Delicious; not overly seasoned so you can really taste the natural essence of the food, and as much as I hate butter, when they poured the melted butter over the meal...walahhhhh

The steamed fish was great! You can order for the menu or pick a fish, scallops, clams, muscles, or shrimp and they will steam it for you while you wait. About 10-15 minutes. They also have a variety of fried offerings. A really neat place. Cheap for the amount you get.
