Let's start with the good- The service was very good except for some very minor gripes. They had a utility man lounging behind the counter where the cash register was- not an employee- a cable guy. I bought a piece of cake out of the separate cooler. It was $4.99- and it was not edible. I would say it was over a week old. The woman at the counter should not have sold me that. It should've been thrown away. The chef was polite and prompt. The food: My food was prepared in a timely manor. It was costly. 2 small pieces of cod and 2 normal chicken tenders with a small amount of fries were $18.99. There was no seasoning- No salt on the fries, very little seasoning in the batter even the crispy exterior of the chicken was unseasoned. The fries were mostly peel- I'm ok with a rustic fry- but I'd like some actual potato. 4 of the fries were normal looking. The chicken was overcooked, hard, dry and bland. The cod inside the batter was fine- cooked well but the outside was a disaster. It was lying in a puddle of oil and the breading was bland, soggy and falling off. I should've known not to go in- the parking lot was empty of customers at 7pm. I wish it was better... read more

Fried cod and onion ring were really good. I prefer thinner onion rings . Next time i will ask if the have thin onoins ... They have cheese cake, ice cream and milk shakes. The ice cream and shakes arent on menu. Guess its a secret lol. read more

This business sits on a busy little corner but if your not looking you'll miss it. Clean and respectful with a nice of touch of personal service. Missing this spot would be a loss to your taste buds. Everything is made to order and hot when brought out to you. The flavor was great on the fish. The wings where cooked just right with its own unique flavor. Portions we okay for the price. The sandwiches avg. bout 8 and a meal bout 13-16 dollars. Only negative for me the tarter sauce. Its in a pouch and not very tasty. Decent amount of parking and easy on and off the street entrance. Again my opinion it'd be a shame to miss the crispy fish and chicken. read more

The seasoning on my cod was very flavorful. Not fishy at all, thick and dense. The fried shrimp is butterflied and has a crispy batter so you get a nice firm crunch with every bite. Comes with 10 pieces. Fried mushrooms are your standard fare. Clam strips were also very good and you get a nice size portion. Coke slaw was a bit sweet but I enjoyed it. This is a casual joint. Would definitely come back. The only change I would make is to make the tarter sauce in house. Find a really good recipe maybe add some horseradish and make it your own special sauce.. read more

I just want to say how disappointed we were with the meal we ordered on this date. Order was supposed to be: 1. Seafood Platter - fish was tough, shrimp was tuff (overcooked). Everything tasted like it had been deep fried twice. 2. Mix/Match - 2 Catfish & 2 Tenders Same as the first one. Tough and deep fried twice. Fried okra was hard from being fried twice or setting too long. 3. Chicken Wings, Mac n cheese, mozzarella sticks - when I got there they were out of Mac n cheese so substituted with potato wedges. Only had 3 mozzarella sticks so added hush puppies. Hush puppies were hard (deep fried twice), never received the potato wedges. This is the second time our order was messed up with some of our order missing. Called place back to let them know and was on hold forever. Never did get to talk to anyone. Have to say we won't be going there again. Waste of $58.00 for sure. read more

Order our food online they gave us a time so we left and went up to pick up order. They then said they didn't have an order for us so I showed them the Text I got and what we had order. He then writes down what we got and then told us it would be ready in 7 minutes. So we waited and waited our order was ready I notice that we only had one dinner I told him we had two orders of fish dinners and he said oh no just one i show him the text again. he went back and said we need one more fish dinner So we told them never mind and walked out. It's was 6:10 when we got there and we walk out at 6:40 didn't seem to concerned about it all so. He sat on his phone and wasn't worried at all about our food read more

The fresh fish has been fried PERFECTLY, crispy with just the right amount of light breading and seasoning, not greasy whatsoever, and not a hint of rancid oil aftertaste you can get from other fish fryers. They package your fish on bread in your to-go-box to keep your fish perfectly crispy for transport to home. Staffing was very busy and still friendly, my receipt says Mia helped me, and she's been there on all 3 of my visits. The food did take slightly longer than "fast food" but it's worth the wait to have made to order fresh food. I also thought the pricing was fair for the portion size and quality food. If you don't read any further this is all you need to know :) I'm not of any affiliation, just a friendly FIRST review to put a locally owned business on the yelp map in Trenton. (It looks like their middletown location has a lot of good reviews). This was our 3rd visit today since their opening in Trenton, and each experience has been great! All of our meals have been to go, but they do have a small dining area, nothing special except having access to extra condiments if you're a sauce dipper. I'm kind of a foodie, and have had a lot of exposure to travel and dining. I'm pleasantly surprised that our little "T-town" has a restaurant I'd actually drive out of my way for to pick up dinner :) One of the orders was placed and paid for online, and it was easy saving time for pickup. We've tried the whiting fillet meal and catfish fillet meal both with fries and coleslaw, whiting nugget meal (25pieces) with hushpuppies instead of fries, and today I chose the large gyro salad. I prefer the whiting over the catfish, but I think this might be my personal preference and nothing to do with their dish. Like I said before, your fish is packaged with care on bread to absorb any moisture preventing your fish from getting soggy on its transport home. They have other options for sides that I haven't tried. Today I ate the large gyro salad and it was a big portion filling the entire to go box. A good amount of gyro meat, leafy greens and iceberg mixed together, fresh sliced tomatoes and green peppers, banana peppers, and large pieces of feta cheese. I would have liked Greek olives too, but the large amount of banana peppers and fresh cut green peppers made up for it. They thoughtfully prepped the salad with each chopped veggie and peppers in its own corner so you could easily pick one out if needed. It comes with tzatiki sauce, but unfortunately they forgot to include it and was bummed when I got home. However the salad was really good even without the sauce, and I'll look forward to trying it next time. read more

Super fresh and hot. Made to order. Every fish you can think of!! Try the red snapper and flounder.

We have been 3 times since we found this place while driving by and it has been great each time, love the cod

Worst salad ever. Paid for extra shrimp and got 6 pieces. They also had the tail on..... how do you eat a shrimp salad if you have to pick the shrimp out? read more

Well the food was just okay. Typical Capt D kinda stuff. Nothing special. What was insane is when I arrived in the parking lot a lady was sitting next to me disgustedly going thru her order. She got out and returned the order inside saying it was of course not hers....yup. It was my order that had given her. Allowed her to leave the store and rifle thru the food. Return it and then serve it to the intended customer! Idiotic workers. Not sure if this is a health code violation or not. But I will be reporting it first thing tomorrow morning. read more

I eat here quite often and have great food, excellent service from friendly staff and nothing but a pleasant experience each and everytime.

Overpriced for the demographics. Never gets an order right. Mangers are rude when you call to let them know they messed up your order. If you order 3 sides of the same thing you should get 3 sides not 3 sides mixed into two containers. It's for 3 different people and I don't know their portions sizes so how the hell am I to sort this out? They need to learn how to refund the parts that are wrong because I don't want a credit to a place I will never eat at again! This is the 4th and last time they've screwed up my order. And the food is cold every time I've ordered from there! read more

I just happened to be in the area, drove by and decided to try it. I ordered blackened haddock with Cali vegetables. It was delicious. I'm sure I'll order from here again whenever I'm nearby. read more

If your first experience isn't good, don't expect this establishment to make it right! My wife, Daughter and I went to this location, our first visit. We ate inside and there was only one other person eating inside besides us. We all 3 got combo fish and chicken meals and my wife ordered a side of Mac n cheese and ordered her wings barbecued. Way over 50 bucks for the three of us but ok, let's see how it is. We were handed cups for our drinks and we walked over to the drink machine. Out of 3 different kinds of drinks including Diet Pepsi. I am diabetic so not a good start. Sat down and waited on our food. Food came out, wife's wings weren't barbecued. I started to take them back up to the counter but wife didn't want to wait. Got to looking and no Mac n cheese so again I had to get up and go get the Mac n cheese. Terrible experience. I couldn't enjoy my food because I didn't have anything to drink. So here is the kicker! I complained on their social media page and someone replied and asked me to email the details. I tried to email them to the email address they gave and it wouldn't send. I again complained on their social media page and same person replied and said oh, I gave you the wrong email. So again I tried emailing with a new email address and guess what, it didn't work. So for the third time I complained on their social media page and the same person said hang on, I am going to call the manager. I waited while she called and she then gave me the managers name and phone number and asked if I could call her, that she was expecting my call. I called, talked to the manager and gave her all the details of our visit including the receipt number. Ok, so Manager asked me, what would I like to make it right. I told her, I dont want my money back but would like a food credit for another time. Manager says, oh I can't do that, I can give you a small percentage off but no drinks included. That was probably wise of her because they probably didn't have my drink available anyway! Are you kidding me! So I go back to their social media page and text the person I had spoke to and told her what the manager offered me. Guess what, she blocked me! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! IF THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW THEY ARE PREPARING YOUR FOOD!!! read more
