Fish and grits a winning pair for Nishie G's

George Gallis admits it wasn't his idea. But the unusual pair proved a brilliant addition to the menu at Nishie G's restaurant.

Customers love it. And now, the dish has helped Nishie G's claim a spot in Southern Living magazine's list of best breakfasts in South Carolina.

Orders for fish and grits have picked up even more, says Gallis, who opened Nishie G's seven years ago on Mount Gallant Road. Gallis added a second location in 2008 on India Hook Road.

"It kind of blows your mind," said Gallis, 38. "Who eats that in the morning?"
