Felix's Fish Camp Restaurant

Felix's Fish Camp sits on Battleship Parkway in Spanish Fort, Alabama, at 1530 Battleship Pkwy, right on Mobile Bay. The restaurant has been feeding the eastern shore of the bay for about a quarter of a century and describes itself as a place for fresh Gulf seafood, USDA-certified steak and views across the water. Locals sometimes call this part of the coast "LA," for Lower Alabama.

Start with the soups

The kitchen cooks classic Mobile recipes alongside a few newer ones, and soup is the best way into the menu. Gumbo, crab soup and turtle soup all appear, and the crab soup, closer to a bisque, is probably the dish Felix's is best known for. The One-One-One lets you try a demi-cup of each of gumbo, crab soup and turtle soup, which suits a table that cannot decide.

Seafood, steak and cocktails

The rest of the menu spans appetizers, salads, entrées and desserts, with Gulf fish and shellfish on one side and USDA-certified steaks on the other. A full cocktail list is available too. Diners on OpenTable typically put the cost at about $31 to $50 per person.

The setting

The restaurant has a rustic fish-camp feel in keeping with its name, and the Mobile Bay views are part of the draw.
