Slapfish, a nice little place that serves what I think are amazing pieces of fish. My favorite is the Fish and Chips (Natural-cut fries). It has a great batter coating and it always tastes fresh. The pieces are big and remind of British style fish & chips. I think of that line from the movie Formula 51 when Samuel Jackson says “the fish is battered to death!” well in this case that is a good thing. They also have grilled versions of the dishes.
I also have had the pleasure of tasting the Surf and Turf burger. That is a big burger with flavor and nice chunks of lobster I would like for it to have a little less of the awesome sauce. If you like the sauce then get it.
And lastly I also got the Fish Tacos, surprisingly I really did enjoy them. I did not know what to expect because I have eaten bad fish tacos before. Slapfish got them right in my book. SO, next is the New England Clam Chowder and the Ceviche.
So, remember come hungry, try a little bit of everything if you can and remember it is a small place so get there early they do get a crowd.
I haven’t even finished eating the my Epic Shrimp Burrito and I have to give five stars.
The wait was a little longer than I expect for fast-casual (around 15-20 mins on a Saturday for a to-go order), but overall, the food and menu are amazing!
Good food. I came here late afternoon so it wasnt a long wait. I had the claim chowder soup which was pretty good. I also had the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwich. The sandwich was also good. The edges of the toasted bread was a little harder then I'd prefer but otherwise, everything was delicious!
Visited this place about 1 week ago. The exterior is more inviting than the inside-from outside it appears as if you’re walking into a posh joint where you’d feel out-of-place wearing sweats, but you walk in and it’s your run-of-the-mill diner feel.
I ate both a fish taco and the clam roll. The fish taco was decent-fish was a but dry, but good flavor to the sandwich as a whole. The clam roll let me down. From the description I thought I was about to get something great (I LOVE clams), but the sandwich was literally fried clams between a toasted sub roll (bread was slightly burnt). That’s it-no dressing of any kind, no sauce, although you get a choice of tartar or marinara on the side. I took the tartar, which was less flavorful than a run-of-the-mill store brand.
Finally, the price didn’t match the quality of the food-you guess if it was high or low...
I gave the rating two stars only because of the nice exterior and the cool assortment of drinks available. Add one more star because I haven’t tried everything on the menu.
This restaurant is definitely one of a kind for seafood. Its seafood entries are fabulously delicious. I ordered a $15 lobster sandwich and a $11 seafood burrito. The lobster sandwich is so delicious that I cannot even describe. The seafood burrito is big, has a lot of seafood in it, and is also very delicious. The prices are absolutely reasonable, as far as I am concerned. Also, the wait time is not excessive, and the staffers are very friendly. So the customer service is great! The great part is that I don't have to spend 45 minutes in a regular seafood restaurant like Red Lobster just to have delicious seafood. It is a relatively fast food for delicious seafood that is rarely seen anywhere. This restaurant is indeed one of a kind. I would definitely revisit this restaurant all the time in the future.
