OMG! Idk what took me so long to try this place! The flavors, sandwich options, and fried potatoes will bring me back. Love the BO business. I love that they care about their food. They serve quality fish. FRESH fish! Wild-caught so the fish options may vary but, that's a good thing. My kid had the Mahi-Mahi fish burger. She loved it! A thick filling piece of fish fried to perfection (they also offer a light pan search option) in avocado oil. I had the blue catfish cheese steak sandwich and it did not disappoint. The mambo sauce, an option for ur fried potatoes and burger is some of the best mambo sauce I've had in a while. Will be back!!
Excellent fried catfish, very fresh, and a gluten free coating bonus! (You'd never know it was gluten free). Perfectly crispy outside, tender inside, super tasty (I ate a piece before I remembered to take a picture). I opted for the house made tartar sauce. Corn pudding was VERY rich - I could not finish it all. Collards were well seasoned, but if you like heat, you may want to add hot sauce. I ordered ahead online and was ready exactly when it said it would be, and the coating stayed crispy even in the takeout box. This is a great Friday fish option for Lent!
Stopped by today while dropping my daughter back off to college and this place did not disappoint. I wanted some seafood and googled places near me. Fish scale popped up and the menu looked plentiful. We ate indoors and the atmosphere was relaxing and the food was amazing. We got 2 crab sandwich’s and mahi mahi sandwiches with fries. It definitely was made with love. Juicy, real lump crab, meal was fresh and hot. And the customer service was stellar. I definitely will come back once in town.
The food here just makes you feel good about being in DC as it is everything that DC is about - down to the succulent fried fish and mambo sauce. While the food is executed perfectly no matter whether you go with the sandwiches, mains+sides, fried fish plates, or cheese steak, you’ll be enjoying it with a excellent service in a laid back open kitchen atmosphere. Oh, did I mention that the crab cake sandwich here is one of the best I’ve had in any restaurant in DC? Because it truly is. FishScale is a true testament to eating good and feeling good about what you eat. Hit it up today.
We came from out of town, about 10-15 mins before closing and the staff was still so warm and welcoming. 10/10 for customer service. The food came out so good and fresh! I got the crab sandwich with aioli and it was great. The fries and mumbo sauce was great tooo. Delish food
