Overall Impression
Right by the front door of the Durham Food Hall, this tiny seafood spot serves up great and locally sourced fresh fish. Part market, part restaurant, they have a very small menu, but what they offer is excellent and so fresh.

Leslie’s rating: 4.5/5

Ambiance
Casual bar seating and really loud since it’s a packed food hall. But we grabbed two seats at the bar and felt tucked away, like we were sitting in their kitchen eating a home cooked meal.

Service
A great group of guys took really good care of us at the bar. Lots of joking and shared appreciation of good food.

What We Ate

• Spicy Scallops on Wontons: Fucking delicious. Super fresh (they were in season!) and perfectly fishy, served raw and paired really well with a crunchy wonton. The light spicy mayo sauce gave it the perfect heat without overpowering the freshness.
• Fish Stew: A light, brothy soup with a TON of flavor. Perfectly smoky and delicious. Really tasty on a cold evening!
• Fried Black Sea Bass Platter: Very lightly fried whole fish cooked to perfection. The meat fell off the bones. Paired with seasoned waffle fries and coleslaw. It scratched our fresh seafood itch so well.

NOTE: We revisited this restaurant in October, 2025 and got the special of the day (fried whole fish) and it was good, but not quite as good as our first experience.
