Longing for the beach but totally landlocked? The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill in Buckhead and Roswell is the next best thing to being there. Atlantans already flock to their favorite beach house after work for half-price half-shell oysters. Now, a new “bar bait” menu lands more easygoing, affordably priced eats such as hushpuppies, half ($1.95) or full basket ($2.95), served with rémoulade; sweet-n-spicy calamari with mango-sweet chili sauce ($3.95); fish bites with tartar sauce ($3.95); seared ahi tuna, served with cucumber salsa and a creamy soy ($5.95); and hummus with fresh veggies and pita chips ($3.95). Through February 29, net all of these nautical noshes Monday through Friday from 4-6:30 p.m. in Buckhead, 5-6 p.m. in Roswell.
