    So i went to this place today for lunch.
    OMG, i was truly impressed. This is by far probably the 2nd best fish sandwich I've had anywhere hands down. I picked up the super jimy sub, which had fish and shrimp on it and it was DELICIOUS!!!
    Also picked up a small cup of the clam chowdah too and that was also great.
    Another customer recommended the cakes they have there. May have to come back tomorrow for that.
    Great prices here too!! Well worth it, especially in the DC area.
    If i could give it 10 Stars, i would.

    EVERYTHING IS FRIED!
    KEEP THE YELLOW TICKET THEY GIVE YOU!

    Be prepared to wait in line to order, due to popularity, and also wait around 10 mins for your food to be ready! Everything is made to order!

    This is actually owned by the Evan's Brothers, but it's called "Captain White's" even though Evan's Brother's is on the receipt. I think they own all the markets in this little wharf corner.

    They're the only food stand of the few in the area that have the portions and selection (Red Snapper, Scallops, Founder, Whitefish, etc) of cooked food, and full meals, while the others mostly just sell steamed Crabs and Shrimp.

    These guys have some of the best fried Red Snapper I've ever had.
    Their Shrimp are very large, almost jumbo, and they're butterflied before they're fried.
    Their Hush Puppies are the size of cue balls!
    Amazing Homemade Strawberry Lemonade!

    If you're near The Wharf and want to eat a quick fried seafood meal by the water, that beats the hell out of Long John Silvers, with a walk up style vibe, I highly recommend grabbing some to go! I got back to my hotel 20 minutes later and everything was still steaming hot! Very impressed with this little find!

    Only reason for the 4 stars was because of the wait from walk up to departure is just too long due to popularity and made to order, and even then my crab cake, though delicious and huge for the $6 price, but under cooked and kinda just fell apart. Other than that, I would totally recommend this place, just ask for your crab cakes to be a little crispier.

    One of the best clam chowders in town. Very fresh seafoods as it comes directly from the fish market. Good price and good food. The combo is shareable between 2 people. Our bill was just about a little over 20$ yet we still can’t finish it.

    Trout and Red snapper are good ones! Haven’t tried the crab cake but that’s my next
