This is a tiny shack at the end of a pier that you drive to the end of and park. You can sit at the bar or at a long counter on stools. There are only a few tables outside that are much coveted. The seafood is great, fresh and very inexpensive! If you go on a Saturday you'll have to put name on waiting list. Best to go at off times. But this is one of my faves if you don't mind very un-fancy.
