Welcome to Our Kitchen Journal

At Beau Legs Fish & Chips, we don’t just cook food—we carry on southern culinary traditions that have been passed down for generations. Our blog is where we share the stories behind the recipes, the people behind the counter, and the flavors behind the fame.



Whether you’re a regular guest, a fan of southern cooking, or just looking to learn more about how we do things in our kitchen, this is your space to explore, learn, and connect.


Why We Started the Blog

Over the years, our customers have asked:


  • “How do you make your gumbo so rich?”
  • “What’s the story behind your remoulade?”
  • “Can I get tips for making fried catfish at home?”


This blog is our answer. It’s a space to go behind the scenes and share what we’ve learned in over a decade of cooking and serving authentic southern food in Lacey.



Here, you’ll find insights into ingredients, preparation methods, southern culinary history, and advice you can use in your own kitchen.
