Slapfish is always a treat to have. I always get the lobster taquitos and the grilled fish bowl for the most part, but their lobster roll is also delicious. The people that work here are the best and very accommodating with your order. It's a cool spot to sit and eat and not stuffy on the inside. If you prefer to do take out, it's always nice too. Same great taste. Will always enjoy coming here.

We had such a great and welcoming experience here tonight. We met owners’ entire family and received the best care. The fried pickles were the best! I definitely got the impression they put a lot of care into their ingredients and a little of love into their customers. We will def be back!!

Clam chowder lacked clams, potatoes and most of all flavor.Fried fish taco was also uninspired.There are better choices on the Island.

I've driven past Slap Fish on my trips to HHI for the past decade--was never sure if it was "fast food" or beach seafood shack or what...and while locals either love or hate the place, I was encouraged to give it a chance and it would surprise me. I visited during the last week of February, so definitely "pre-season" and there was no wait (or many patrons) at 6:00 pm. I must confess that I am a New Englander, so we take our seafood pretty seriously; I'm not daft enough to order lobster in SC, when it should be coming from Maine, so I passed over those options, but I was curious to try the "New England Clam Chowder". We also ordered the fried pickles w/ Jersey sauce, an order of the special Jax shrimp (akin to bang bang shrimp), 2 fish sandwiches, a shrimp burrito, and I had an ultimate taco. You order at the counter, grab your utensils and condiments off to the side, along with fountain drinks & iced tea. They sell draft beer, a limited variety of bottled beer, some Truly-type seltzer cans, but I had to have a Mexican Coke, even though it set me back $4.50. Sit in the dining area and the food is delivered to your table. First off: the NE clam chowder was hot and filling, but it was more like a loaded baked potato soup--too viscous (not dairy based), some clam flavor, but too much bacon. I spied some clams, and there was a spicy finish; truthfully, I could not finish it but folks unaware of how it should be wouldn't bat an eye. The fried pickles were large spears in a light, tempura-like batter; the group agreed we'd have liked them cut into smaller bites to make them easier to manage. But tasty. The fish sandwiches were piled high with fresh cod filets, lightly breaded and sitting atop a brioche bun piled with lettuce & tomato, served with seasoned fries (paprika-forward). We got a side of the homemade coleslaw, and everyone agreed it was fresh and delicious. The shrimp burrito took a bit of time to come out after all the other dishes, but it was large and half was taken home to finish later. My ultimate taco was fabulous! It arrived garnished like some sort of fancy-pants entree at a high-end restaurant--a huge surprise and very filling. It lived up to its description requiring two hands to hold it. My favorite of the night was actually the special Jax shrimp, which we added on a whim--shrimp was perfectly breaded & fried, all very plump & juicy. I'd have eaten another order of them if I'd had the room. I believe Slap Fish is worth a visit--perhaps several visits. If you discount the New England clam chowder (get a native in the back to show the cook how to make it!), every piece of fish was fresh and delicious. Again, I'm not sure how Slap Fish measures up in the height of the summer season, but I was pleasantly enlightened on my first visit.

wish I would have listened to the review that gave one starMaybe had I tried the bowls or tacos would have been fine, husband and I ordered grilled fish and chips, fish was nonexistent, maybe 2 small pieces of dried out fish with a whole box of soggy fries! I'm not a big eater, but I'm seriously still starved after eating that! I knew we should have stuck with sea shack, a place that NEVER disappoints!

We failed to make reservations at Catch 22 and I’m glad we did because this place was AMAZING! The lobster roll was unbelievable, the bang bang shrimp was delicious. Our sons cod meal was delicious as well. Hidden gem here! So good. The owner was very kind and attentive as well.

I'm going to give this spot 3 stars in hope that the food is better later in the day. They had just opened when I order. But I got the Mahi it was grilled and it was on the dry side. But the sauces they had for the fries and on the taco was pretty good. I would like to try other items on the menu. Service was nice she told me the item was definitely a hot pick. Atmosphere is more of if your looking for a quick meal instead of a nice sit down and enjoy your time kind of place.
