Fager’s Island, Restaurant, Review, Ocean City, Maryland
Someone told me that I should think about ordering the rockfish at Fager’s. Well, 6 of us were getting together for dinner. 1/2 Price Prime Rib on Sundays and Mondays is now going on every week at Fager’s. It used to be Mondays and Tuesdays but probably this change is for the better. It did not matter to me because I was meeting very good friends and once this group gets together, we laugh all the way through the meal.
The pictures I took last night almost look like I was arriving at a club. Fager’s is an institution in Ocean City.
I probably don’t even have to tell you too much about it. I have written a post about Fager’s in the past. If you would like to see it just go under Archives, on the left-hand side of this blog and click on the month of April, and scroll down to the 20th.
Fager’s stays open year-round. It is located at 201 60th Street In the Bay in Ocean City, MD. Tel. 410-524-5500. Website is www.fagers.com.
It is a restaurant that can appeal to young and old. A little bit of entertainment for everyone.
When we arrived the entertainment on Sunday was Sonny. Sonny Sings Sinatra starts at 5 p.m. every Sunday. People were dancing to those unforgettable songs and Sonny was pretty good.
I did not think it was too crowded. We were seated in their Fine Dining section, upstairs.
After my pizza eating binge earlier in the day, I decided to have fish. I chose rockfish; blackened. Cindi did too, as well. The rest ordered the prime rib.
For appetizers one person ordered clams casino. They were devoured in no time. I guess they were good, but I really don’t remember him commenting on them.
I wanted the wedge with homemade blue cheese dressing and sweet bacon and caramelized nuts. I have ordered it before and it was just as good. It is a refreshing salad and the dressing is light, actually.
Cindi ordered the house salad and that was good too. This salad had field greens with toasted pine nuts and lemon raspberry vinaigrette with crumbled blue cheese on the side.
We were surprised when our waitress came to tell us that they had run out of rockfish. We were there pretty early. The restaurant offered to replace the rockfish with the sea bass.
It took a long time for our table to be served; I don’t know why because as I stated before it was not as crowded as other times.
Well, I am glad they ran out of rockfish because the sea bass was out of this world. Both, Cindi and I agreed.
The Chilean sea bass was broiled with a plum-sesame glaze and it was accompanied by a jumbo prawn and Thai basmati rice and vegetable.
The others that had the prime rib would be able to tell you that it was good but not their best. We are all fans of the prime rib at Fager’s; we think it is the best in Ocean City, but last night it was just okay.
Nevertheless, the conversation was colorful in many ways and we left the restaurant laughing and with the waitress after us since I had made a mistake on the tip which I promptly rectified. A true mistake, though.
And when will these friends get together again? I hope soon…can’t wait….
P.S. Please note that Fager’s is one of those restaurant that is very aware about food allergies. A gluten free menu is available for those who need it.

Talk to you later….have a great day!!!
