Wonderful fresh fish. Large portions on large plates. Blackening/cajun is really only a light bronzing. Like a light creole uplift on the fresh-grilled flavor of the fish. Mondays are Cajun Night" dinners start at 4:00 PM. A bargain for only $24.95 you get a cup of soup (crab or chicken), a "small" Caesar salad (you might not finish), an entree from a half dozen choices including scallops, salmon, shrimp, rockfish. We had the massive rockfish, & took half home. It is the "Royal" presentation surrounded by broccoli & fresh-grilled tomatoes. This was a marvelous meal.

Updated 5/19/23: Went again. Waitress Denise (owners list her name as Dennis in their system) was sincerely one of the best waitresses we've ever had. Extremely friendly, funny, caring, engaging, and attentive. We would have enjoyed her company if she sat down to join us!
The food was so delicious and the portions are enormous! I had blackened tilapia, broccoli, and lemon basmati rice. SO good! My wife had the mussels special and a side salad; the huge oval platter was overflowing with mussels, and she loved them.
I can't emphasize enough how you really must try Fisherman's Catch!
*****
Ok. Force yourself to get over the stigma of eating dinner at the bowling alley! Nothing against bowling (I was in a league a time or two in my life). But this restaurant should be in your place to try even WITHOUT bowling. Plenty of parking, handicapped accessible, and I barely heard the crash of bowling pins.
Decor was nice, service was very fast and extremely friendly (thank you Miss Dee!), and the meals my wife and I had were VERY good. And the portions were LARGE.
We started off with Clams Casino. 6 to the plate, good size clams, and they were delicious.
My wife had fried butterfly shrimp with fries and broccoli. The worst thing I can say is that the fries were good. But the shrimp was extremely good, and the broccoli was steamed to perfection... tender, yet enough bite to not fall apart on your fork.
I had a side salad. It was ok. Needed to be spun dry as it was very watery. The balsamic dressing needed salt. Bur my main entrée was incredible. And a HUGE portion. I had blackened tilapia with broccoli. Two huge pieces of tilapia. Seriously, the fish lasted me 3 meals (and I'm a BIG eater). My only disappointment was that there wasn't any kind of rice in the menu, and that seems like the perfect accompaniment to broiled/pan-fried fish. White, brown, pilaf, fried with veggies... some kind of rice is a needed addition to the menu.
So to sum it up: WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND! Try this place. Before ordering for the first time, I initially said to myself that I can't imagine eating meats/ribs here or Italian food as there are plenty of other great Harford County restaurants in that cuisine to choose from. But after seeing the quality and portion sizes with the seafood, I'm eager to go back and try ribs and veal/chicken parm!

Husband ordered a crab cake sandwich even told the guy what he wanted on it, served him just a crab cake. He got our fries app but never the cream of crab. Another waitress got it for us when she served our food. She was great. Him not so much. They did comp us the soup for forgetting it which was appreciated.

Best steamed crab clusters we have had in Maryland. Super fresh. Cooked perfectly!
Yes it’s in a bowling alley. Yes it’s like you stepped back into the 70’s but it’s really good!
The creole chicken was awesome. The crab imperial had a bit too many shell pieces but it was good. And the best part? Great prices!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The bartenders, cook, and qait staff are really friendly and accommodating. The Cajun flounder is sooo delicious. And the roasted tomato bursts with flavor. We also love the wings. Karaoke on Fridays is always good fun. Love this place!!!!
