Fins Ale House & Raw Bar

Fins Ale House & Raw Bar in Selbyville is one of my favorite spots. The oysters are fresh, the seafood is always cooked perfectly, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed with plenty of drink choices. Service has always been friendly and attentive. A great place to go with family or friends for consistently good food.

I highly recommend this place when coming to Ocean City, it has great food! One of my crabcakes was a little salty, lacked lump, and tasted like baywater, but the other had good lump meat and tasted great. The shrimp were good, and the scallops were amazing. My mashed potato and sweet potato fry sides were awesome, too. Two people who ordered salads were disappointed, though. Another party member got broiled rockfish and it was really good. This place also has the best calamari I have ever had. Squid is typically chewy but this was not, which was pleasantly surprising. I've never had it so good!

Someone at our table had their food delayed because risotto needed a new batch made and some of us finished our meals before they got their food, but they took that meal off the bill which was incredibly generous of the staff. They clearly care about their customers. The risotto was great, too! The wait was worth it.

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 their money.
