WAY MORE THAN A SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
Welcome to Ford’s Fish Shack, home of the Wicked Pissah Oysters, fresh-off-the-hook seafood, and some of the best dining you will ever find in Northern Virginia (although we are a bit biased). If you are new to Ford’s Fish Shack, we’d love to introduce ourselves, and we invite you to read our story to understand who we are and what we do. However, if you are familiar with us, take a look around and settle in: You are at home here! Whomever you are, and wherever you’re from, we are so glad you are thinking about visiting and we hope to see you or serve you soon!
