Harpoon Hanna's is the big bayfront fish house at the end of Harpoon Road. It has run 365 days a year since 1983. Restaurant Business magazine once ranked it no. 78 among the country's top 100 independent restaurants. It is not a crab house and steams no blue crabs. But both of Fenwick Island's actual crab houses have closed. Its broiled crab cakes and cream of crab soup are what the town has left. Tables inside and out look straight at the bay. Customers who arrive by boat dock free. The bar runs until 1 a.m. Reviewers split between people who come for the sunset and people who call the kitchen inconsistent for the price.
