Went on Sunday afternoon was amazed at the taste and quality of the food! My family had the ribs, bang bang shrimp, catfish, and the OXTAILS and everything was served hot and well seasoned. The sides were scrumptious! Will def visit again. The staff were super nice and the chef/cooks even greeted us as well.

Whew!!! This place was AMAZING! I had been trying to get over here a couple of weeks and family decided today we'd head out got lunch and so I suggested the Fish House. Man this food was sooooo good. Two things happened that was unexpected, a couple of customers sat and raved about eating here to the point we had a full blown conversation about how good the food was and church! Second, the owner Mrs Carolyn has put her foot and hand in these recipes. We enjoyed everything she brought out. Might even come be back sooner than expected for the smothered turkey and ox-tails meals. Easily recommend coming here for a good meal or two or three!!! Next door is the raw seafood bar as well. Thanks to everyone including the young men cooking in the back, they were on point today.

I went to lunch with a former co-worker on Thursday July 17. So she suggested the Fish House so I said OK I had never been there before, but when we got there, we were greeted with friendly smiles the customer service was wonderful. We placed our order , sat down and talked, then they bought the food out. I ordered the pork chops with the collard greens and potato salad and I’ll tell you the food was so good the pork chops were so big I could only eat one. The pork chops was fried to perfection the collard greens were seasoned just right, The potato salad was so good. So if you’re ever in the area, please stop in and sit down to some good old soul food cooking. The two chefs were amazing . I was very satisfied I will give them a 10. And I will be going back.
