Resembling a fish shack from a small coastal village in Maine, this standing-room-only institution has had more than 50 years to perfect its extensive menu. The well-stocked market has all the accoutrements you need to create a full seafood buffet. The real score here is the fresh seafood and the breaded, fried-to-order shrimp sold by the pound in brown paper bags. Seasoned baked fish entrées help balance out the addictive hush puppies that quickly disappear.
