We ordered fried calamari, grilled salmon, ceviche, fried catfish and a dozen oysters 1/2 prepared and 1/2 regular..... everyone loved their food! The drinks were also good. The waitress was super friendly and answered all our questions. We’ll most definitely make this a regular spot.

If you want some really good seafood come eat here! I always get the salmon pina and it is a 10/10. The seafood boil is also amazing! Not to mention the fish tacos. My favorite seafood place for sure!
