The Story

It started with a catering company

The restaurant's published story began in 2004, when fishing buddies and business partners Jay Herrington and John Mitchell expanded their catering business, Central Florida Foodworks, and opened Fish On Fire. The catering side had been running since 1989 — the restaurant gave it a room of its own.

A gathering place

The restaurant quickly became a gathering place for area anglers and the communities of Conway and Belle Isle. The original restaurant description says its staff delivers fresh, fantastic seafood and Florida style cooking to its guests, for a “reel” good time. Large parties are welcome, and celebrations are often shared with others.

Come aboard, relax, have fun and bring your “Fish Tales” to share.

The kitchen still travels

The official about page describes catering at the restaurant or another venue. Availability, location and event arrangements require confirmation with the operator.

Beyond the dining room

The restaurant’s older printed story describes a gathering place for Conway, Belle Isle and area anglers. This is the venue’s own historical account, rather than an independent assessment of present-day community activities.
