Chorney-Booth: Big Fish and Open Range brings the surf and the turf to new Marda Loop location

Big Fish and Open Range brings the surf and the turf to new Marda Loop location on Calgary Herald

Calgary has seen some wonderfully whimsical restaurants over the decades and one of the quirkiest concepts has been the one-two punch of Open Range and Big Fish. Initially two distinct side-by-side restaurants, one specializing in seafood and the other in steak, the surf was very intentionally separated from the turf. But, like everything else, the restaurant has evolved over the years. Not only are creatures from land and sea now living in harmony in a single room, but 15 years after first opening, Big Fish/Open Range has expanded with a second location in Marda Loop.
