The Fish Shak - MURRELLS INLET

Goodness gracious, the fried food here is delicious and the owner is one of my most favorite people in the Inlet/Myrtle beach areas. Talk about a local favorite! The kitchen in the truck is immaculate, the oil is always fresh, and the prices are great. The fish (flounder and grouper) is always PERFECTLY lightly fried so it?s still moist, flaky, and falling apart, the shrimp are always plump, and the potato chip fries are to die for! We visit our family that are locals at least once a month and make it a point to eat at this funky little Fish Shak at least once while we are in town. Last time we went my in-laws were celebrating their anniversary. We decided to go to Myrtle Beach for a 2 day trip and because of prior plans we had for Saturday Night?s dinner, we weren?t going to make the Shak in time for close. I messaged the owner and he offered to open for a private party just for us on Sunday! We showed up with balloons in tow, ordered our lemonades, butter beers, drinks, combo plates, shrimp plates, grouper plates and extra chips and we ate at the cute little tiki picnic tables set up in the parking lot. My nephew who is allergic to eggs even got to eat with us because the Fish Shak keeps a gluten and egg-free batter on hand because they ROCK! Even the older members of our family (There were 9 of us total) were happy with their food and they?re hard to please.... Honestly. They require their food to be mouth-burning hot, it has to be brought to the table as soon as it?s ready so it doesn?t have a chance to cool down at all, it can?t be dry, overcooked, or rubbery, and there needs to be LOTS of sauce and napkins. They admittedly have a difficult time finding ?perfection? when they go out to eat and The Fish Shak NAILED it! Eat here! You won?t be disappointed. Promise!

Amazing food! The portion sizes are huge and everything is fresh. It?s all fried in the right way-food isn?t greasy. Fresh, crisp, and delicious. The whole family loved it! We ordered the ?triple play? and I highly recommend it!

We were looking for a quick lunch and found the Fish Shak! The seafood is phenomenal without a doubt. My husband ordered the shrimp salad, an order of chips and the shrimp spring rolls. He loved everything; but, the shrimp spring rolls were his favorite. I ordered the small shrimp basket with a side of sweetcorn hush puppies. The shrimp were so fresh and tender and the hush puppies were spot on some of the best I've ever had. There was only 1 person working the food truck and she did an outstanding job. She was steady busy taking and making orders. There were no complaints by any of the customers and I mean she had a steady flow of customers. Job well done!!

First time visit today after reading reviews and family wanting to come. Was around 10-15 minutes away from our hotel. Honestly, it was fine, but I would not return. My husband and I shared the XL grouper finger basket that comes with homemade chips, dill ranch and remoulade. The fish was hot and fresh, but the breading was just ?. Fine. Nothing particularly tasty or flaky/crispy. It wasn?t bad, just fine. The homemade chips were quite good. The dips were also just fine. Ranch tastes like store bought will dill on top. For sharing, was really more of a snack/very small lunch size. The woman working at the truck was nice. The location is?not great in that the surrounding views are just businesses and parking lots. Overall, would not return of my own accord.

I live in the Inlet and this is my go to shrimp place! Beautiful large shrimp! I love all of the sauces, I suggest you try them all. I was happy these fine folks were happy to honor my special request to not fully cook the potatoes just like my old hometown hangout that were called Raw Fries However I have had them crispy and I love them both way. I 'm not much of a fish eater so I have not tried the fish. If you want to avoid the lines and high of the many other options try The Fish Shak, Great food and nice folks who run the place.
