Spike's Fish Market is both a restaurant and a sea food market, popular with locals who enjoy fresh seafood without "breaking the bank."
This small "shack sized" restaurant offers locally caught, fresh seafood without gourmet trimmings
The menu is basic with a variety of traditional seafood dishes offered either raw, broiled, or battered.
Don't expect creative or artistically prepared dishes here. It's good, fresh seafood, reasonably priced. Nothing fancy, upscale, or eclectic
The restaurant has sit down table service with a very friendly wait staff. There are around 20 picnic bench style tables in a seat yourself, very casual setting.
What you can expect though are very long lines in the summer --- locals come during the off season.
It's family and kid friendly.
Spike's Fish Market is open year round, seven days/week for lunch and dinner
