NDMK Fish House

The place is ok, serves some really good food but it kinda depends on what you order. The fish and chips we ordered (with halibut) were absolutely amazing. Cooked to perfection! The spiny lobster was nice but nothing special to make it cost $80. It also came with a side but then I ended up being charged for the side so … IDK. One of the sushi rolls was ok but the soft crab one was not - the crab was black from being over fried and didn’t taste fresh. Staff is nice and friendly.

NDM Fish House is located off the waterfront street in Catalina. We decided to give them a try. The restaurant is small, with booth seating and some chairs, for non-booting seating and makes it easier for handicap customers. We came in, were seated and provided menus. We ordered water while perusing the menu. The waiter that helped us was friendly, but kept forgetting our waters. He finally brought the waters and we placed our meal orders. We had lobster bisque and fish and shrimp. The food was brought out hot. The lobster bisque was very good. The fish and chips were excellent. The crust on the halibut fish was crispy, light and really had a good flavor. The French fries were dipped in something and they were excellent. We all tried each other’s food and thought it was all good.

Okay place for seafood, though not amazing. The bread on my lobster roll was too stiff and the lobster itself wasn't tender enough. The fries were decent. I liked their shrimp burrito. The fish and chips was okay... but the pieces of fish served were much smaller than I was expecting.

Arrival: 12:30pm on a Sunday Wait time: basically none Service was decent. Food came out pretty fast. Bottled water for sale only, so bring your own water. Poke bowl with salmon. Half rice, half lettuce Rice was very hard. Not fully cooked. Salmon was minimally seasoned, but tasted pretty fresh. I added soy sauce and the rice ended up too salty. The masago, avocado, seaweed salad, and edamame were good. Spicy tuna burger It was good. Has a decent kick (coming from someone who had a spice tolerance). Fries were very salty. Shoe string. Very crunchy. Garlic bread was good.

I went here three times for lunch while I stayed in Avalon. That should say something! I loved the atmosphere and the food! I had the pier salad with whatever fish they had for the day. Delicious. My teen loved the fish tacos and my husband enjoyed the fish and chips. Many people were ordering sushi which also looked great. This is one of those treasures that make you look forward to returning to a place! We’ll be back.
