Guide Review - Fat Fish Blue
You just can’t help but have a good time at Fat Fish Blue. Not only is the food surprisingly good, there’s Blues live music and a kind of kinetic energy and excitement, that’s contagious. The food is spicy Louisiana cuisine. Appetizers include red beans and rice, muffaletta bites (bite-size pieces of that yummy New Orleans meat, cheese, and olive sandwich), and buffalo bites, pieces of shelled crawfish covered in cornmeal and lightly fried. Of course, there’s a tasty jambalaya and gumbo, too. Entrée highlights include Pecan-crusted Chicken with a Jack Daniels, a spicy yet subtle Etoufee, and grilled New Orleans shrimp.The music is lively and first class, featuring a wide range of entertainers. Fat Fish Blue serves a full selection of wines, beer, and bar drinks. They also feature a full menu of specialty martinis. Fat Fish Blue is a great place for an affordable, yet fun meal and they serve well into the evening, which makes it an ideal place for after a concert, sporting event, or the theater. Sunday brunch is accompanied by Mimosas, Bloody Marys, or frozen fruit martini as well as live Blues music. Brunch entrees include French toast made with brie and bourbon, crayfish quiche, and Champagne omelets. Expectedly, Fat Fish Blue hosts one of the best Mardi Gras parties in Cleveland.
