W hen you walk through the doors of Something Fishy in
Apopka , FL expect to be impressed . The setting is a relaxed beach theme , inspired by the laid back atmosphere of the Hamptons . Owners Terrence and Patrice Phillips along with their 3 children run the restaurant which serves fresh seafood in a casual , fun and friendly atmosphere .
Something Fishy offers fresh cuts of Ahi Tuna , Red Snapper , Shrimp , Salmon , and their famous Crab Cakes . The fish of the day changes weekly and you can have it prepared your way , grilled , fried or blackened . Make sure you try the fried fish sandwich , its lightly breaded and fried fresh not frozen ! Something Fishy has become one of those spots I will patronize again and again .

These offered the perfect amount of meat coupled with just enough seasoning to make them absolutely delicious . They are large too ! Each would be enough to make a complete meal .
We moved on to the hearty “ Fishy Bowl ” which come with your choice of jasmine rice , salad or pasta . We tried some of each . The bowls were filled to the brim with hot , made to order seafood . The pasta was al dente ( cooked to perfection ) while each bite of the salad was fresh from the garden crisp and the jasmine rice is seasoned with fresh cilantro .
We leaned toward the fried end of the menu by ordering the Clams & Boom Boom Shrimp . The shrimp was served with a spicy ( mayo based ) sauce which can be served on the side allowing each patron to determine their own personal level of heat . We added seasoned steak fries that were lightly
