This is the world’s greatest sandwich. I had one last weekend at Fishbusterz, the small outdoor restaurant located right on the shrimp docks on Stock Island. This place is a little hard to find at first but it’s only a minute north of Key West. Ask directions and look for the signs and you’ll get there eventually.
Calling the sandwich the Fish Philly is a little misleading since it’s actually made with shrimp and lobster, both locally caught and unloaded off the boats right in front of your picnic tables. The lightly grilled crustaceans are covered in a spicy mayo and several slices of melted provolone. That alone would make any sandwich great but what puts this thing over the top is the bread. Fishbusterz actually buys the authentic Philly cheese steak bread from the D’Ambrosia bakery in Philadelphia. Anything else is just a hoagie roll. Our bread tasted like it was baked that morning.
As you can see from the picture, the Philly Fish also comes with a side of lobster potato salad and steak fries. The platter costs around $12. Is it good for you? Hell no. The whole thing is easily about a million calories, but you’ll burn that much after a day of fishing in the hot sun, so quit worrying about it. If you don‘t have a fishing trip scheduled then three weeks of sit-ups should cover it.
If you’re anywhere near the Florida Keys, go to Fishbusterz and order this sandwich as soon as possible. If this isn’t the best thing you’ve ever eaten, there is something seriously wrong with you.
