Small store but BIG FLAVOR AND PORTIONS! The fish is fried to perfection and is seasoned the right way. You can taste expertise. Drove almost an hour to try it and I'm hooked

I took my mom here today for the first time and she loves their fish. The fish is fresh and the portions are great. This will definitely be our "go to" spot. :-)

Not fancy, but, the fish is always good. I've been coming hear since elementary school. If you don't mind bones, definitely go

Met the Chef today, porgies and whitings were delicious. No bells and whistles. Just straight up good fish.
