1st off Cash Only and she will not let you place your order 1st and come back with your money , apparently other folks messed that up for us . With that being said the flounder meals well seasoned big portions hushpuppies small but sweet and fluffy. Whiting meal did not come with hushpuppies but also well seasoned . The side of scallops were overcooked and on the rubbery side but also seasoned well . Overall pretty good fish spot just dont forget your cash 😉

I am assuming the woman/owner was having a bad day today. I asked for what I wanted and she proceeded to tell me that I couldn't get that. I asked about something else and she stated I don't know what I want and walked away from the counter. I was left standing there, while she spoke loudly to the man/owner in their language. When I called out to her to she if she was going to wait on me she came around and suggested I can pick a number as she doesn't have time for this mess. I have gone there several times my other visits have been pleasant. I have experienced her do the same thing to other customers also. If you're going to run a business your customers would simply like you to respect them. I will never set foot in this place again! And I will continually spread the word about this re

I heard about their food being amazing! And everyone is right! Everything was completely fresh for each person that came in. Great size portions. And I actually hate hush puppies but I literally will just order a batch of hush puppies by itself if I want because they're so good here! They were very sweet. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND NICE WAITING... IT'S ONLY HER AND HER HUSBAND BACK THERE DOING EVERYTHING. I go once a week lol.

Excellent food and portions! Support local- this is a wife and husband run business. Food always fresh and generous portions. The amazing sauces and hush puppies home made. Highly recommend you try this hidden gem!

If you want FRESH Fried fish.. this is the place to go. Huge portions, Home Made cocktail sauce that is to die for. A No Frills location that is a stop, pick up a plate and go. No Fine Dining, No Nonsense.. just get it and go. Owner was kind and generous. You cannot.go wrong. Great price point as well. Put it this way.. everything is served in a to go box that you will not be able to.close the lid on.. bursting with food and flavor.
