Grouper & Chips has operated out of a small, unpretentious storefront in Naples' Redevelopment Area for over 21 years. Chef Francis Pischner runs the kitchen on a simple standard: fresh fish, shrimp, crab, and vegetables delivered daily, cooked from recipes he developed over 25 years.
Grouper is the centerpiece — fried or blackened for the sandwich, or sautéed with sauces for a more composed plate — alongside salmon and rotating daily specials. All frying is done in canola oil, and the menu includes low-fat and low-carb options for diners who want them.
It has stayed a family-run, hole-in-the-wall operation, the kind of place regulars return to often rather than save for a special occasion, built on consistent quality and generous portions.
