Hands down the best food we have had in DC. I had the mahi mahi tacos and my date had the crab cake burger. We are visiting from california and almost went down to the wharf for dinner but based on the great reviews we decided to come here instead. Boy arewe glad we did. Not only was the food amazing but the entire staff were friendly and helpful and passionate about theirbusiness. If we lived here we would be regulars. Thanks for the great meal!

I was recommended to eat here by a friend. The same day I decided to give it a try since I love fish. I was greeted the moment I walked in the establishment and that already made me feel a sense of welcomeness. I ordered the Salmon Cheesesteak and I have tosay it was absolutely AMAZING! The very next day I had to return and I ordered the Blue Catfish Tacos which were also 5/5 stars!It is a Black-Owned Restaurant owned by a beautiful family and l without a doubt will be a regular here while also recommendingothers to eat here!

Fantastic food and great experience. We were given a walkthrough of the menu and suggestions for combinations to try. You can't go wrong with any combination, both of our meals were delicious! The owners were fantastic and we love their approaches toeating sustainably. We would visit DC just to eat here!

The food here is extraordinary! I ordered the jerk salmon cheesesteak and 3 crab tacos. Each item was fresh and delicately prepared to be visually stunning (see my pictures?doesn?t that look amazing). The jerk salmon cheesesteak was phenomenal! Thejerk sauce added some heat and the salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. The crab tacos were perfectly seasoned and had amazingflavor. Do not sleep on FishScale! I will never forget my first visit here.
