After spending the day catching some rays on the beach we wanted a fun meal so off we went to eat in the sand on the bay. Fish Tales is set in the center of Ocean City's sport fishing headquarters. The offer something for everyone- they have a kids play area, drink specials and food. Be ready to wait however: we got there around 7ish and had a hour and 45 minute wait till it was our turn to sit- but the view, food and atmosphere is worth it.

I had the SEAFOOD BURRITO ($14.99)- 
combination of shrimp, crab, scallops, and cheddar cheese stuffed into a warm sun-dried tomato tortilla, topped with a mild enchilada sauce and sour cream on the side. Served with a chilled black bean and corn salsa on the side. It was very good however it was a bit on the dry side. The taste was good and there was lots of crabmeat. I do feel they could add more of the other seafood. The salsa my favorite salsa and was sweat- but it was average.

My Husband had the ROCK & ROLL DINNER ($18.99)- a large rockfish filet fried to perfection. Accompanied by garlic roasted potatoes and corn on the cob. The fish wasn’t overly fishy or strong and the potatoes had perfect seasoning. The filet was huge.

The 14-year-old had CHEESEBURGER ($8.99)-
8oz. of char-grilled, prime Angus beef, cooked as you like it, with cheese. The burger came perfectly cooked at medium-well as she ordered it and was huge.

I saw the JUMBO STUFFED SHRIMP ($24.99)- colossal shrimp stuffed in to a bread bowl with our own house blend of shrimp and crab dip topped with cheddar cheese and baked to perfection. Served with fresh veggies and garlic roasted potatoes. The presentation was great and looked wonderful! Next time I want tot try this!

Overall, the food was average but I will be heading back to wiggle my toes in the sand and watch the boats. They also have an extensive drink menu.

I've been here and was impressed with the kid area. And, as you mentioned, the drink menu. It's not bad for beach fare. We head to O.C. in late August and we'll definitely hit this place.

I'm heading to OC in a few weeks with my hub and three kids (ages 8-13) and was trying to decide about where to eat. Might check this place out!
