Fried snapper throats from Southerleigh
If you're going to have snapper throats on the menu, your staff has to be ready to answer some pretty silly questions. Thankfully, Southerleigh's servers are more than adept at guiding adventurous eaters through this surprisingly meaty number. Take your time and savor the richness, though don't forget to add a dab of Crystal aioli.
