After all the good reviews I seen, I just had to try it out myself and the fish was on point. It's my new spot

Simple, cheap and tasty. Tiny little spot, not quite a hole in the wall has a couple seats for waiting and a good vibe. Weekend nights they got a dj playing into the streets for a bit of party vibe. Fish was tasty. I tried the pickled onions bc they offered, not my favorite but each his own I've had the tilapia and whiting both were good. It's a little far from me but I'll find my way back. And yes, they OPEN at 4pm.

I had the whiting and fries, and it was delicious . The fish is well seasoned, and the pepper sauce and ketchup taste so good together. If you love fish and chips, I definitely recommend this restaurant.
