SOLID FISH AND CHIPS SPOT!! Ordered the Fish and Prawns combo which came with 1 fish, 3 prawns ($12.45) and a small cup of their clam chowder ($6.75 for a small). The fish is SO tender and flaky, it was practically falling apart and the batter is light, airy and so crispy! The fish was longer than my whole face and it was a good thickness which was a plus. The tartar sauce here is SO GOOD. Creamy with a hint of dill, they really have their sauce down here. I thought the shrimp would be overcooked since other fish and chips spots I've been to do not have good shrimp for some reason but BOY, was I dead wrong! THE SHRIMP WAS SO GOOD, Y'ALL HAVE TO GET THE SHRIMP. It reminded me of shrimp tempura, with how airy the batter was and the shrimp was nice and bouncy inside! So addicting to eat, I

This little restaurant has a long line on a Friday night. You order at the front desk and then go get your meal. There are not many tables, so many people order togo . The fish fillet is outside light crispy inside tender , you can tell fish is fresh ! Dipping with tartar sauce are so good ! Overall : Good : Fish , oysters, zucchini, calamari Skip : popcorn shrimp

I ordered 4 piece and got an extra! Unfortunately the fish was overcooked. Super crunchy and dry inside. The fries somehow were also really dry. No salt or seasoning. Tasted very blah. It'll be hard to want to go back if the first time wasn't worth it.

I just ordered fish and Chips w oysters for my family and 1 order 1 fish and chips. The orders each came with only 1 regular fish and a small piece for the 2nd piece, but either way each order had 1 regular size fish and the other was skimpy. I called back and the Lady couldn't speak very good English and was telling me she didn't understand. I started speaking to her in Spanish and she still didn't understand or was playing it off. I told her I took pictures of exactly what we received. Still no response. Do not come here because something is going on with not giving the 2 regular size fish w my orders. I do not recommend this place can't even solve the problem a paying customer has. Don't order to go if you eat here you should eat inside so you can see what you are getting. Buyer Bewa
