"Come magic hour in the summer on Cape May, the best place to be has always been on the aptly named Sunset Beach. But since Fish House opened in August 2024, the best place is now on one of their bar stools in front of the open, oversized window that perfectly frames the scenic shore view. The bright dining room, clad in white wood-trimmed walls and marble-topped tables, is perpetually busy, drawing daytime diners in flip flops and baseball caps for casual breakfast burritos or burgers. We recommend visiting in the early evening, though, for a few snacks—try the smoked fish dip and a cheese board—paired with a bottle of dry rosé." - regan stephens, candis mclean, sydney mcelwee, tonya russell
