The Fish Shak

Thank you for the great conversations, service, and presentation of food.
You guys definitely have my support and keep doing the work.

I got fish XL, and it's definitely satisfying my taste buds.

Goodness gracious, the fried food here is delicious and the owner is one of my most favorite people in the Inlet/Myrtle beach areas. Talk about a local favorite! The kitchen in the truck is immaculate, the oil is always fresh, and the prices are great. The fish (flounder and grouper) is always PERFECTLY lightly fried so it’s still moist, flaky, and falling apart, the shrimp are always plump, and the potato chip fries are to die for! We visit our family that are locals at least once a month and make it a point to eat at this funky little Fish Shak at least once while we are in town. Last time we went my in-laws were celebrating their anniversary. We decided to go to Myrtle Beach for a 2 day trip and because of prior plans we had for Saturday Night’s dinner, we weren’t going to make the Shak in time for close. I messaged the owner and he offered to open for a private party just for us on Sunday! We showed up with balloons in tow, ordered our lemonades, butter beers, drinks, combo plates, shrimp plates, grouper plates and extra chips and we ate at the cute little tiki picnic tables set up in the parking lot. My nephew who is allergic to eggs even got to eat with us because the Fish Shak keeps a gluten and egg-free batter on hand because they ROCK! Even the older members of our family (There were 9 of us total) were happy with their food and they’re hard to please.... Honestly. They require their food to be mouth-burning hot, it has to be brought to the table as soon as it’s ready so it doesn’t have a chance to cool down at all, it can’t be dry, overcooked, or rubbery, and there needs to be LOTS of sauce and napkins. They admittedly have a difficult time finding “perfection” when they go out to eat and The Fish Shak NAILED it! Eat here! You won’t be disappointed. Promise!

I have eaten here weekly since it opened under new management and without fail every meal has been outstanding. I've tried everything on the menu except have yet to try the tacos. The batter is perfect not greasy and complements the fish or the shrimp perfectly. The fried potatoes, sometimes called Pub Chips, are equally impressive. I suggest you try them with the dill ranch sauce. The food is cooked to order so be careful because when it's served it is hot. Looking forward to cooler weather and their soup offerings.
