WHY FISH ? ? ? (July 2006)
Why is it Fish City Grill and not Steak City Grill? Or Taco City Grill? Why, because fish and seafood is one of my
passions. There is something fascinating, even romantic, about seafood and the people who often risk their lives to
bring it to us. Many of us have read the book, or seen the movie “The Perfect Storm”. Discovery channel’s “World’s
Deadliest Catch”, about the Alaskan crab fishermen, was also seen by millions. The lure of the sea and the hopes of
a great catch have spoken to people for centuries and, speaking for myself and all of us at Fish City Grill and Half
Shells, we salute those who have answered that call.
Growing up in the Texas panhandle, surrounded by farms and ranchlands, fresh seafood was not an option. Our annual
family vacation to the Gulf Coast was always a great experience. The week was spent hanging out with aunts and uncles,
cousins, and friends from my parent’s childhood. Every day there was a discussion about where to go out to eat that
evening for the best seafood. Eating fresh seafood at one of the local seafood joints was always a celebration of
food, fun and family. And, for a kid from the panhandle, it was almost exotic and mysterious.
Those experiences began a lifelong love affair with seafood, and with the whole experience of what it takes to find it,
catch it, prepare it and to share it with friends. And, being equally passionate about the restaurant business, opening
a seafood joint with my wife seemed to be the perfect match. Although I believe that the farmers and ranchers of America
are the salt of the earth, it’s the men and women who make their living on the open waters that really excites me about
the seafood that we serve at all of our restaurants.
We hope to see you soon,
-- Bill Bayne
