Out of the Blue Crabs & Seafood Hosts Fish Fridays, St. Paddy's Day

Out of the Blue Crabs & Seafood in Gainesville, Virginia is always in the mood to celebrate. This month it’s St. Patrick’s Day and Fish Fridays!

FISH FRIDAYS

Fish Fridays began Friday, Feb. 28 and will continue until April 3. With a variety of fish and seafood selections, it is a day to look forward to. “Come enjoy our fresh seafood,” said owner Ryan Pell.

Pell said they are also premiering a Fish Friday “Fresh Catch”- grilled Trout with Chipotle butter sauce ‘there’s a little kick to it,” she said, or piccata sauce.

Other delicious seafood items include salmon, shrimp, stuffed flounder, whole fish and scallops, plus dollar oysters and ½ off peel-and-eat shrimp.

FIRST RESPONDERS’ FRIDAY

Every Friday is First Responder Friday. That means 20% off food (not drinks) for EMTs, firefighters and police officers.

PATRICK’S DAY WEEK

Count yourself lucky! You can celebrate St. Paddy’s Day all week long from at Out of the Blue from Friday, March 13 through Tuesday, March 17 from 11 a.m. to closing. Pell knows that people sometimes have a difficult time celebrating on the day, so she tried to make holidays last longer at her OOTB.
