Fly In For Seafood

Anywhere in the vicinity... stop in here for fuel and fish. They'll give you a short ride into town to eat at Barbara Jeans Restaurant. Unbelievable value... you'll have to recheck your weight and balance after doing lunch at this place. They also have cheap self service fuel. Highly recommended.
