What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food visited Fish Tales, a waterfront bar and restaurant on the Assawoman Bay in Ocean City, Maryland, in an episode that aired 2019-10-22. Per the business's own website, Fish Tales opened in 1983 as a local hangout and has since grown into a boardwalk-adjacent destination known for its dock bar, tiki-lit outdoor seating, and a menu of casual seafood, sandwiches and daily specials. The site describes an enclosed pirate-ship playground for children and an on-site arcade, alongside happy-hour drink and food specials Monday through Friday.

Fish Tales sits at Bahia Marina on 22nd Street, where charter boats dock and staff clean the day's catch for guests to watch. The business's own website, copyrighted 2026, lists current hours of 11 a.m. to midnight daily and the same 22nd Street bayside address, and a Yelp listing updated September 2026 shows continued customer activity at the location.
