Mystic Fish Camp is a retro, camp-inspired seafood shack from James Beard Award-winning Chef David Standridge and the team behind The Shipwright’s Daughter, and the fast-casual concept is set to open in Connecticut soon. Inspired by old-school New England fish shacks, Mystic Fish Camp brings a refreshingly analog experience to a digital world.
On the menu, seafood lovers will find local, wild-caught species that are often overlooked. In a press release, Mystic Fish Camp shared, “Bycatch like dogfish and monkfish are underdog ingredients that deserve their moment. Monkfish, often called ‘the poor man’s lobster, is a sustainable alternative to lobster, whose populations are under pressure.” Additionally, guests can expect tartare bowls made with yellowfin tuna and sugar kelp salad, and fried oysters with togarashi aioli.
