Not so good

James Hills

The food was good and food was ready in a short time. Possidon's plate was good but slightly small portions given the higher price.

The spot maybe small, but it more than makes up for that in flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the oysters, but don't sleep on the sides or other entree options either... The crab cornbread was really tasty, the fries were cooked perfectly, and the blackened shrimp tacos were excellent (and abundant- I couldn't finish it all.)

As much as I loved my food(in pic)
The order for my wife was wrong
The nice girl did compensate for the mistake
The table was sticky
Was expensive..ok it's fresh fish....but the fountain drinks alone made the bill come to $60.. including 10%tip....!! For lunch!!

+++ Chesapeake Bay raw oysters (various sizes but not too small, some are big and fat, very fresh and taste very good, super deal for $1 buck-a-shuck, but too bad only available for one weekend)
++ Fish & chips (3 large fish fillets, taste good, fries in chip shape, very good)
++ Bowl of New England clam chowder (a little pricey, but a lot of clam pieces, very good)
+ Double flash fried soft shell crab, lettuce, tomato, onion on brioche with garlic lime aioli, served with chips and pickles on the side (very soft shell, taste good, chips with sweet Maui seasoning, good)
-- Located inconspicuously on the side of Mr. Bill's Seafood store. Not many seats and very plain appearance. Most items are a little overpriced.

The fat crab has the best seafood! Amazingly fresh and always delicious. Their cod fish and chips are hands down the best! What are you waiting for GO!!

Looks like a fish market but that is the beauty of it. Fish counter when you walk in and tables to the left.
Fish could not be any fresher.
Great meal! Give it a try

I asked if they had lump crabcakes and they said, yes, jumbo. So I ordered one. It was NOT a lump crabcake. There were a few pieces of lump, but it was mostly claw. I enjoyed the crab corn bread. Husband enjoyed the oyster Po Boy. The tomato fish bisque was mediocre. I will not return. Mostly because they lied.
