The seafood and fish fry restaurant seems to have opened in 2012, serving a variety of fried fish, including cod, pollock, tilapia, and catfish. It also served hush puppies, fried clam strips, and Loard\u2019s ice cream. Facebook posts show that this shop has previously closed and reopened several times.
