Big Fish Restaurant: Menu & Drinks

At the heart of Big Fish Restaurant's allure is a seasonal menu that artfully marries innovation with tradition, a culinary treat that beckons food enthusiasts far and wide. 

Diners praise the kitchen's mastery in elevating simple ingredients into delectable delights. A prime example is the award-winning appetizer, Ginger Glazed Shrimp Skewers. The shrimp is grilled to perfection with a mouth-watering glaze, garnished, and served with cucumber salad. 

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," where the fish is sauteed, topped with scallions and ginger, and served with 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 onion sauteed in a Thai-seasoned broth with steamed jasmine rice.

Be sure to peruse the sushi menu curated by Chef Mimi Yi for fresh, delicious fare that is hailed as the best in the region. 

The libations at Big Fish Restaurant are no less spectacular, with specialty drinks designed to 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, crowned with a garnish of fresh mint.

Whiskey enthusiasts will savor the Alabama Smash, a concoction of aged bourbon, local honey, and fresh citrus that harmonizes rich flavors with a touch of Southern charm.

The Shores Lemonade is handcrafted with freshly squeezed lemons and a hint of lavender for a non-alcoholic treat. The Tropical Fruit Punch, a vibrant mélange of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit juices, is a delightful taste of the tropics.

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