    DMV-like lines, tacky nautical décor, and thick wafts of burbling fryer oil—all of which are worth it for the crunch of the ultimate fried whiting sandwich. Read more

    Food is great. Usually get fish dinner. You get enough to share. Yesterday, got shrimp! Was good, but turned off because they didn't devein (clean) shrimp well. Pet peeve even w/Chinese restaurants.

    This is a straight-up southern style fish joint, which means anything that swims, be it catfish, porgy, or whiting, takes a bath in a fryer before it hits the wax paper. Read more

    It might have been better (and cheaper) when it was a hole-in-the-wall across the street, but the fried whiting, mac n’ cheese and collar greens are to die for.

    The strawberry cake is better than it has any business being. The cake portion is moist and light, and the cream has a delicious bubblegum like flavour.

    One of the best seafood places in Harlem. Food's always good & cooked fresh per order. Their 2nd location needs work. It's literally a hole in the wall & sketchy

    Best fried fish but go expecting to spend time on line and for your food to be ready.

    The food was great but it took them 45 mins to get my food. And literally 20 people who came after me got their food before me. And of course there was very little concern when I complained.
