond. Darius please try Milk & Honey in Camp Springs, MD before you go, they have some gooooood grits and a menu I think you’d appreciate. It’s loud in there though so maybe dine outside.

    There’s a Croaker’s Spot in Southside Richmond VA on Hull Street. This location used to be in the downtown area Historic Jackson Ward. Everything is delicious. I usually eat the cornbread as dessert. Fishboats are awesome.
    Croaker’s used to do the fish boat with lake trout fried hard. Most people like green peppers onions etc on their fish.

    I live 3 minutes from where he is sitting. I have eaten at Croaker's Spot many times. One reason it is so popular is that it is a successful black owned establishment. Something that is not as common in the area. The other reason is that people like the sides, and everything is house made. The potatoes are fried that's why they aren't "creamy". I personally am not a fan of garlic in potatoes. I'd rather have a side of the cabbage. Everyone loves the sweet cornbread that is as large as a baby's head. You can get the onions and peppers on the side, which is what I do. I think the fish is pretty good. the breading is pretty well seasoned and crunchy. You do have to look out for bones. Overall it's good. Since they moved into the old farmer's market building it's a lot easier to seat large parties. They had a policy back in the old building of not seating anyone until most of the party had arrived. That wasn't good for the old folks in the party that didn't like to stand around waiting to be seated when you had a reservation. It's not my favorite place to eat fish but I don't turn down luncheons or invitations to go there.
