Down the Hatch Seafood Company

This place is an absolute gem — a truly amazing local secret. Let me start this special post by saying the food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. We enjoyed the fish of the day (Blackened Trigger with Teriyaki Green Beans), the Fried Shrimp Basket with roasted potatoes, the Fried Grouper with fries, and the Hatch Shipwreck. The fish is caught fresh daily, and we have never had a bad item here. The customer service was spectacular. Thank you Liz! The atmosphere is stunning. You can choose the outdoor patio bar (which I highly recommend if the weather is right) or dine inside, which is equally amazing.

The Trigger Parmesan was incredible — crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Fish Tacos were just as impressive, fresh and full of flavor. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes, great food, and people who truly make you feel welcome, this is

This place had an amazing sunset view. I sat on the patio next to the water. My waitress was awesome and attentive. I ordered Mac and cheese bites. The came out cold in the center. When I called the waitress over she said “they’re cold aren’t they” so they know it’s a problems. I then got fish (mahi) tacos and that was okay. Potato chips were nice and crispy. That was really the only thing I really liked
