Sanibel Fish House Provides New Venue and Menu for Hungry Visitors

As our guests know, Sanibel Island, for its size has an amazing variety of places to dine. While the closest thing to fast food we have is the Dairy Queen, (with great burgers by the way); we have so many choices on Island from pizzerias to fine dining.


Yet, we are always happy to find a newbie to the Island, and want to spread the word and the joy around on our discoveries.


The Sanibel Fish House on Periwinkle is the newest of the various Fish House options in SW Florida. There is also a Fish House in Bonita Beach and one in Fort Myers Beach. The menus are essentially the same, and those who have grown accustomed to finding a nice variety of options will not be disappointed in the Sanibel eatery.


With a bright, fresh decor, one is off to a good beginning.


But starters are not just visual, they are edible as well.


Take the blackened tuna bites for example. They will certainly put a zing in your mouth and in your meal, but if that sounds like a little too much pepper for you, then you might want to try the crab and shrimp dip. Minced crab meat and shrimp mixed into a bread crumb and Parmesan dip serviced with Tortilla Chips makes their Blue Crab & Shrimp Dip outstanding!


And their entrees are just as mouth watering. The Sea food pasta, is worth the trip. Shrimp and scallops served over fettuccine alfredo! All their specialties (unless otherwise noted) come with your choice of two sides:
•Parsley Potatoes
•Steamed Veggies
•French Fries
•Hush Puppies
•Coleslaw


And one of the things that most appeals to us is this is not just an eat out option for those staying at a vacation rental property, it is an eat "your own" catch for everyone on Island. If you are just off a charter boat and looking for a place to cook up your catch, do what the local charter captains do -- bring a fresh catch and the Fish House chef will prepare it for you!


Still hungry? Looking for a sweet treat to complete your night? The Key Lime Pie. Should do it for you! Every restaurant in Florida has bragging rights to serving the best Key Lime Pie, but we like to do comparisons. This home made Key Lime Pie is definitely among the freshest and most original we have ever tried.


It's always difficult to choose just where to eat on Sanibel, and while we play no favorites, The Fish House is special and well worth a try!
