Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen & Bar (Facebook | Website) is opening in the old Ravenous Pig location (1234 North Orange Avenue, Winter Park MAP) in February. The interior will be "a contemporary version of a classic Florida fish camp." The restaurant is by PARK21 Hospitality Group, LLC (Website).
(From their Facebook page) A new concept from restaurant industry veteran Fred Thimm, Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen & Bar will be a contemporary version of a classic fish camp, serving fresh Florida seafood prepared in a southern style and served in a casual, family friendly environment.
The restaurant’s daily blackboard specials and core recipes will feature creative takes on fresh-caught fish not typically found on many inland-Florida seafood restaurant menus, including tile fish, trigger fish, sheephead, hogfish and other local species. The Reel Fish menu will also include signature classics like fried seafood platters, Shrimp & Creamy Cheese Grits, whole fried market fish, such as yellow tail snapper, and Low Country Boils featuring shrimp, bay scallops and crab legs.
Central to the restaurant will be a raw bar serving oysters on the half shell, broiled and steamed, as well as ceviche and peel & eat fresh Florida shrimp.
For the meat lover, Reel Fish’s offerings will include farm-to-table, GMA-free beef & brisket blend burgers from Creekstone Farms, as well as a rotating selection of premium beef cuts. Signature salads will include the Shrimp & Avocado Louie and a fresh tuna salad.
The bar at Reel Fish will offer “coastal cocktails”, local craft beers and a boutique list of sought after reasonably priced wines. Happy hour food and beverage specials will be available at the bar daily.
