Reeling 'em in since the tide came in

A fish shack on the working waterfront.

Right on the wharf, where the lobster boats tie up and the gulls run the place. The catch comes off the boat, the ice stays cold, and the oysters get shucked to order β€” that's the whole operation, and it's plenty.

Come as you are, leave smelling faintly of the sea. We wear it like a badge of honor, and after a dozen oysters and a cold one, so will you.

Okay, real talk

The restaurant isn't real. The website is.

You cannot, sadly, eat at Smells Like Fish β€” there is no dock, no boil, no faint oceanic aroma. But everything you just scrolled through is extremely real, and it was built in an afternoon by WebIgniter. We build websites for restaurants that do exist β€” fast, mobile, and ranking on Google.
