Seafood
Old shack of a seafood restaurant constructed using basically plywood only. I don’t really know how it’s still standing, but glad it is. The seafood is fresh and service is amazing. So are the views and you usually see dolphins. If you like vegetables and health food, go somewhere else, this is deep fried fresh seafood served in large portions. The fish and chips meal can feed 2. If oysters are in season and you are brave, order the oysters!
