I enjoyed their cold noodle dish at the Cincinnati Open. Incredibly fresh tasting and home made. In hot weather what a perfect dish!

Just tried Lobster Bakes at the Cincinnati Open. The lobster on the lobster roll was fresh but it was hard to decide how it tastes because the filling was so skimpy. The chips with the fish and chips were hot, fresh and tasty. The fish part however was so fishy it was hard to eat it without gagging. Not good when the best part of your $50 meal ais the fries you can get anywhere.

Great fish and more. Some sushi grade, just let them know you will be eating raw.

What a fantastic find and were absolutely blown away! We ordered the lobster roll and the fish and chips - both were phenomenal and the Narragansett was the icing on the cake!
The lobster roll was *perfectly* done: buttery, fresh, and loaded with tender lobster meat. No fillers, no nonsense - just pure New England flavor. It felt like we were right on the coast of Maine.
The fish and chips were crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. The fish was flaky and fresh, and the fries were hot, crispy and satisfying.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a laid-back, coastal vibe that made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Great local place. fresh seafood and related items in this small, authentic- feeling New England seafood retailer. It's small and can get a bit crowded inside, but patience is a virtue ( according to my grandmother...;). Their selection is good and I recommend the fresh Verlasso salmon . Also their ala carte appetizers. Try it, you'll become a regular patron like me. Call ahead for pickup to savensome time.

Everything is always fresh!

First time visiting the store. Kind friendly service. The smoked trout will have me coming back often. The parking lot was empty when I first pulled in, so at first did not know if open. Just go up to the door and you will be happy you did.

Got a literal “taste” at Taste of Cincinnati on 5/24/25. I would love to tell you how the “Lobsta” tasted but it was 80% bun and lettuce – nothing like the advertised picture. Tasty = Sure… Portion = a measly rip-off. Seriously. I’m not one to leave a bad review but these people should not rip people off like this.

Yummy fish and chips! We lived in England for 4 years and often enjoyed a fish and chips pub dinner. The Shack offers the same delicious taste and service! It is always a short drive to Newtown and so worth it for a lovely evening and experience at The Shack on a Saturday!
You have to try this place. The food is top tier, the staff is incredibly accommodating, and we could not have personally planned a better experience. If you like seafood, you will love this place. I will be coming back here for anything seafood related that I need.

Great, small place. Laid back and very friendly. Food was excellent. It is a little pricey but still a great value (fresh fish isn't cheap) and they have lower cost items on the menu too. Highly recommended, we will be back!

Best fish in town! Always fresh and the fish & chips on the weekend are incredible!

First off, I just love this place. The seafood is fresh and fabulous, and they have quite a selection. I didn't say they always have every fish selection you want, but they always seem to have a great substitute.
The help there is top notch, and their recommendations have never failed. Tell them what you're thinking about doing, such as blackened fish, and they'll steer you down the right path. They also have great prepared items such as The Drunk (marinated salmon to die for), crab dip, crab cakes, shrimp dip, whipped butter with sea salt (or fresh garlic), fish frys on Friday... need I say more?
It's not cheap, but oh so worth it. The advice alone is worth any difference in price over your local grocer. Sorry Kroger... You go once and you'll keep going. Great fresh fish is so worth driving a few extra miles to! Oh, and if you're going on a Friday to get a fish fry (yum!), be prepared to stand in line. It's that good...

They always have a variety of seafood there and it is very fresh. The prices are a little pricey; but it seems to be worth every penny. We go there alot. All in all...consider us loyal guests!!
