Last Updated: November 2021
Current Status: Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m – 7 p.m. Counter service.
Overview: The narrow store front leads to a kitchen turning out fresh, sustainable fish sandwiches, but not ones that are goopy with mayo or breadcrumb-wrapped. The shop focuses on fish and presents it as cleanly as possible. You can add a few toppings and there are limited number of sides that change frequently. It is a great alternative to a burger or a sub. It is a Black-owned business that is just a few years old from a chef/entrepreneur with some serious credentials. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
If you are looking to support more Black-owned businesses in the area, then be sure to check out Anela Malik’s site (Feed the Malik) with an updating list of places that are open.
