Big Fish, a new fast-casual seafood spot with Southern flair, has opened at miXt in Hyattsville. Located at 3809 Rhode Island Ave, this eatery offers mouthwatering seafood sandwiches. You can choose from a blackened grouper burger, a modern po’ boy, a Nashville-style fried catfish sandwich, or a crab cake sandwich.
The menu doesn’t stop at sandwiches. It also features salads, rice bowls, and fried fish, with sides like thick-cut fries, hush puppies, and Cajun coleslaw. Owner Val Charles took inspiration from David Lynch’s book, “Catching the Big Fish,” where the director talks about going deeper to find creativity. “I want to elevate the seafood experience for my customers while keeping it fun,” Charles says.
Big Fish joins other popular vendors at the food hall, including The Burger Shop and La Michoacana Mexican food. This blend of options makes miXt a go-to place for food lovers in the area. An exciting trend in the fast-casual industry is focusing on quality ingredients and unique flavors. According to a recent report by IBISWorld, the fast-casual market is expected to grow due to rising demand for healthier and customizable meals.
As part of this growing scene, Big Fish not only offers great food but also a refreshing experience at a time when people are looking for more than just a meal. In a world where a quick bite often lacks character, Big Fish aims to provide something special.
Considering the rise in health consciousness and sustainability, it’s worth noting that seafood is becoming a preferred choice for many diners. With American seafood consumption increasing overall, eateries like Big Fish are contributing to the trend by providing quality meals that cater to various tastes while promoting healthier eating.
So, if you’re exploring the Route 1 corridor, take a moment to dive into Big Fish and enjoy a plate full of flavor and fun.
