You’ll know you’re at one of the most fun seafood shacks in Delaware as soon as you pull in.

Trip Advisor / Elle H. The restaurant is decked out with quirky sea-themed decorations. The gigantic mermaid on the wall inside is a favorite of mine!

Inside, you’ll find more eccentric decorations, and the traditional seafood scene.

The views may not be oceanside, but the marsh-facing restaurant catches some incredible sunsets.
