About Bare Bones Fish House & Smokery

Bare Bones Fish House & Smokery, now known as Off The Hook, is a welcoming spot that has undergone changes under new ownership. Visitors praise the delicious food, mentioning the great fish and chips and the halibut as standout dishes. The service is also commendable, with friendly servers. While some may find the atmosphere a bit chilly, the overall experience is well worth a return visit. Recent reviews highlight excellent fish and chips, with the halibut being battered and fried just right, served with chips and malt vinegar spray to keep the batter crispy. The salmon bowl is described as phenomenal, with many flavors that work well together. The restaurant also offers salads and shareable portions. The staff remains friendly and helpful, providing good service. The place has a peaceful environment and a lovely patio on sunny evenings.
