This little place doesn't look like much, but it sure is tasty! The proximity to the water means that all the seafood is as fresh as can be. There's indoor and outdoor dining, and it's casual, so no need to get dressed up.

They've got fish tacos, fried seafood, and other dishes you'd expect to find at a seafood restaurant in Connecticut, but the real star of the show here is their soups.

They have lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, and a tomato-based Rhode Island clam chowder, and they're all superb.
