Hooked is focused on seafood, offering everything from fresh catches of the day to fried oysters to jambalaya. The approach is straightforward but very customized, meaning you choose what seafood you want - blackened, fried, or grilled; if you want it as a po'boy, a platter, or over a salad; and what sauces you want served with it. In addition, they have a number of sides including honey-jalapeno hushpuppies and some non-seafood menu items like chicken and vegetable entrees and a variety of salads and sides. Everything runs approximately. $8-12 and it's BYO, making it an affordable meal out.
They're currently in their soft opening phase, open from 11am-10pm every day.
