Tucked away in our island paradise, Island Pig & Fish is a culinary treasure that effortlessly fuses the rustic charm of a backwoods BBQ with the seaside allure of a coastal fish shack. This dining establishment, brought to life by the visionary Taylor Shull, represents a captivating culinary journey that has its roots in a remarkable backstory. Taylor, a seasoned restaurateur who made his mark as the Chief Operating Officer of the prestigious RW Restaurant Group in Washington, DC, alongside Michelin-starred chef Robert Wiedmaier, wasn’t initially planning to dive back into the restaurant business upon relocating to our island four years ago. However, as he settled into the local scene, he couldn’t help but notice a distinct need for something extraordinary – fresh, from scratch food prepared with passion and precision.
At the helm of this culinary adventure is none other than Executive Chef Dena, a culinary virtuoso with an unwavering commitment to using only the finest ingredients and delivering impeccable service. Deena and her passionate team pour their hearts into every dish, turning each plate into a work of art that tantalizes the taste buds. But what truly sets Island Pig & Fish apart is its unwavering dedication to crafting dishes from scratch. Practically everything on their menu is made in-house, from the tantalizing sauces to the slow-smoked meats, ensuring that every bite is a testament to quality and authenticity.

Now let’s dive right in and see what this place has to offer and what I had to eat!
Up first is the Smokehouse Fries dish. They’re a delightful fusion of flavors and textures: crispy French fries topped with tender smoked pork, zesty white cheddar “whiz” sauce, and a drizzle of smoky-sweet ranch hand BBQ sauce. The dish strikes a perfect balance between salty and sweet, with the smoked pork taking center stage. Finished with fresh green onions, it’s a mouthwatering creation that’s impossible to resist.
Up next is the Good Ol’ Shrimp & Grits. This Southern classic receives a delightful twist, featuring a bed of Cheesy Nora Mill Grits that are cooked to creamy perfection. Adorned with smoked tomatoes and drizzled with a tantalizing spicy harissa butter, each bite offers a symphony of flavors and textures. The generous portions of large, fresh shrimp steal the show, creating a harmonious combination that pays homage to tradition while adding a touch of innovation.
Now, let’s dive into the IP&F Burger, a flavor-packed delight that harmoniously combines salty, sweet, and tangy notes in a single, mouthwatering bite. Crafted from top-quality Allen Brothers beef, this burger is cooked to your preference, whether you prefer a hint of pink or well-done. What sets it apart are the exceptional toppings, including Cooper Sharp Cheddar cheese, a delectable bacon and onion jam, and house-made pickles, all crowned with a luscious drizzle of BBQ mayo. It’s a burger that stands out as one of the best, delivering a culinary experience that’s bound to satisfy your burger cravings.
Last but undoubtedly not least, the star of the show is the House Smoked Brisket Sandwich! This colossal creation features sliced brisket, generously crowned with dill coleslaw and a drizzle of ranch hand BBQ sauce, all embraced by a perfectly griddled potato bun. Be prepared to unhinge your jaw or reach for your fork and knife, this sandwich is an impressive handful of pure deliciousness! The brisket itself is flawlessly tender and boasts an enticing smoky flavor that’s downright irresistible. The addition of the slaw brings a delightful crunch and tanginess to each bite, making this sandwich a fulfilling and happiness-inducing culinary experience that leaves you both full and content. And if you’re looking for a truly unique side dish, try the cucumber salad, it’s a delightful surprise—a crunchy, tangy, slightly sweet dish with a welcome kick of spice on the back end that’s unlike anything I’ve encountered before.
