The fish and chips are always freshly made, with a light, crispy batter and fluffy fries that pair perfectly with tartar sauce-definitely worth getting extra sauces because the portions are generous. The menu offers a great variety of fresh seafood options, from shrimp tacos to poke bowls, all served by friendly staff who make the experience enjoyable and informative.

I visited this establishment a while back and decided to try the fish and chips as it sounded appealing. The food arrived promptly and was served hot, with the fish batter being light and crispy, and the fries fluffy on the inside and perfect for dipping. The overall experience was enjoyable, with the only minor downside being the somewhat underwhelming slaw accompaniment.
