Reviews
The fish is SO tender and flaky, it was practically falling apart and the batter is light, airy and so crispy! The fish was longer than my whole face and it was a good thickness which was a plus. The tartar sauce here is SO GOOD. Creamy with a hint of dill, they really have their sauce down here.
I thought the shrimp would be overcooked since other fish and chips spots I’ve been to do not have good shrimp for some reason but BOY, was I dead wrong! THE SHRIMP WAS SO GOOD, Y’ALL HAVE TO GET THE SHRIMP. It reminded me of shrimp tempura, with how airy the batter was and the shrimp was nice and bouncy inside! So addicting to eat, I wish I got more. The cocktail sauce was so good too–slightly savory with a horseradishy flavor that made the shrimp even tastier!
The fries were on a thicker side and reminded me of Burger King fries. Nothing special but also not horrible. ASK FOR KETCHUP!!
The clam chowder is not thick in the slightest and has more potatoes than clams. If you’re not a big seafood flavor person you’ll like this, as it reminded me of potato soup. It was decent but I wouldn’t get it again at $6.75 for a small, I can get a can of Progresso for cheaper!
My only minor complaint was a slight oily aftertaste with the fish and shrimp. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it did taste like the oil could’ve been changed a bit more recently.
I thought that 1 fish and 3 prawns wouldn’t be enough food for me but I was so full afterwards! Great service too, just make sure to ask for some ketchup and hot sauce if you’re ordering food for takeout.
There are not many tables, so many people order togo .
The fish fillet is outside light crispy inside tender , you can tell fish is fresh ! Dipping with tartar sauce are so good !
Overall :
Good : Fish , oysters, zucchini, calamari
Skip : popcorn shrimp
Don’t order to go if you eat here you should eat inside so you can see what you are getting. Buyer Beware..it’s upsetting w the price of eating out these day and when we can scape up enough money to eat out…this is the end result (Absolutely Disappointing)
The fish was great, not oily or loose, just solid fried fish.
Fries had no salt but we’re fine.
Their clam chowder while a bit potato heavy was full of clams too.
One last thing, the staff is so nice and gracious to you. Sure there not fast but it’s a small team back there so please be patient with them cause the food is worth it
Excellent tasty food and price. Good portion of fish. I also enjoy the other seafood (e.g., oysters, calamari). Combo specials are good mix too.
