To solve this problem, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: $9 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{75}{8}$. Then divide the total amount of fish by the amount per serving: $\frac{75}{8} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{75}{8} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{225}{8} = 28 \frac{1}{8}$. Therefore, the correct answer is C) $28 \frac{1}{8}$ servings.
