Every now and then I stumble upon a special and unique place to eat and Fish On Fire is my most recent discovery. It's unusual to say the least. It's located on the edge of the MCO property and is a dive bar with a very good kitchen attached. I had dinner here last week before catching an evening flight home. Yelp location is accurate and using some kind of navigation to get here is a good idea because Fish on Fire doesn't even have a sign out front.When you arrive it's in a stand alone building with its own parking lot, The building has covered outdoor seating along with an interior that includes a combination full bar and dining room that also has a small band stage. You see, this country casual dive bar has live music most nights.I ordered the mahi mahi (blackened) upon the recommendation of the waitress for $22. For my two chosen sides I went with red potatoes and cheese grits. I also added a cup of their homemade chicken and rice soup for another $4.The soup came out quickly and was exactly as advertised as it did taste homemade and was delicious. The entree arrived shortly later with a nice sized filet of blackened mahi mahi that was tasty. It was accompanied by boiled red potatoes (very good) with a cup of melted butter for the fish and potatoes. The grits were in a separate bowl with grated cheese on top and yummy! Everything on my plate was an easy 4 score. Plus this bar/restaurant has a lot of character and ambience (4) too.If you are arriving or leaving from MCO do yourself a favor. Come by here for a meal/drink. You'll be glad you did!

We went on a Friday night so it was pretty busy. The staff was very nice and helpful. The live music was nice but if you want to chat with a friend, I recommend sitting outside. The musician, Jeff Howell; was great. FoF features some good local acts. No cover. We ordered hush puppies as a starter and I had a combination shrimp dinner. It was ok, my sides were a little too salty. But otherwise ok. My friend had the shrimp and grits and she said it was a little bland. The surrounding area felt a little sketchy, but I can't say that I felt unsafe.

Pros: Great foodCons: RacismMy group of friends (4 white one black) sat at a table together. We got a couple looks from some customers but I didn't think anything of it. 15 minutes later, a group of ~4 black people come to sit down at the table next to us and they're told that it's $20/person/seat. They come ask my black friend if he had to pay cover, and seemed pretty annoyed when he explained we did not. Some time after that, a white couple came and took the seats and they weren't charged cover either.The seafood was amazing though, like some of the best fresh caught fish and shrimp I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. (I recommend to get the mahi mahi blackened.) And their key lime pie was superb. Also our waitress was very nice. I don't think she was involved in the whole thing with the other group.So I'm not really sure how to feel about this place because the food was great, but on principle I can't give it 5 stars. -2 for racism, the lighter your skin the better the service.

super food and the review about racism is crap. Black wait staff and they don't hate white people either. Not fancy and good bar, easy to find

The grill is next door to our hotel so we picked it. There were lots of other customers when we arrived. It seems popular. They had live music. We opted to sit outside. The waitress was friendly. She seemed to want to make our experience a good one. She checked on us several times. She was apologetic about the order error. The food was ok. We started with the Parmesan stuffed shrimp. The shrimp was medium sized. I had the small burger. I asked for no bun and medium rare. It came with the bun and was well done. It tasted good. The fries were good. The coleslaw was soggy and flavorless. My dining companion had the mahi mahi fried tacos with rice and beans. The rice and beans had little flavor. The tacos had lots of cheese and the salsa was spicy. They were tasty.

This place came highly recommended for the fish dip. I wasn't expecting it to be 5 stars as I read the reviews before going.If you're into fish salad aka dip this may be the place to get the best but it was more like fish moouse than dip.Fish tacos wasn't bad but also wasn't great.l

If you're in the mood for seafood, then this hole in the wall location near the MCO airport may just do the trick. It doesn't have "camp" in the name, so it's not the best (I have a theory that any fish camp is some good food), but the food was good and the staff is friendly!They have some pretty good catfish which I got in basket form. It was done right with the right breading and size so you weren't eating too much catfish without breading. The waitress did recommend trying the catfish filet and I may do that sometime.Shrimp tacos are my favorite type of tacos and their version were nothing special. I'd stick to something else as they just had normal taco ingredients instead of the usual slaw topping which makes a Shrimp Taco sing. The men's room has an odd little alcove with 2 urinals that may make it a little cozy for the guy in the far urinal to get out without getting a little too close to the 1st urinal guy. If it's someone who drops their pants to their ankles to urinate, then the risk is up to you!It wasn't overly busy on a Saturday around noon so if you're looking to avoid a potential big crowd or loud bands, that may be the time to try. It looks like they have a house drum set, so I'd imagine there's music on various days.

Very chill restaurant. You seat yourself upon arrival. They have a live band play music most evenings and they have a trivia night on Tuesdays. You can also play trivia through your phone that's connected to their TV while you wait for your food which I thought was fun!The food tastes average. Nothing really special. My favorite dish was the onion strings. Hush puppies were good too but the entrees could've used more flavor. Our server, Kat, could've been more attentive. She was never around when we needed her. They also forgot to bring out my side of hush puppies with my tacos. By the time they arrived at the table, I was already done with my meal. Makes me think the order was never put in correctly to the system. This was not a special experience and it did not leave us wanting more. I don't see us returning anytime soon, if at all.
