This fish shack, which isn't that far in exterior decor from a bomb shelter (it doesn't get significantly better inside), is run by Tom Courtney, local fisherman and all around surly character. So what's to love? Fish, crabs and oysters. Tom catches them, his wife cooks them, and everything is fresh and tasty.
