Big Fish Grill

About Big Fish Grill

Brothers Norman and Eric Sugrue opened Big Fish Grill on Coastal Highway in 1997 and spent the following decades accumulating the kind of reputation that no marketing spend can manufacture: multiple "Best Seafood at the Beach" awards from Delaware Today and Coastal Style magazines, a loyal following that has been returning since the late nineties, and a consistency of quality that has outlasted the turnover that claims most restaurants before they reach their tenth year. The restaurant's formula is clear and honestly executed: hand-selected seafood, delicious preparations, and affordable prices in a casual atmosphere that accommodates large parties without friction.

The menu covers the full range of what a serious American seafood grill should offer: fresh fish preparations, steaks for the table that does not want seafood, and pasta for the gap in between. Hand-selected seafood is the commitment that has driven the award recognition — sourced with intention rather than convenience, prepared with the respect that quality ingredients warrant. The portions are designed for the generous appetite that a day at the Delaware beach produces, and the pricing reflects a genuine commitment to accessibility rather than the premium that beachfront locations so often extract.

Big Fish Grill operates as part of the Atlas Restaurant Group, which provides the organizational infrastructure to maintain quality across high-volume service. The result is a restaurant that can handle a large group on a Saturday evening in July — without compromising on the seafood selection or the quality of execution that has defined the brand for nearly three decades.

For groups of any size, the Coastal Highway location provides easy access by car and sufficient parking for the vehicles that a team dinner typically requires. Delivery and take-out are available for the group that prefers to eat elsewhere.
