About Us
About OurFish House
Calico is an oceanfront diner / a seafood chophouse celebrating all things land and sea - A study of local produce, meat, seafood, and shellfish.
The flavors in all of our dishes stem from our specialty brines and seasonings. The menu is a “best of” chef gruel’s dishes from the past 2 decades of cooking all over America - from burgers to chops and oysters to the perfect fish sandwich.
At Calico, we commit to helping those in need of a meal as well as our military men and women, past and present. All active military eat for free and vets only pay the raw cost (roughly 50% off).
“Memorable food should be hands-on, approachable, and affordable.”
