| - smoky barbeque
a fiesta of fried clams
nourishes the soul
So with continuous openings of new glitzy glammy restaurants in Cleveland, and in particular Ohio City, here's one that is way, way under the radar. Drive south down W. 25th a ways from the redone part north of Lorain, and on the west side of the street, just past the janky Clark intersection, you will find an awesome little seafood/barbeque/latin food storefront.
The Fish Shack does not disappoint. Today I had some fried clams that were absolutely perfect. Crunchy batter, tender clams, solid tartar sauce. The do BBQ meats as well, so I bought a half slab of 10 hour smoked babyback ribs. These simple pleasures are usually all whored up in the fancypants spots, but here, they are simple and delicious.
Only one communal table, but more are on the way. Order at the counter. There was a meatloaf special today. They have frog legs. The place is affiliated with Kate's Fish at the Westside Market. Lots of good things here. Go here.
Carry on...
