SoDel Concepts plans to open new Matt’s Fish Camp Fenwick

Third location for popular seafood/coastal comfort eatery
March 18, 2021

SoDel Concepts President Scott Kammerer announced the plan to open the company’s newest restaurant, Matt’s Fish Camp Fenwick, in the former location of Ropewalk Fenwick Island, 700 Coastal Highway.

This will be the third Matt’s Fish Camp location. The concept has become a favorite of locals and visitors to the Delaware beaches over the past nine years with a simple menu that focuses on fresh local seafood and coastal comfort classics.

The owners of Ropewalk, who enjoyed many years of success at the Fenwick location, will continue to operate the popular restaurant chain in their Ocean City, Chincoteague, Baltimore and Bethany locations.

The menu at Matt’s Fish Camp Fenwick will emulate that of the other Matt's Fish Camp locations with favorites like colossal crab cakes and lobster rolls, but will also feature some chef-inspired dishes available only at the Fenwick location. The emphasis will remain on creating beautiful, simple food using fresh, local ingredients.

Kammerer said, “We are really excited about this opportunity as a company. With this new restaurant, we can continue to pay tribute to our founder Matt Haley, the restaurant’s namesake, and serve great food in a beautiful space along Delaware’s coast. We will be open year-round, and will offer indoor and outdoor dining.”
