Food Fun Adventure Saturday took Fat Man Reviews to The Ketch Seafood & Grill in Lexington, KY. The Ketch is a long time Lexington seafood restaurant in casual setting.

I tried a Pain Killer with Meyers Dark Rum, Malibu Coconut Run, tropical juices and topped with Old Bay seasoning. Not a bad drink but heavy on the Malibu.

We started with Hush puppies and Oysters Rockefeller. The hush puppies were a traditional corn meal and flour mixture, fried to a proper golden brown and served with honey butter. They were light and fresh. The oysters were baked well with spinach, bacon, Parmesan and Pernod. This added a slight licorice flavor to a nice dish.

I ordered the Lobster Bisque. It had great lobster flavor it was creamy with a hint of butter.

My fiancé ordered the Maryland Crab Cake with Cheese Grits and Hash brown casserole. The crab cake was fried to a golden brown and offered a lot of crab to breading in a tasty dish. The grits were light, fluffy and cheesy that made for a nice dish. The hash brown casserole had a mash potato texture but lacked seasoning and needed more cheese, while the panko topping was a bit much.

I had the Flounder Maryland stuffed with Crab Imperial covered in a Mornay Sauce, I had green beans and hash brown casserole as my sides. The fish was cooked and seasoned well, the crab stuffing was light, tasty and added a nice texture, the mornay was creamy and cheesy adding a nice touch to a fish dish. The only issue was that I could tell the fish had been frozen but was tasty nonetheless. The green beans were cooked country style with onions like the hash browns they needed salt and pepper.

For dessert, we tried the Peanut Butter Pie and Chocolate Dream Cake. The pie was served on an Oreo crust with crushed peanuts and M&Ms on top, it was rich but not overly sweet. The cake was a bit dry, the buttercream icing was dry also, but it had good flavor. The cake was topped with a chocolate sauce that was a bit overpowering to the cake.

The Ketch reminds you of a Tikki bar at your favorite beach destination on the gulf. It offers several steamer pots, fried foods and fish favorites. The Fat Man says that The Ketch is Fat Man Approved.
