Stopped at Crabby Rick’s for a quick bite. Everything was delicious! They went above and beyond even through to the kids meals. Homemade French fries were a hit with them, the hotdog was great quality and so was the burger. Kids loved it. We got the blackened fish salad and my goodness amazing! Delicious all around. Also got to try the red snapper sandwich and it was definitely 10/10. Really sweet staff, will definitely be back.

The place isn't very comfortable since you will be sitting in outdoor benches, I ordered fish tacos, but apparently nobody taught them that they need to heat the tortillas before. So they gave for 20$ cold tacos, the flavor was ok, but with 2 small shrimps per taco and plenty salad, they should be called salad tacos with shrimp instead. the staff are very young and disorganized, so the service is poor. I would not recommend this place besides for a takeaway snacks.

I had the fish & chips. My girlfriend had the lobster tacos.The food was pretty good 👍They actually had malt vinegar for the fish & chips at the table which is was great. Most places do not & look at you weird if you request it. The atmosphere was really relaxed. Service was pretty good. The kids working were friendly & the food came within a few minutes of ordering. The assortment of sun teas were pretty cool. Def a solid seafood/fish fry place for the shore area. ✌😎

All you can expect from a shack. Popcorn shrimp was good, fish tacos fresh and tasty and lobster roll and Mac and cheese were not my favorites but still enjoyable. The staff was very friendly and super fast.

Fresh and yummy. Really good portions. Soft shell crab sandwich huge! Salads fresh. Fresh fish cooked to order. Awesome herbal teas available with refills. It’s outdoor seating only. Worth checking out.
