Eating…in Rehoboth Beach, Fins, Fish House & Raw Bar, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches
Not having gone out of the house all day, on Saturday, we decided to take a drive through Rehoboth Ave. I could not believe how crowded it was. It had been a rainy day, but at this time of the evening, the weather had cleared, and visitors were ready to start their evening.
Downtown Rehoboth Beach is a very walkable town; restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues are at close proximity.
We decided to stop at Fins located at 243 Rehoboth Avenue. Tel. 302-226-FIN. Website? www.finsrawbar.com.
We just wanted a few drinks and some of their delicious oysters and clams. It is a full fledge restaurant, but we chose their Bar. It had a cozy atmosphere; crowded. The saying “where everyone is your friend”, fits them perfectly.
Fins has two floors for dining, but, you can also eat at the bar.
It is well known for the seafood, but the restaurant offers beef and chicken dishes from local purveyors, as well. Sandwiches like lobster rolls, po’ boys, crabcakes; and hamburgers, soups you name it. A description of their dishes are found on the website. But, better yet, pay them a visit. They are open 7 days a week for dinner starting at 4:00 p.m. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Fins opens for lunch, as well, from 11:30 until 4:00 p.m.
We came in and immediately decided to check their oyster menu. It changes all the time, with Fins, offering the freshest oysters available. Oysters are inspected right after they have been shucked. No way are you going to get a bad oyster here.
The beer board was up offering also custom crafted beers. To the right you can see percentages of the alcohol level found in each.
A little conversation here or there with some of the patrons…it was time to order some oysters. The first oysters ordered were Blue Points; plump, meaty and sweet.
The next oysters ordered were the White Caps. These oysters were smaller but so delicious. Salty, which is the way we like them.
I decided to go with steamed clams. I love raw oysters but really do enjoy the clams, as well. These clams were so good; small and tasty. More than a dozen were ordered.
Having satisfied our cravings, we decided to go home. It was getting to the point when plenty of diners were arriving. This restaurant is one of those neighborhood restaurants that can mingle their more matured customers with the younger crowd. It really was fun to watch.
Have a great day!!
