What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Something Fishy Seafood Restaurant in Wilmington for the episode "Seafood and Savory" (aired 2018-04-27). The restaurant serves calabash-style fried seafood plates, including trout, flounder, and scallops, alongside sides like fried okra, coleslaw, and hush puppies, according to Carolina Beach's visitor guide. Something Fishy operates on South College Road in Wilmington. The business's Facebook page returned an active HTTP 200 response on 2026-09-08 but no readable current text, so a Yelp business listing was used instead: it was updated in September 2026, carries 226 reviews, and lists posted hours running seven days a week except Monday. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change notice appears on Yelp or in Google's business listing, both of which show the restaurant operating from its original address.
