fish shack

Waterfront catch eatery

A fish shack is a small, casual establishment serving seafood, typically located near water.

The term suggests unpretentious charm—weathered wood, paper plates, picnic tables: We grabbed lobster rolls at a fish shack on the pier.

Fish shacks are associated with coastal towns and fresh, simply prepared seafood rather than fine dining.
