The purpose of this lunch trip (yesterday) was really to pick up some bundt cakes for a friend’s birthday but we figured that we might as well try smth different to eat in the vicinity. So, we decided to go to Fish City Grill.
As soon as we entered we were warmly greeted by the staff; the atmosphere and the cleanliness of this location looked promising and the aromas from the kitchen were welcoming. As soon as we sat down though we noticed that one of the sets of silverware for our party was wrapped in a dirty napkin. Still, we gave the benefit of the doubt to the staff that it could have been an accident. Easy to happen with paper napkins…I was personally still excited to try what was touted in the menu to be “the best fish tacos in town”
The food arrived pretty soon and it looked delicious (see the pictures of what our party ordered: shrimp tacos, Mahi Mahi and fish tacos). However, my fish tacos could barely be called tacos. They were tasty but I would call them more fish wraps. There was too much tortilla wrapped around breaded fish and other ingredients for me to justify it being called fish taco. The fish was the main protagonist of the dish but it was as if the director knew that it did not have star quality.
Bottom Line: If you would like to have a tasty generous serving of fish wraps for under $15 (including drink and tip) definitely get this dish. If you want to try the best fish tacos in town, keep on looking

PS What about the cake place you’d ask? All I can say is that a lot of my family members for the Holidays will be getting cakes from this place. Delicious!

The standard has been set. You sound like a professional food critic. Good luck Steve.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the bundt cake was absolutely fabulous. We tried a few but the pecan praline was my favorite so far.
