What an early Christmas present!!! 😂. But seriously everytime I contemplated giving up my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gifts me something just at the perfect time. A lot of times I pray for reviews from big time food writers in the local magazines and newspapers but for real this is better cause it’s from you!!

When I first heard of black-owned Fishscale, it was via an image of the Chesapeake Cheesesteak. I was a bit skeptical because it wasn’t beef.
​☁️

​Here is the thing, I think of myself as a cheesesteak expert. I am originally from south NJ & due to the proximity to Philly, I grew eating my share of cheesesteaks. When I first moved to VA 20+ years ago, I learned that it is called a steak & cheese sub, & often the taste was just a backward it was called.
​☁️

​I preordered & walked from my sister’s to take advantage of the warm day.
​☁️

​While I briefly waited on my order, I inquired about the signature aioli on the side. The chef saw my “Foodie Est. 1985 (available for purchase via my DM)” t-shirt & asked, “ How are you a foodie that orders sauces on the side?”
​☁️

​I answered, “ I like to taste my food before adding the sauce.” I believe great food should be well seasoned on every level.
​☁️

​I bit into my cheesesteak & wow, my thoughts about cheesesteak should only be beef changed! The Maryland Blue Catfish was fried and seasoned with caramelized onions & green peppers with provolone cheese. The cheese pulls that I was able to achieve with each bite were perfect. I regret not having the setup to video properly. After that 1st bite, I put on the signature aioli, and I found myself pouring it on! All respect to chef H. Brandon Williams.
​☁️

​The secret sauce to a great cheesesteak is the bread, which is just as important as what is on or between the bread. My Chesapeake Cheesesteak bread was soft with a slight crunch!
☁️
​I almost greedily ate the whole sandwich, but I restrained myself & walked back to give my mom the last bite. She ate the bite and said it was a good cold. You know something is delicious when you can eat it cold!
​☁️

​How do you get yours?
Fishscale is located on Florida Avenue NW between LeDroit Park and Shaw neighborhoods, cross the street from the Metro PCS that plays Go-Go!
​☁️

​There is limited seating for dine in, so I recommend either ordering for pickup on their website or having it delivered via and .
