Our party of two arrived at peak dinner time when it was packed and very lively, and sat at the bar to avoid the hourlong wait. We were served right away, which was nice. However, there is plenty of space for folks to drink and relax in the meantime. Comfortable lounge areas include some fun seating options (like hammocks), and a merchandise counter sells stickers, clothing, etc. Though, conversation is frequently interrupted by the hostess over the loudspeaker calling for parties when their tables are ready. They should leverage a buzzer alert system instead. The Banana Daiquiri was tasty, though not made with fresh bananas (only banana liqueur). I recommend asking for whipped cream, though that should be a standard topping on all the daiquiris. The Blackberry Lemonade was also good, but not the best I’ve ever had; a nice touch would be muddling in fresh blackberries. I do NOT recommend the frog legs. They are extremely bony and chewier than chicken. The mussels were fine but small; I enjoyed the ciabatta bread and garlic butter more. I had my orange roughy blackened, and it tasted good in the wrap. While I liked the peach glaze, I found it a bit too spicy for my personal preference. My boyfriend enjoyed his Blackened Mahi Reuben, though I wasn’t a fan; I found it to be an incompatible blending of flavors. I also don’t love that the entrees aren’t served with a side of fries. That’s pretty standard in American cuisine, and when a customer is paying a bit more for seafood, their meal should absolutely come with a decent side rather than a small bag of chips. All that said, we still enjoyed our time here. The vibes and views are great.

Fish tales is one of my favorite restaurants whenever I visit Ocean City. I normally go for lunch in the afternoon after a beach day or a day ar Seacrets.
My favorite dish is the bowl with mahi but there are many other tasty options like the seafood bake. Don’t expect cheap prices. A bowl is around $26 but it’s worth it.
Staff is friendly, there’s plenty of free parking at their huge parking lot, many outdoor seating and a nice view of the marina.

Came with a couple of my buddies for a nice lunch on a rainy day. Food was pretty good with pretty good portion sizes. Atmosphere was nice decoration was cool and liked how it was all basically outside. Only problem was I wish they had let us split our checks
