“ Great spot in the harbor for fish tacos. They are 7 each. I had two (1 grilled & 1 fried) they are big and come with a side of chips. I recommend if you’re looking for a quick bite on the go. Inside is small. I sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. ”

I encourage everyone to visit this Gem of a restaurant! You can thank me later! ”
“ Came here kind of on a whim after a day at the beach. Ordered the battered fish taco platter for 20. Initially thought it was just overpriced for two tacos but it is a LOT of food. It’s rice and beans (with cheese), chips, and two fish tacos that are BIG. Probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had in my life. The tortillas look these handmade corn things that were really good. The fish was unbelievable. I’d absolutely come here again. ”
“ Fish & Chips were delicious! Batter flavor was unlike any other I’ve had before. The fish was tender and juicy! Pickled onion topper to the cabbage was very delicious as well. Outdoor seating was comfortable with a tower heater on a cool foggy day. ”
“ Some of the best fish tacos i have had in a long while. Small hole in the wall place near the Harbor but worth it. ”
