Recently, I had an opportunity to check out Apopka’s adored, family-friendly, seafood restaurant called “Something Fishy”.
Something Fishy has been in the Apopka area for over two years now, but I don’t get over to that side of town very often, so they were not on my radar, but that may change.
We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere here, but the most important thing of this “mom & pop restaurant is just that… It’s about as mom and pop as you can get with a great family running the business and cooking the food, after one visit, you'll feel like family.
Chef and Owner Terence Phillips and his wife of 24 years Patrice Phillips hold down the fort at Something Fishy. Terence fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening Something Fishy, which is as he says “A reflection of the Phillips family gatherings and celebrations”
The 1500 square foot restaurant is a fast-casual concept where you order your food, take a seat, and it is brought out to you, or you can order your food to go as well. Inside there are tables and chairs with influences of South Hampton, Long Island for the decor. It’s not a huge space, but it works for them for right now. On Saturdays, seating may be limited, as lines can be going out the door, so it’s first come first serve here.
Something Fishy specializes in seafood that’s grilled, pan-seared or fried, served in a variety of selections from delicious fish tacos to crab cakes. The evolving menu, crafted by Chef Terence features starters, salads, build your own fishy bowls and classic seafood entrees with a fusion of new age, fresh flavors and innovation served straight from “Chef T’s” kitchen.
We started our evening off with a selection of fried deliciousness that featured a sampling of fried cauliflower, calamari rings and tentacles and sweet corn hushpuppies. The fried cauliflower is a newer addition to the menu.

In addition to introducing “Something Sweet”, Something Fishy is also implementing more catering and business lunches To Go programs.
“We could not be more excited to celebrate the second year of Something Fishy,” says Terence and Patrice Phillips. We are beyond grateful for the love, encouragement and support from family and friends and the community who have embraced us in our first year, and we look forward to welcoming even more Central Florida fish lovers into the Something Fishy family this year and for many more years to come.”
