Fresh fast fish

If you want good fish for under 10 bucks and under 10 minutes, come here. The fish grill is one of those places where you order up front and get a number for them to bring your food to your table. The menu is pretty straightforward with a decent selection of grilled or fried fishes served with rice or fries (some as salads). Almost everything is under 10 bucks and the food comes out fast. I had the seared tuna and it seemed like only minutes before it was at the table.

The ambience is sort of a Chipotle-ish modern look and there’s a nice patio for when it’s not too hot. The portions were quite good for the price. I’ll definitely be back here. It’s going on the list.

Dishes I tried:

Seared Ahi Tuna

Ever so slightly seared on the outside and straight raw on the inside – yummy. I got it with rice (seemed healthier than fries). Rice was a little plain but it was an ok complement to the fish. I ate my tuna with tartar sauce. Good stuff.

Tremendous Value

I eat here all the time. It’s a no-frills place, but the quality of the fish is exceptional and they give you a LOT! I order the cajun salmon, but the fried fish and the shrimp are amazing. It’s great food at a low price. Best salmon ever. The grilled shrimp taco is nice, too. Try it; you’ll become a regular.

Do not bring cat here

…because it would go crazy from all the savory fish!

The reviewer Justin below pretty much nailed everything price and ambiance wise… fish for under 10 bucks and pretty speedy service. The interior really reminded me of Chipotle!!

I ordered the charboiled mahi and mahi and boy when it came with the fries i was literally frothing at the mouth (maybe because i was so hungry!). It came with fish and fries. I got both the cajun sauce and the butter/garlic sauce at the counter, and I must say these are two perfect complements to the fries and fish. On top of that, i garnished my fish with a couple lemons. I also got the New England tartar sauce and regular tartar sauce from the counter (does anybody know the difference to these two? They taste different, but one is not worse than the other). So to clarify, I had cajun sauce, butter-garlic sauce, tartar sauce, and new england tartar sauce in front of me. All the sauces were so savory and supplemented the fish and fries. Would highly recommend this place, even if you’re not a fish lover.

Man typing this up is making me crave some fish. Definite must try.
