Catching fish for a plate lunch at Arabi Food Store is a true local experience, combining the excitement of fishing with the comfort of a delicious, home-cooked meal. Early in the morning, locals head out to nearby waters, casting their lines with the hopes of reeling in fresh catch—usually speckled trout, redfish, or catfish. Once back on land, the fish are cleaned and prepped, ready to be served up at Arabi Food Store, a beloved spot known for its down-home cooking. The plate lunch, a staple in the area, comes with perfectly fried or grilled fish, seasoned just right, accompanied by sides like jambalaya, coleslaw, or hushpuppies, making for a hearty, satisfying meal that celebrates the rich Gulf Coast flavors and the hardworking community behind it.
