Do you tend to swing and miss when it comes to celebrating Valentine’s Day? This year, you can set a new standard by taking your date to Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham. It’s been a Birmingham institution for close to three decades and continues to thrive in its new location at Pepper Place. If you’ve yet to eat here, find out what you’ve been missing. Then, make reservations to secure a table for your Valentine’s Day date.
A Modern Neighborhood Restaurant
With exposed brick, an open kitchen, and a chef’s counter, Hot and Hot Fish Club has a hip, modern vibe that you’ll find at the best neighborhood restaurants. In fact, that’s the vision Chef Chris Hastings had when moving to the new location in 2020. He wanted it to look and operate like a neighborhood eatery, and it truly does, from the décor to the friendly staff.
Modern, Eclectic Dishes
Chef Hastings’ menu is full of unique, artisan dishes that set the tone for an elegant, romantic evening. On a normal night, you could start with the bakery bread. The buttery goodness is always divine but consider getting the bone marrow appetizer on Valentine’s Day. It’s such a delicacy that it will elevate your night in an instant.
The menu is even more mouthwatering when it comes to the entrees. Consider an upscale option such as the Duo of Duck on the romantic holiday. Oh, and the Hot and Hot Asian Noodle Bowl is out of this world. It might not sound as upscale as the duck, but the presentation is amazing. In fact, it’s as worthy of a photo as any dish on the menu.

End With a Romantic Dessert
This restaurant has a handful of desserts, but one stands a cut above the rest. It’s called Elton’s Chocolate Soufflé, and it’s a masterpiece. When Hot and Hot Fish Club moved locations, it changed its menu. This dessert is a carryover from the previous location, though, and you’ll see why they kept it around after the first bite. Your date will have the perfect ending when you share this divine dessert.
Be sure to make reservations so you can have dinner at Hot and Hot Fish Club on Valentine’s Day. They are filling up fast, so don’t delay.
