Always a pleasure and delicious meal at Great American Fish Company! Besides the great service you will receive. This time it was Cassandra who was welcoming, smiling and really kind, even though they were slammed busy. Then I had Ms. Ashley who was my server and besides being right on point with her helping with decisions, she was just a delight! Both of them, Cassandra and Ashley are exact reasons I will be returning and continue to spend my money for excellent customer service and a meal! Now, the meal.....ohhh my! Every time I come, I get the calamari steak and a side of fried prawns, of course the cup of clam chowder and it is always too much but worth every bite and bit of uncomfortable fullness! Lolllll The calamari steak is giant and cooked in a light panko crumb....I’m drooling again right now! The views are phenomenal and you can also watch the chefs prepare your food through the windows. It’s a great restaurant with amazing decor, staff and food! Thank you Cassandra and Ashley and the chefs behind the scenes! Mr. Vido and I will be back.

So, if anyone has been a tourist to a seaside restaurant knows, food sucks and is over priced, not this place, I promise. We really wanted clam chowder and there were so many options when looking around so we settled on this one just because! The Cajun shrimp tacos were superb and perfectly done, shrimps were large and cooked well without being rubbery. The portions were huge and the fries were delicious. The clam chowder bread bowl was solid and delicious, the bread bowl was excellent, crunchy crust without being super thick, and full of flavor. The soup itself was very solid just missing a certain flavor that I can’t put my taste buds on, but I would definitely order it again. It had lots of clam chunks and was very nice and creamy.

Always a lovely lunch. Had the cajun shrimp tacos with rice pilaf. Everything was excellent. My husband's classic burger cooked as he liked it and really good french fries. We love the purple cabbage slaw.

This was a really great seafood joint right on the Marina water with a view of Morro rock, very, very cool staff. Great menu selection items and the food was way off the chart topped by maybe one of the best views on the planet with lots of wildlife in the ocean like seals and otters and sea lions. Boats and party people, right amongst all the cool shops, within walking distance of tons of hotels and shops and things to do. It got a grade A plus plus, And This entire area is very , very dog friendly, Oh yeah, and did I mention the view? And the sunset? that's worth coming almost as much as the food is.
