What would you eat when faced with this menu?

Lizrobin3108

We are celebrating a birthday tonight by going to Catfish Palour. I can't find any nutritional information online except for hushpuppies and sauces. Ugh

I was thinking a caesar salad without the dressing and salmon.
Here's the link to what I'm up agaist.

I'd have the grilled salmon...or if I was in the mood blackened.

Grilled salmon or tilapia look good. And a salad would work. I usually get the dressing on the side - I can't eat dry salad (that's just me!) Enjoy!!

JLG1986

If they steam their rice, grilled or blackened fish over rice with coleslaw would probably be pretty good on cals. See if they'll do a side salad or veg instead of the hush puppies (those things are practically drugs in my book...one is never enough lol)

I would just swap the salmon for shrimp (personal preference)~ but it all sounds delicous!

I'd get that lemon pepper salmon. I would love to eat at this place.

SezxyStef

shrimp...1 calorie per gram and protein is great too.

ElizabethKalmbach

I'd get the grilled chicken breast dinner and not eat the parts I don't want. I'd likely eat the rice, beans and slaw and skip the hush puppies. How many calories do you have for dinner? (I usually have between 900-1200 calories, because I do small lunches.)

Maybe a few sides instead of a main? (One side you really want, and one or two with calories in mind.)

Shrimp is fairly low cal.

Or get whatever you want and ask to get half packed up for later. (If what you order will survive to & in the fridge overnight! The waitress/waiter can usually ask in the kitchen if you're not sure.)

And of course you can always just eat what you want and enjoy yourself. It's one dinner. (But I don't know, if you've been doing that a lot lately, or don't even like the menu much, might not be worth it.)

Your idea of salad sounds good too, just to be clear Lots of protein and flavor in salmon. I'm just salad-averse and I'm constantly trying to get the healthiest thing on the menu that isn't a salad.

Catfish caesar salad (minus the croutons)

Yumm! Me too. I'd add some fried okra because I LOVE it.

jemhh

I'd probably go with tilapia or salmon or mahi mahi. Do you get all of those sides or do you pick 1 or two? If you have to pick, I would pick coleslaw and the beans. Not sure if I'd like the beans but I would want to try them.

navyrigger46

Blackened Mahi Mahi, Ceasar salad, and a piece of that blackberry cobbler.

Ceasar Salad dressing (creamy kind) is very high in calories.

Emilia777

That looks SO tasty. I’d have any kind of grilled fish, keep one side I like most (probably the beans cause yum), and swap the other sides for veggies. No reason why you can’t enjoy yourself

BoxerBrawler

I would order 6 blackened shrimp. I would ask to substitute the rice, beans and hush puppies for extra side veggies. I would probably eat the coleslaw (I love that stuff), and I might get a cup of gumbo. A little bad with the good LOL.

But yes... shrimp all the way!

nyponbell

This confuses me! I'm not from the US and I guess I'm just not in the right frame of mind to look at menus written differently to what I'm used to. That said, I like your idea. I would probably get side-orders only; gumbo (soup-like is good!) and veggies. They also hade a Caesar salad and catfish as a side. I'm not sure how common it is to just order sides to eat along with the other people's mains, but I do it all the time if I don't like the mains (but I'm a vegetarian and quite picky so that might have more to do with it).

Good luck!

BoxerBrawler

I would also skip the salad and just get extra side veggies.

Bellodesiderare

I'd get the spicy grilled salmon or mahi mahi. I'd 86 the rice, hushpuppies, slaw, beans, and tarter sauce, then I'd add a side Caesar salad & side veggies.

slucki01

You have lots of good options. Any of the fish grilled or grilled chicken would be great and you can probably get them to sub some healthier sides, like a salad. Caesar salad with some grilled chicken would be great -- ask for the dressing on the side and be judicious about how much you use.

LOL.

Please don't stone me for saying this - I absolutely love catfish and all of the fixin's, so I would probably get a blackened catfish dinner and ask for a to-go box right away... I like to order what I really want to eat but split it in half and save the rest for another tasty meal. I'm all about eating whatever I want, but in moderation.

mamamiau

I'd get the caesar salad with catfish unless it's fried. It's a catfish place, so their specialty, right? BUT dressing on the side and nix the croutons. Have a side of veggies if steamed and not covered in butter or cheese sauce.

Actually, this is a great idea that I see on here all the time .

Unfortunately for me, I love fried fish. But since it would be my birthday, I would probably be ok with that . I love hush puppies and cobbler, too.

OP, I just hope you choose something you enjoy!

First instinct was grilled chicken until I saw the Jumbo Shrimp....shrimp please and a side of fried okra I'm not a huge fan of fish. I was hoping that this was somewhat close to me but Texas is a pretty good drive from Western NC.

deamacgray

I noticed that the top of the menu it says it's the "Carry-Out" Menu and so I checked and there's a larger menu to choose from, the "Dine-In" Menu:

http://catfishparlour.com/georgetown---menu.html

This should make your choice a little easier to make

mamamiau

Oh, yeah! On the Dine-in Menu there's a grilled catfish dinner choice that looks great. I'd go with one fillet (or order 2 and take the other one home, as suggested ^.

I have about 900-1000 calories left for today. And I have reserve/pocket calories.
I just went straight to panic mode because I couldn't find any nutritional info. I am a bit addicted to MFP. I am going to take my mental chill pill and enjoy that food.
Its not like I'm going to spend the rest of my life not eating at crazy southern resturants.
Plus if you know anything about southern food.... its cooked with butter, slathered with butter and served with butter. Lol

Thank you all for your quick answers and support. You guys gave me some great ideas.

AnnaMaus

Love this. I'd get the vegetable of the day or a side salad, hush puppies or fried okra, and a Bloody Mary.
