Nautical decor that stops short of kitsch anchors this seafood restaurant on the Southwest waterfront, where the patio looks straight out over the marina. The menu pulls from Chesapeake waters and a D.C. urban fish farm, so northern puffer fish arrives whole and crispy fried, and a Maryland crab crumpet nods to the place's Scottish sister spot. Save room for the Virginia peanut tiramisu, which sounds like a dare and tastes like a good idea.

Catfish sandwich
“Fried sugar toads (tiny pufferfish), grilled Maryland oysters, a juicy smash burger with comeback sauce, and an expertly fried catfish sandwich are standouts, and don’t skip creamy tiramisu with Virginia peanut brittle.”
Washingtonian, 2026 -

Maryland crab crumpet
“The Maryland crab crumpet perfectly illustrates that across-the-pond connection and is a perfect opener.”
