Best seafood! Unique and very international atmosphere!
Not a restaurant – virtually as it says, a hut or shack, busy preparation goes on in front of your eyes inside the open 'hut', eating at tables and stalls outside, overlooking the ferry landing stages. Freshest seafood you can have at most agreeable prices.
