Happy Campers Have Arrived

Tucked into downtown Mystic just steps from the iconic Bascule Bridge, Mystic Fish Camp brings the fish shack back to life with a playful, 1970s-summer-camp twist. Grab a window seat, pull up to the counter, or take your feast down to the river — this is New England coastal dining the way it used to feel.

This is just a fun, fantastic stop with really great new renditions on old seafood classics with sustainability kept in mind. First off - food flavor and preparation is fantastic. This is casual dining, but you’ll find a wide range of things to try. Our group had the fish patty sandwich (made with ling on date of ... visit), hot poor man’s lobster roll and clam strips. We got fries with all. The fries are fresh made strong, with a salty spicy seasoning on them. Malt vinegar is available on all tables. Everyone raves about their food and portions were generous. A variety of beverages are available, along with some frozen ones. Dessert looks fantastic (dark chocolate s’more), but we were too full to try. The ambience is embracing a kitschy, 80’s Oceanside summer camp theme. Staff are friendly, efficient and happy to help you decide on a dinner option. We’ll be back. Often. Maybe for a takeout park meal in the summer as seating is limited, but it will be worth it. Read More

Food here is amazing! Very well-prepared dishes and the staff is great with explaining the options. The poor man's lobster rolls (made with monkfish) are so delicious and worth traveling for. We also really enjoy the house-made chips and fries too.

So good! We’ve been meaning to try this spot for a while since we love The Shipwright’s Daughter. As a vegetarian, I was able to the get the mushroom and beet burger, which was a 10/10. Super flavorful and juicy! My boyfriend got the fish and chips, which is one of his favorite meals, and this one was top tier. The ... fish of the day was fluke, and he said it was very flavorful. Very well seasoned, great batter, good crunch without being too heavy. He just wishes he had one more good bite. Great vibe, great service, great branding, can’t wait to come back and get some merch too! Read More
