as a mission to check out charleston's nightlife we ventured into the city on friday evening for dinner at fish, a french asian fusion joint on king street. for a first course we had dim sum consisting of a shrimp roll, spring roll, a duck confit bun and a puff make from frog's legs, as well we the escargot. the dim sum was not mindblowing, except for the duck bun which was stellar. the escargot was absurdly good, served in a crock with thick cut bacon, peas and boursin cheese, only complaint it did not come with any bread to enjoy every drop of the rich goodness, we had to ask for bread. for our main course i had the local bass poached with a pomegranate beurre blanc sauce, wok vegi's and this red drum fried cake, kristen had the bouillabaisse. my bass was masterfully prepared and paired well with it's sauce, the fish cake was like a golden fried velvet twinky(without the creme filling of course.) kristen's bouillabaisse was presented well, kristen's only complaint it did not sport a traditional clear broth. jason our server was attentive and informative. only issue was during coffee a busperson ran over and jammed a two top at the end of our table, giving us the impression we were being rushed for a large party. i was not happy and almost kicked the table over to get out. even the restaurant manager was pleasant and eventually after comping some desert wine had the table removed. all in all, a wonderful meal.
fish had live music in the way of a dj that evening: good tunes, but mister dj couldn't beat match his way out of a wet paper bag.
