When a mid-week seafood craving hits, Colleen and I drop in at Fairhope’s Kingfisher Seafood Restaurant for dinner.

Thomas Genin has two heart-felt words to say to eastern shore residents: “Thank you.” He’ll admit that some of the toughest days running The Blind Tiger on Fairhope’s pier are when drivers bringing food or beer skip the delivery because they can’t get access to the restaurant (delivery drivers, Genin explains, won’t wait, not even…
