Old Fish House Restaurant

My family and I went here and we absolutely loved it! We plan on making it a stop we make each year when we're in town. We're from out of town, so we searched around and were looking for a place that was a little different, not overly crowded, and didn't look like all the other cookie cutter places around town/tourist holes - this place delivered & more! The service was fast and reliable, way above and beyond. The food was incredible. The sweet tea was great, coffee fresh brewed, the desserts were the bomb (we tried one of everything), and the fish was delicious. Between all of us, we had mahi mahi, salmon, chicken tenders and fries, corn on the cob, cole slaw, salads, fried oysters, shrimp, and more, and it was all top notch! The atmosphere is different, but it's welcoming, bright, and makes you feel like you're a local and regular, even when you're not. Everyone who was in with us was definitely a regular because they knew our server by name, and she knew theirs, and that was special to see honestly. The key lime pie was strong, but that's the way I like it! Everything was fresh, made in house. The bleu cheese salad dressing was honestly the best dressing I've ever tasted and I wish I could bottle it and take it with me.

First, I had fairly low expectations, as I knew nothing about the area and this was in a rather nondescript strip shopping center. But once I asked a question about the soup of the day, the waiter asked “do you want a sample?” Now that’s a cut above! He brought two samples—delicious!—so we ordered some, surprisingly full of crabmeat too. I hadn’t eaten haddock in years, so ordered a “small” size serving. Since we get two sides with it (only $16!) , I had a baked potato and some vegetables. I was stunned to find a large plate (pictured) filled with this large haddock fish—no fake fillet of unknown origin, and perfectly done—filling the plate. The haddock was perfect, delicious, the veggies not overdone and not underdone—frankly I’ve never experienced this anywhere else. Without asking, he brought us all iced water. He offered more sour cream for my baked potato. Our waiter went way above and beyond any normal expectation! He was also personable in a perfectly decent and balanced way. After a very difficult day, this experience renewed my faith in people, in reality and places of business, and I was more full than in quite some time. Others in our party also ordered jalapeño poppers stuffed with crab, really great! A fried oyster sandwich, clam strips, French fries, and fried pollock. We all left very happy to have chosen to eat here. Truly exceptional in every way, with incomparable friendly service. Highly recommended. Don’t let appearances fool you; this is first class food!

After seeing several posts on social media highlighting how good their fried shrimp are I was able to stop in today and try them out. Everything came out hot, tasted great and the shrimp, fries and coleslaw were everything I hoped for! A perfect amount of breading too on the shrimp. The owner was friendly and his staff were as well. I'm glad I stopped in.

My neice and I Looked for seafood after leaving the beach and just happened onto this place. Men Nice hostess/ bartender welcomed us in. I asked if the clam chowder chowder was homemade and I was told yes but quickly found out it was not… Although it was a brand I am very familiar with just too salty. The fish sandwich was good. And the hush puppies were not bad.

Clam chowder was very good. 4 stars. Then I ordered a crab cake with coleslaw and red potatoes. Coleslaw was tiny and forgettable. I got 2 large boiled red potatoes on my plate and that was it. A first for me. The crab cake had no crab chunks, but something that had been put in a blender or food processor over a leaf of lettuce and slice of tomato. I should have ordered the corn and fries. I wanted this place to be good.
