    Coconut Shrimp
    Jordan B.

    We were traveling through Murrells Inlet and based on the reviews, stopped at The Fish Shak for lunch. We were so glad we made the detour. First off, the owner was very personable and accommodating. She made us feel welcome. We got the grouper sliders, the coconut shrimp entree special, and a side of hush puppies. The two entrees came with house made fries/chips hybrid with a creamy dill dipping sauce. The dipping sauce was surprisingly light for something cream based and paired well with the chips and seafood. Everything was fried perfectly and the coconut shrimp were so good, we were surprised that it wasn't a regular item. The hush puppies were some of the best we had. We would definitely recommend The Fish Shak if you are in the area.

    Sometimes the best food is found at a place where few ventures to look. "Next time you're in Murrells Inlet," said my wife, "make sure you hit The Fish Shak." "Where's that?" I asked. "Right down the road from Suck Bang Blow and across the street from the Beaver Bar." That pretty much sums up why I like Murrells Inlet and love my wife. Few of us get this kind of nod from our spouse. And, now you know where to find some of the best fried seafood off the Grand Strand. The Fish Shak is a bright yellow food cart with picnic tables for carry out only. On our recent trip we ordered the Thai Fried Shrimp which sat upon a pile of freshly sliced, then deep fried potatoes. Just dip 'em into the dill ranch sauce provided. Hot, crispy, and damn delicious. The shrimp is nearly naked with just a hint of breading which I prefer. Tender, juicy, and shrimpy like Bubba Gump caught 'em this morning. The sweet Thai chili sauce set the whole thing in motion. Perfect. Give yourself a treat and hit The Fish Shak on your next outing to Murrells Inlet. Blowing all the whistles on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Go here. You know where it is.

    A favorite local spot!!! Holy yum of all yums!!!! Let me tell you!!! I would eat here everyday for the rest of my life if my body fat percentage would allow fried foods to be a staple meal. The frying is done perfectly EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Lightly fried, really crispy, and never burnt. The oil tastes fresh every time, the fish is flaky, the shrimp stay plump, and the thinly sliced potato chips are both bendy and crispy. The owner will also cook for longer if you want because he's that awesome! The kitchen inside the truck is super clean (immaculate, really) and it's absolutely because the owner cleans the kitchen as he cooks. We've seen him do it many times and every time! If you care to read about location and customer service, keep reading: We stumbled across this epic little yellow food truck on our way into Murrell's inlet while visiting family in MB. Actually, to be honest we drove past it the first time, spent an hour driving along the inlet looking for a "seafood place that didn't have a long wait" since there were only a handful open during this Covid debacle and everybody and their momma's were trying to eat at the same sit-down places, and when we gave up and decided to leave the inlet we tried this happy little food truck. Now we don't drive into the inlet ever because our first and last stop is always this ammazing yellow food truck that sits in the parking lot of the bait shop. We sit at the picnic tables under his Tiki Umbrellas and watch the traffic drive by and this moment is easily one of my favorite parts of our visit. When the owner found out my local-living nephew has an egg allergy and couldn't eat any of the fried seafood because of the batter ingredients he uses, he surprised us the next time we stopped by with a new batter option that omits egg. He keeps it on hand for allergies. Whhhhhhat?! Now our whole family can eat together, allergy-kid included because the owner is beyond thoughtful. 10/10 recommend over and over again.

    See all

    Truly a shack, but the shrimp and chips were great. Outside seating, but it was a nice day.
