Best of 225 awards weekly pick: Best Place for Seafood

In that category, Mike Anderson is the king, and the former Tiger football star’s restaurant is the castle that continues to pack loyal fans year after year. They say Anderson is meticulous about the details. Our readers couldn’t agree more. Everything that swims or floats is fried to perfection and served with plenty of lemon wedges. If you were a fish, it’s how you’d wanna go out, too.1031 West Lee Dr., mikeandersonsbr.com. Find more great dining and entertainment ideas and other Best of 225 award winners here. (File photo)
