Sitting here at the McGuinness Branch Office getting a little work done at lunch… walking down here from the parking garage, I passed the Flying Fish and noticed a sign saying “OPEN WED.” painted in the window. Today is Tue., so I guess that means they open tomorrow. They look like they’re hurrying to have it ready.
The Flying Fish is on Second, just north of Gayoso, in what used to be a wholesale clothing store. It will serve catfish, shellfish and other seafood. It’s owned by the same group that owns the Flying Saucer down the street.
Here’s a link to a Center City Commission article about the Flying Fish. Says they’ll be the official Billy Bass Adoption Center for Downtown. You remember Billy, the singing mounting fish they sell at Walgreens around Christmas.
