Good oysters, good company, and a local favorite. 🦪
With Fish City Grill recently featured in *D Magazine*, we're shining the spotlight on our very own Mystic Mermaid oysters.
Developed exclusively with Cape Cod Oyster Company and grown off the coast of Massachusetts, they're something special we're proud to bring to your table.🌊

There are five love languages. We added gumbo. ❤️
Especially when it's made from scratch, loaded with shrimp, andouille sausage, and rich Cajun flavor.
And because every good love story deserves a supporting character, we're giving our gumbo a drinking buddy. 🍺

There's a whole lot of love in a good bowl of gumbo.
Ours is made from scratch, loaded with shrimp, andouille sausage, and the kind of rich Cajun flavor that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
We thought our gumbo could use a drinking buddy. 🍺
So this National Gumbo Day, we're pairing it with a cold draft b**r for a pretty good Monday deal.

Serafin’s Hand-Rolled Fish Tacos - the Fish City Grill original, hand-rolled and grilled.
Honey-Chipotle Shrimp Tacos - sweet heat, shrimp, avocado & plenty of flavor.
And from the October Chalkboard: Seared Tuna Tacos with avocado smash, avocado ranch & charred pico.

Fresh fish doesn’t just show up at our back door.
It gets here through relationships with trusted seafood partners, fishermen and fishing communities who help us know where our seafood is coming from and get great fish into our kitchens.
That’s where our story starts.
For October, our kitchen is turning it into Seared Tuna Tacos, Shrimp & Scallop Piccata Pasta and Blackened Barramundi with Blue Cheese Butter.
Three completely different dishes, all beginning the same way: with seafood we’re proud to serve.
They’re on the chalkboard all October!

🦪 Meet the Mystic Mermaid. She’s kind of a big deal around here.
Raised in the waters of Nantucket Sound off Cape Cod, our proprietary Mystic Mermaid oysters have a bold brine up front with a sweet finish. And you’ll only find them here.
Fresh-shucked, distinctive, and very much worth getting to know. 🧜♀️
Come taste what makes a Mystic Mermaid special.
