Fish City Grill
348 North Nova Road
Ormond Beach, FL 32174
(386)677-8484
A Fish City Grill recently opened in Ormond Beach and I couldn't be happier. It is always nice to have another place to dine and explore. It is especially nice when you find out that you really like the new place.
I cannot take credit for finding this place as my wife happened to pass it one day as she was driving around. Thankfully, she took my father there one night and called me at home to ask if I wanted her to bring me anything. Usually my answer would have been, "No" as I am not a fan of food delivered in a styrofoam container. I find the heat of the food tends to make the food inside soggy and it just turns me off. However, if I would have declined that night, I would have missed a great meal.
I seek perfection in three things:
1. Clam Chowder

2. Philly Cheese Steaks
3. Crab Cakes
In my travels, I have found it is hard to find perfection in these items outside of Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Because I am on this crusade of sorts, I have eaten a lot of bad imitations and have been lucky in a few instances. In the case of the Fish City Grill, my challenge would be the crab cake sandwich.
The sandwich comes on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato & onion with a spicy remoulade sauce. It comes with fries, but I have also had it with red beans & rice. The crab cake is really good. It is loaded with crab and was cooked to perfection. The bun was toasted just right and the lettuce, tomato & onion were very fresh. My wife also brought me a side of hush puppies, which are made with jalapenos. You don't notice it at first and then the heat creeps up on you like a mugger in a dark alley. I started sweating and my lips were tingling. The hush puppies are great! The red beans & rice are great here as well. You should certainly try these two sides if you have the opportunity to visit. At $7.79 for the crab cake sandwich, I thought it was a great deal.
On a future visit I would like to try the Tabasco Shrimp Pasta. It is shrimp in a red chili cream sauce with Tabasco infused penne for $11.79. The menu is loaded with dishes that any seafood lover would find adequate. I also need to try their clam chowder to see how this stands up.
Fish City Grill gets three Stiffy's, but I am thinking they will jump to four or five once I check the restaurant out in person. If you find yourself in Ormond Beach, I urge you to check it out. Additionally, they do have locations around the United States, so if you are traveling Google them up before you leave and have a great meal.
Eat, drink and be merry!
