Big Fish Restaurant: Menu & Drinks

Diners praise the kitchen's mastery in elevating simple ingredients into delectable delights. A prime example is the award-winning Ginger Glazed Shrimp Skewers. The chefs grill the shrimp perfectly and top it with a mouth-watering glaze. A refreshing cucumber salad balances the flavors and textures. 

For the main course, consider a hand-trimmed fresh fish like Red Snapper. The fish is sauteed, bronzed, blackened, grilled, or fried, then topped with fresh lemon-infused olive oil. Entrees include mashed potatoes and spinach, making this meal tasty, filling, and healthy.

Feeling adventurous? Try any fresh catch "Big Fish Style." The fish comes with scallions and ginger, spinach, and jasmine rice in a sherry soy broth.

If seafood doesn't interest you, try the Big Stir Fry. This hearty entree showcases Napa cabbage, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and red onions in a Thai broth. Jasmine rice rounds out this Asian dish. 

The libations at Big Fish Restaurant are no less spectacular, with specialty drinks that complement the coastal fare. The Seaside Martini is the talk of the town, blending premium vodka with the crisp, subtle sweetness of watermelon and the sharp, refreshing tang of cucumber. A garnish of mint crowns this refreshing cocktail. 

Whiskey enthusiasts will want to savor the Alabama Smash. This concoction features aged bourbon, local honey, and fresh citrus. 

The Shores Lemonade features fresh lemon juice and a hint of lavender for a non-alcoholic treat. The Tropical Fruit Punch is a vibrant mélange of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit juices. One sip will make you feel like you're vacationing on a tropical island! 

Every dish at Big Fish Restaurant is a loving tribute to Alabama's culinary tapestry, imbued with the zest of the Gulf's waters and the warmth of its people.
