Fishers Farmers Bakers @ Georgetown

Located right next to the Washington Harbor in Georgetown, Fishers Farmers Bakers offers a wide selection of dishes from East to West pair with exotic cocktails and local brewed beer...sounds familiar?  
Created by the same restaurant group as Founding Farmers, and operating with the similar concept, I think if you enjoy Founding Farmers, now Fishers Farmers Bakers is another good alternative.

Scorpion - Chef Mix Style
You can order any scorpion mix cocktails in this scorpion bowl, and if you get the Chef Mix like we did, you get flaming 151 in the middle.  It definitely has an eye popping factor to it (who doesn't like fire?), however to get the most bang (ahem...alcohol) for you bucks, get the zombie.

Zombie
I think this is bad because there's absinthe in it, and it's on the menu that you can't get more than 1 bowl per guest.  Drink responsibly!

Flying Dog
If crazy cocktails with fire is not your taste, FFB also offers a good selection of local brewed beer and seasonal beer that's changes all the time.

Duck Fat Chicken Wings
Duck fat are amazing; these chicken wings fried in duck fat are very crispy and flavorful.  A little asian twist of on the sauce with green scallions and soy sauce and a side of the mustard was also the perfect dip for the wings.  Tender, flavorful and crispy.  I don't know what more can you ask for in fried wings.

Beer Mussels and Fries
Fresh mussels cooked perfectly in beer.  Another good appetizer on the menu.

Fishers Fry Combo Platter
The combo platter comes with scallops, shrimps, and fish.  I am not a fan of fried seafood, so as long as the batter is not super thick and doughy, I will give it a pass.  Credit to the restaurant, the fish and shrimps where both decent size and fresh.  My favorite thing of the dish is actually the sweet corn, it's so yummy, I  will order that by itself as a side.

Detroit Red Top Pizza
The Detroit Red Top Pizza is a deep dish pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.  It was a little disappointing for me, since I am so used to District of Pi Pizza's deep dish pizza which comes with tons of sauce and toppings.  This pizza is small and doesn't have a lot of toppings, however they did a good job on keeping the crust crispy, but still not on par for me.  On a side note, go to Pi Pizza in DC for their deep dish pizza, it's so much better! Hopefully one day I will write a review on it.

Seafood Jambalaya
The Seafood Jambalaya - Chesapeake Style, comes with crabs, mussels, sausages, and shrimp.  I am indifferent about his dish, I think the generosity of the amount of seafood that comes with it, but the dish was dry.
  
Flounder with green peas and grits
It's always a good thing to end a meal with a strong dish and the flounder did it well this time.  The flounder was cooked perfectly.  It was crispy on the outside and flaky in the middle.  The two side items: green peas and grits where also good tasting.  Definitely a strong item on the menu.
