Food Critics: Fabulous Fish

We're up to the gills in grouper, trout, and tuna on this week's Central Standard Friday.

Join us as we welcome in the Food Critics, to find out where the best fish dishes in the city reside.  Charles Ferruzza of The Pitch and Fat City Blog, Emily Farris of Feed Me KC, Gloria Gale of 435 South Magazine, and Mary Bloch of Around the Block cast their nets into deeper waters.

As always, we want to hear from you.  Email or call 816-235-2888 during the show with your favorite pescatarian fare.
