The Fish Fry
The last notable place to eat on our list is the Fish Fry in George Town. If you are staying at Hideaways or any of the other nearby resorts, the Fish Fry is close enough for you to walk over to if you are looking for a little bit of exercise. The Fish Fry is a local and tourist favourite, offering a multitude of fish fry stalls full of food and drinks. Some of the stalls you will find are Aces, Big 12 Sports Bar, Charlie’s Restaurant and Bar, Honey Dew, The Out Deck, and Tino’s Deck. We highly recommend Shirley’s for the grouper fingers and Charlie’s for Karaoke. Choose one or hop around and check them all out!
