❤️ Best $15ish meal(s): Whole wings and fry combo

Why go?

A yellow graphic with a faint city map background reads: “$15ish Meal Map. Explore the map,” with a right-pointing arrow.

Hook Fish & Chicken has multiple franchise locations across the city, but each of them are known for the Hooks signature white seasoning sprinkled across their fried offerings. The seasoning is so popular they offer to sell it separately. The menu features basic chicken wing combos as well as fried fish and shrimp. The Mount Oliver location surprised me with fried oysters, crab cakes, scallops and catfish nugget dinners, which aren’t found at every Hooks.

What to order 

The whole wing and fries dinners that come with bread and coleslaw start at 3 wings for as low as $6.99. Six-wing combos put you right at $14.99 and is plenty for one or two people to share.
