Laid-back, shanty-esque joint Fish Tales is the rare waterfront restaurant without high-fallutin' pretense. It's a few blocks south off the beaten path but is worth the short drive. An impressive selection of beers on tap -- Weihenstephaner, Stella Artois, Pilsner Urquell, Killian's and Michelob Light are available, along with Corona, Brahma and Negra Modelo by the bottle. You can have one at the dining tables or go the really tropical route and hit the tiki bar with its rustic decor. The outdoor dining area offers a picturesque view of Bayboro Harbor with its ships and shipyards. If you come by boat, there are a limited number of spots to tie up.
