Fresh Off the Boat is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from 2015 to 2020. The show is loosely based on the life of Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American chef and writer, and his book of the same name. The series follows the story of a Taiwanese-American family who move from Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida in the 1990s, where they open a steakhouse.

The show explores themes of culture clash, identity, and assimilation as the family navigates their new life in a predominantly white neighborhood. The parents, Louis and Jessica Huang, struggle to balance their Taiwanese heritage with their American dream, while their children, Eddie, Emery, and Evan, face challenges fitting in at school and finding their own identities.

Fresh Off the Boat was notable for being one of the few network television shows to feature an Asian-American cast and for its representation of Asian-American culture. The show received critical acclaim for its humor, authenticity, and cultural significance, though it also faced criticism for perpetuating stereotypes and not accurately portraying the experiences of all Asian Americans.
