Our first night in New Orleans we hit up Coop’s Place, a popular drinking hole and eatery on Decatur Street. We had the Taste Plate, which features Gumbo and Jambalaya (with sausage and rabbit), and ventured to try the special – a whole fried sheephead fish. I can’t resist ordering a whole fish when I see it on the menu – and I’m glad I did this time because it was delicious. And huge. It all washed down quite nicely with a local Abita beer.
