BORN TO BE WILD

Mystic Fish Camp is where New England’s coastal charm meets the nostalgia of summer camp, offering a family-friendly, fast-casual take on the traditional fish shack Restaurant. Led by James Beard Award-winning chef David Standridge, our menu evolves with our environment, serving 100% sustainable, local, wild-caught seafood with a fresh twist. 

Inspired by a time when life moved slower and fishermen gathered by the water to share their catch, Mystic Fish Camp blends bold creativity, sustainability, and a sense of community—bringing back the joy of sun-kissed days, adventure, and maybe even a killer pair of tube socks.

ABOUT US

At Mystic Fish Camp, we’ve reimagined the classic New England fish shack for today’s seafood lover. Located in the heart of downtown Mystic, CT—just steps from the iconic Bascule Bridge—our fast-casual, family-friendly restaurant brings the flavors of the coast to life with fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.

From our crispy hand-cut Mermaid Fries and salt & vinegar onion rings to fish and chips made daily from locally caught fish, every dish is a chef-crafted celebration of the bounty of our waters and farms. Inspired by the spirit of old-school fish camps—where fishermen gathered at the water’s edge to share the spoils of the sea—we’ve blended that sense of community with the playful nostalgia of a 1970s summer camp.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter, meeting friends at a window seat, or taking your feast to go by the river, our mission is simple: to serve the best seafood in Mystic, CT with heart, flavor, and a touch of fun.

Come see why both locals and visitors alike call Mystic Fish Camp a must-visit for authentic New England seafood.
