Harbour Bar and Fish House doesn't really roll off the tongue... So, I guess they shortened it. If you're gonna change the name of the joint so people can remember it easier, do it across the board. But you can still find the original name on the sign out front and around the joint. They've changed the name but have the food changed as well? For better or worse... I'm doing this revisit for my one fan.
Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Lump Crab Meat. The dish sounded good but crab pieces got lost in this translation. The FGT were crispy and pretty tasty. They just over dressed this to death with the mayo sauce.
Flash Fried Calamari. Your standard run of the mill brown bag pre-breaded squid rings. They were crispy, though.
Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sandwich. Let's see how much filler they put in this thing... Oh, yeah, A LOT. Not a piece of lump crab meat found in that saw dust patty. It wasn't bad just pretty dry and kinda lacking that ocean flava. The bacon was good, imagine that, bacon tasting good. The apple slaw was decent.
Fish & Chips. Does this specimen look like Fudgie the Whale to anyone... Bueller, Bueller?? The cod piece was quite large and girthy.. That's what she said. Crust was nice and crispy and the fish was flaky but it was unseasoned. The malt vinegar aioli sounded like it would pack a punch of flavors but it was a lackluster jizzery. The apple slaw was ok, needed more vinegar after tasting it again a few minutes later.
Shrimp, Andouille, Grits. The shrimp was ok but the grits were like soup. Seems like the grits had been sitting around all day and then finished off with some broth to refire to order. Pretty nasty grits but a decent seafood stew. Strike that, still a nasty seafood stew. Skip this ebola by product and stick with the fried shit... But no guarantee you still won't bleed out. I sure did. And it wasn't purdy.
The place is not bad, the food is acceptable... I do like their Wednesday crab leg boil special, though (if it's the same as the last time I had it). People still like to play bocce outside in the cold and I still like to make fun of them inside with a stiff cocktail.
