Came here for lunch and had a great time. Staff was incredibly friendly and fish was very fresh. Thank you so much Kim for being so informative with us and touching tables to see how everything was going. It was great talking to you!
We ordered a variety of items from the Tartare, fish and chips (mermaid fries; seasoning was so good), monkfish roll, oyster fritters, and the special of the day, Mussel chowder.
Everything tasted great in addition to the variety and dip sauces available. The sugar kelp hot sauce was incredible. Ended up asking the chef to buy some to take home. It was nice having a board showing what the fresh catches were and which fishing vessel supplied it. They had a type for each preparation method.
The substitute change in the lobster roll for monkfish worked really well. It had the texture of lobster claws with the same subtle sweetness inherently found in Lobster.
Can’t wait to visit again.

All I can say is I left a happy camper! I only took pics of the Yellowfin Tuna Mortadella sandwich, and green crab bisque which had giant monkfish chunks. We also tried their burger (my boyfriend ate it in four bites, too fast for me to take a photo of), oyster fritters which were surprisingly light and a little sweet. And the mermaid fries were addicting. You should go there while it’s still the off season, seating is limited, but I can see on a nice day taking your order out to the boardwalk by the drawbridge and eating by the water.

Best fish sandwich. Full flavor. Frying the food in beef tallow was a nice option to have and was the reason i found them on Seed Oil Scout. Loved that they show what local boats caught the fish and that all fish is sourced within 10 miles of mystic. Will be back for the 3-5pm happy hour. It’s $15-25 a person, portions were large and was very full.

Service is top notch for this new eating establishment! Their knowledge and creativity take their menu to the next level. Fried clam strips with their basil tarter is delicious. The fried fish sandwich was amazing and the presentation was spot on.

This was the summer of finding the best clam strips — and Mystic Fish Camp delivered exactly that! The owners take great pride in sustainability and high-quality food, but one of the many reasons I love this place is that they fry everything in beef tallow. You can truly tell that the owners — including a James Beard Award–winning chef — and the staff take pride in what they offer here.
Now, let’s talk about the food! The fried fish is golden and crisped to perfection — wonderfully crunchy on the outside and flaky, tender inside. The French fries are perfectly balanced: crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy center. The onion rings? Ummm… yes, please!
The clam strips are by far the best not only in the area, but in the entire state — fried to a golden brown with a light batter and soft texture. The beef tallow adds something special that takes them to another level.
And the oyster fritters — where do I even start? I’ve never had a fritter so delicate and perfect. The exterior is crisp and firm, just as it should be, but the inside is soft, airy, and moist with a delightful texture and incredible flavor.
Finally, the S’mores Ice Cream Sammie — a creative twist on the traditional ice cream sandwich. The outer layer has a soft, cake-like texture. I let my hands warm it slightly to make it even softer, and it was perfect. The ice cream didn’t squeeze out, which was a definite plus!
And don’t skip the sauces — try them all! Each one has its own unique flavor, and I’m sure you’ll find the perfect pairing for every dish (if not all of them).

Thought we would try it for lunch today! We ordered the kid’s meals, as we just wanted smaller portions. It was definitely plenty! My husband got the Cheeseburger and I got the Fried Clams! Both were delish, even the Fries! The Frozen Drinks were expensive. And the Frozen Tea was a little funky. Definitely liked the Lemonade better. They need more seating inside. Or tables outside. But we would definitely go again!

Five stars across the board! Food was outstanding. We enjoyed the Tartare Bowl, Beet & Mushroom Burger, and the addictive tasting mermaid fries with aioli sauce. What a gem in Mystic!

Mystic, CT just got crowned king of fried seafood. Mystic Fish Camp has officially taken the #1 spot for clam strips, fish & chips, and fries in Connecticut — and I don’t hand out that title lightly.
The clam strips are unbelievable: crisp, tender, and fried to perfection. Forget the chewy throwaway strips you get at tourist traps — these are the best clam strips in New England, period. The fries? Hand-cut, golden, fried in beef tallow — giving them a flavor and crunch you can’t fake. Straight-up addictive.
And the fish… holy hell. Perfectly battered, light, and flaky — easily the best fish & chips in Mystic and maybe the state. Zero grease, all flavor.
What sets this place apart? The menu was created by a James Beard Award-winning chef, and it shows. Every bite tastes like someone finally respected fried seafood enough to do it right.
If you’re searching for “best clam strips in Connecticut,” “best fries Mystic CT,” or “fish & chips near me” — this is the place. Mystic Fish Camp just raised the bar for everyone.

Mystic Fish Camp is the kind of place that gets the details right. It’s casual and unpretentious, but everything on the plate shows real technique and care.
The Tartar Bowl was a standout — fresh, perfectly seasoned seafood over coconut rice that’s fragrant and balanced. It’s the kind of dish that feels light but leaves you completely satisfied. The onion rings are my guilty pleasure — salt, vinegar, and pickle notes all happening at once with an incredible crunch. And the fish and chips are exactly what they should be: crisp, hot, and full of flavor, without a hint of grease.
You can taste the thought behind every element. It’s simple food, executed with precision — which is what makes it so good.
