The atmosphere is exactly what I would want to have when I'm at the beach , a shaded area overlooking the water, and a breeze as I enjoy great food. Dixie Fish Company did not disappoint. I would go back again definitely. Filled star Filled star Filled star Filled star Filled star Paul B Tripadvisor Great place for Yucatán Shrimp Really good place right on the water.
