My husband and I visited Fish Bites based on reviews and I am sure glad we did! Drinks were strong (always a plus when you're paying close to $6 per drink) decor bright and cheerful and the service was excellent. We started off with their Shrimp Bomb appetizers which were awesome. My husband had blackened swordfish tacos and I had... More

This was much improved from our last visit. The soft shell crab was good. Fried clams were fresg and the fried oysters on a ceaser salad was great. The crab dip was good but needed a little more season. I would recomend fishbites

We had read all the great reviews about Fish Bites and couldn't wait to go. Loved the atmosphere and staff, but the food lacked the flavor we were expecting. We ordered broiled flounder and shrimp and not fried food. We thought it seemed bland and could have used more seasoning. If you read this review, don't give up on Fish... More

You would never expect what you get when you walk into this resturant. You would think it would be your typical strip mall resturant but it is so cool inside. The decor and environment is like a little get away and to top it off the food is really great too!! The fried flounder basket is some of the best... More

My wife and I went there yesterday - when you go to the beach you have to get fresh seafood - it is like a law or something. The special yesterday was grouper with asparagus and lemon sage rice. My wife had it and was very pleased with it. The grouper was a nice large portion and it was prepared... More

We found this place through word of mouth and absolutely fell in love. Staff is amazing, food is fresh and on point, and great atmosphere. Only down side is it's small, so you will need to get there early.

Do not let the outside appearance fool you. Cute decor inside. Yes, you will wait on a table, but it is worth it. Food was fresh and great. We were staying in Wilmington, but this place was worth the drive. One suggestions was the chicken fingers on kids menu looked over-cooked and our 3 kids wouldn't touch them.

We have only been here once for some unknown reason but we will be back again soon. We sat at the bar to have dinner, a favorite thing for us to do. Niki, the bartender took good care of us. Had the lobster Bisque and Calamari, my husband had the Seafood Ravioli plus several drinks. Great atmosphere, good food, excellent... More
