Sometimes the best foods are found hiding in the most obvious of places. Take Poe’s Tavern, for instance. For years, we’ve been shouting from the rooftops about how deliciously creative and delightfully tasty the burgers are at Poe’s. Because… they are. But don’t pass up the opportunity to order up a fish sandwich at this popular island restaurant found just outside of Charleston on Sullivan’s Island. Just like the burgers, the fish sandwiches are simply to die for.
First, a look at a couple of those burgers we love so much. You'll find toppings and combinations you wouldn't think of in your wildest dreams, but they'll blow your taste buds right out of the water.
But Poe's does serve other things like soups, salads, appetizers, and fish. The market fresh fish is always a sweet surrender of a surprise and, like the gourmet burgers and chicken sandwiches you'll find on the menu, the daily market fish special is a divine creation, straight from heaven.
These aren't your ordinary fish sandwiches! Take a look here at the citrus marinated Corvina topped with a spicy chipotle ranch, served on a ciabatta bun. Pair that with Poe's hand-cut fries and you have more than a meal... it's a masterpiece!
Or, on a day when Mahi is the featured Fresh Catch, you may arrive at Poe's to find the sweet and spicy honey-sriracha marinated Mahi BLT, generously topped with pineapple aioli.
Prefer a Cajun twist? Time your visit to coincide with a daily special featuring the blackened grouper sandwich! Paired with hand-cut fries, it's a dream.
The blackened flounder BLT, served with a spicy remoulade takes a time-honored comfort food (the BLT) and turns it on its end for a delicious new twist. Sure the regular menu at Poe's is filled with burgers and chicken sandwiches that'll knock your socks off, but the fish sandwich specials are a real sleeper item to seek out.
Pair your meal with local craft beer on tap, a bottle of your favorite domestic or imported beer, or a signature cocktail or glass of wine. You really can't go wrong at Poe's — and now that you know about the market fresh fish sandwiches... you can go VERY right.
Poe's Tavern on Sullivan's Island is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Learn more on the official Poe's website, and follow the Facebook page here.
