FINS Ale House & Raw Bar — Restaurant in Bethany Beach

1/1/2025 sadly we sat at the bar and left. How could you not have any Budweiser??? Told the Bar attendant we were leaving and he was shocked since it was due to not having Budweiser . He said we have Bud Light??? Well when you’ve been diagnosed with cancer and don’t get to go out much anymore. having the beer you like is important!

6-29-2024 Service was good sitting at the bar, thank you James, and food was ok. The place was pretty empty about 2:45 and still when we left. The Seafood Bake could have used some lump crab in the dish instead of mushed crabmeat, especially for the price, but did have a good taste. The fried green tomatoes were good as was the sauce served over beans. Corn & cilantro. I’d prefer less batter, more tomato. The blacked salmon over cheese tortellini with a nice flavored tomato cream sauce and it was was DELICIOUS . I omitted the corn but they omitted the peas that were supposed to be in it. Oops! I was ok with that. Good deal for this lunch special. Prices are a little high for a few menu items. We don’t normally venture near the beach in the summer but took our chances today.

4-22-23 Thanks Tony!! Delicious Raw oysters. The seafood pasta was so full of seafood and the sauce was great. The sweet red peppers were super tasty. Seafood Bake yummy! Every bite was so good and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. We had enough leftovers for dinner again. Once again outstanding! We will return before the summer crowds.

March 2023- AMAZING ! Thank you Liz! The raw oysters were the best I’ve had in a while, the blackened rockfish was perfect. The seafood broil was good. As locals, In these cold winter months, we...

Fins had been one of our favorite places to dine. The food and service are usually fantastic and we live close, so we come by ourselves, with family, and with friends. Unfortunately this last visit was not stellar. We only ordered carryout and one of our favorite orders is the salmon blt. It is usually made with a generous piece of salmon and is delicious. When we got home we literally could not even see or find the salmon on the sandwich. It was buried under sauce and bacon - it would not even fill half of the sandwich - we literally thought they had left it off. We took it back and asked for it remade. The manager actually chided us and said that it was a 5 oz piece (looked like 3 oz) and it should have been cut in half and spread across the bread. He said they would remake it this time but they would not do it again. Even worse, he acknowledged that we come often and have gotten it before - which simply means that we know how the sandwich has been prepared prior vs the one we received today, with one piece of whole fish, never cut or spread across the bread. What a disgrace to a usually fantastic restaurant. Due to the lack of respect for our patronage will be taking a hiatus from this restaurant. There are too many other quality restaurant choices in the surrounding area. Even with this review, I would suggest going and hope that better management and service will give you a better experience than this one. Customers deserve Fins usual quality food and service for...

We started the meal off by ordering a Caesar salad and calamari. The calamari was very tender and cooked well, but the dipping sauces left a little to be desired. The sour cream and horseradish sauce was more bland than I expected it to be. The Caesar salad tasted great, but they included the heart of the romaine. I couldn't finish the salad because it had some grit in it. Next, we ordered cioppino, softshell crabs with broccolini, scallop risotto. The cioppino had a very rich broth and the seafood was cooked very well. The softshell crabs were ordered sauteed. They were prepared in a dredge of garlic, butter, and lemon and were cooked to perfection. The broccolini was very tender and cooked well. I also order a side of mac & cheese. It was very rich, but a little lacking in flavor. The scallop risotto was amazing. The scallops were perfectly seared on each side and super tender and rich. The risotto was cooked perfectly and had bits of corn and shaved carrots to add texture. For dessert, my wife ordered the lemon twist. It is a lemon cake with a layer of raspberry filling. It was delicious. It had a very strong lemon flavor and was very tender. The staff was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and will be...
