We had a nice day out finding sharks teeth found 48 teeth between 10am-1pm. The issue we had were with the food. We looked at both menus and let the kids pick and they wanted sharkys vs Fins. We now know that was a mistake. A large portion of the menu is fried so I asked for grilled or blackened like so many other restaurants around they said they would "try to grill" which was concerning but I figured ok how bad can you really grill shrimp and fish? Well the food came grilled for sure but zero I mean zero seasoning. Alittle salt or pepper would go along way. The shrimp and grouper were flavorless unless you count the chard black chunks left from the grill. On top of that the waiter was extremely pushy. We first sat down and ordered drinks and were asked if we knew what we wanted to eat. We literally just sat down and hadn't even opened a menu. Ordered drinks, she comes back 5 minutes later with dei is and, do you know what you want? Told her to give us a few minutes, 3 minutes later once again the waiter came asking what we wanted. We had not sat down for 10 minutes and been asked 3 times what we wanted to order. With my 3 kids all ordering pizza and me and the wife getting a seafood combo it still took almost and hour to get food afterwards. This was at now about 2:30pm and the place was maybe 1/4 to capacity. Our shrimp, scallops, and grouper were horrible tastes like someone took frozen seafood and just dropped it on a grill. Extremely bland and dry. The kids pizza were the best thing we had. So if you go to sharkys on the pier either to go the Fins resturant upstairs, order only kids meals, or dont eat there at all.
