The Foxy Fish

We have been eating at Foxy Fish since right after it opened this past Spring.  First of all, what a nice re-do of the interior of this old building!  As the months have passed, the management has added things on the wall to help with keeping noise levels down and add to the feel of it being a seafood restaurant.  The menu caters to seafood lovers, but there are several meals on their for those who don't like to eat anything but beef or chicken.  Prices are very reasonable.  In my opinion, the best meals on the menu are steamed shrimp, broiled crab cake, hushpuppies, cream of crab soup and the best surprise is the shrimp scampi!

Service has always been great!  Rest rooms are clean.  I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.  We have taken friends there who live in NVa and they loved the food.  Take some time to enjoy the food and the friendly servers/management.  In my opinion, if that is what a SOMD restaurant is like, I'll take it any day!

Whiting was suppose to be the "Catch of the Day" and we ordered it. I have eaten whiting for 50 years. I've never had a Whiting before that was this oily or fishy tasting. It tasted more like Blue Fish. Also had a dark streak running down it. I am not Marine biologist but neither am I naive. Would a SOMD fish place do a switcheroo?  Either another fish or old fish which is also a no-no. My taste buds says another fish. Order something you can clearly ID, like shrimp.

The place is not fancy but neat & clean inside. Our server, Jennifer, was very pleasant. Beer prices very reasonable.Two fish sandwich meal were $25 with 2 beers. You can play Keno here. The place was quiet but we ate after lunch & before dinner hours.

I won't go back even though I like supporting local businesses.

This place is typical SOMD which is both a compliment and not. Like most places down here the waitresses are friendly but have not been trained in what good service means. For example if a patron has a fork on an appetizer plate covered in used napkins don't ask him to dig it out. Take the plate away and just get a new fork. The food is also typical for the area, well fried but overbreaded, slow to the table, but fresh. Bathroom cleanliness was on the poor side. For a five pm dinner I would expect the bathroom to have been cleaned before dinner service.
