Fresh seafood in Arizona?!!? You heard that right, this place brings the fresh fish that ex coastal dwellers crave.
Oscar's Pier has a large menu that does fried, back and broiled seafood options. They have local Arizona favorites like catfish but for a New Englander myself, they have the elusive Haddock. Haddock is a white fish that is indigenous to the New England region. The reason I'm mentioning this is because this is one of the only places you can find this in the middle of the desert. This fish is so tasty and getting it fried is the best! Their chowdah is pretty good, has a decent amount of cream and the clams are fresh. I'm super picky when it comes to chowdah but this chowdah has a good homestyle taste!
The prices are the best when it comes to seafood in Arizona. I bought a cup of chowdah with one piece of haddock for less than 8 dollars. Plus unlimited tartar sauce, which is a must when eating seafood. I've had their onion rings before and I loved them! They do the thin style which is what I'm accustomed to back home.
Tons of free parking in the parking lot and its in a good location. The decor is fun, tells a story about the restaurant and the staff are friendly. I love that the owner was working in the front and taking orders, shows he is involved in his business and explained to me where they get their seafood source from. Overall, I love this place, it reminds me of a small seafood shack on the boardwalks in Massachusetts. Enough of me talking, go get some good seafood!
