I came on a friday and ordered a fish and chips. Fish tasted very fresh. Only thing I could recommend is draining the oil a little bit longer so the fish at the bottom don't get soggy. The fries were good. Mac salad was okay. Pricing was great for the amount of food I received and service was fast. Wasn't a deal breaker for me but the restaurant does only accept cash so make sure you have cash on hand to avoid atm fees. Servers were very nice as well! Would definitely come back if in the area.

Anytime I am in the area I am sure to stop here. They have fish fry dinners, clam dinners, all sorts of seafood dinners for under $20. Everything is fresh and you can buy your own seafood and cook it up yourself if you prefer. Their food is delicious and such a treat. The owner and staff have always been so friendly and welcoming and helpful. Never ever had a bad experience here. They do have a sit down restaurant next to the store. I will note that at least in the store they do not take card, they have an ATM on site if needed, but it's cash only. Highly recommend this place to meet your non-commercialized seafood needs.

Usually, we do take out as we live close. The quality, selection, and service can not be beat. Very informal and relaxed seating if desired.Parking: Never have had a problem in 15 yrs.

I love the fish fry here. It is the best. We have tried other fish fry places and fine this is the best. My husband also likes the New England Clam Chowder.

I went in to purchase seafood to cook at home. The owner suggested the cod. I absolutely loved it! I seasoned it and placed it in my airfryer oven along with asparagus. I was very impressed with the quality, taste, etc. of the cod. The asparagus was delightful also.

I had the broiled fish with cole slaw. Best fish around. Same goes for the fried fish my husband had.

This is my fish monger. Anytime I want fresh fish; this is the place. (They also have a nice restaurant next door if you want a fish fry!) - just note, it's cash only. No credit cards (they do have an ATM on site tho)

Get the platter. It's so damn good. They always have the details and why it tastes so damn good. Go there. Eat good. Have fun.
