This restaurant is a well-established member of the Newport Beach dining community it has been around since the 1950s and shows no signs of aging. There is an additional location in Tustin if you are not this far south. Knowing that it is not appearance that counts but taste, this restaurant is very casual and serves its fish on paper plates. Patrons range from regular Joes to celebrity superstars, but the place is always packed, and there is usually a wait for a table. It is famous for Manhattan clam chowder but everything here is delicious, from grilled tuna to crab and beyond. When you see how small your bill is, you will think there is something very fishy going on indeed. Entree prices range from $5 to $10. Beer and wine are available by the glass.
