Delicious food and generous portions I was very pleased to stumble on this restaurant when taking a friend to Liberty Taxes in the same shopping center IT'S a must for you to visit if in area
This is a hidden gem in Fresno providing fresh seafood cooked in various ways. I was curious about the tempura fish based other Yelpers. I was glad to have it as wasn’t doughy tempura, it was like breaded or crusted crispy fish. It wasn’t oily or anything. My mother opted for the cornmeal style of fish. I love cornmeal but figured we would swap. The cornmeal was great too! I would probably ask for it to be fried a little harder, but that’s MY preference. Both baskets were beautifully prepared. The young man who helped me was very polite. We held a great conversation which made me feel even more comfortable about frequenting their establishment. They do not have places to eat. It’s a place to call in or walk in and order their food. They also sell items like fish fry mix and other seafood related products. It’s situated in a small shopping center, but I wouldn’t pass them up! I’m looking forward to my next visit!
The best spicy fried fish tilapia.
Food here is excellent !! My go to is salt & pepper fish n chips, it’s to die for. Fish is plump & flakey. The portions are huge!! Don’t let the outside fool you, inside they are making the best fried seafood.
Wow... I was supper impressed!! 2 's up. Called ahead and they said it was ganna be 15 min. But it only took them 10. It was hot fresh and soooo delicious. I ordered 6pc fried fish n chips and there was so much food they couldn't even close the box, lol well worth the price and time.. if you get a chance and want some seafood, go here! You won't be disappointed im from out of town but next time we come back I will be gettin this again.
It's a take out type place. Very friendly service and quick. Food was delicious
This restaurant has the best fish in Fresno! Its PERFECTLY SEASONED! Its ALWAYS FRESH! Portions are PERFECT! The Cole slaw is not the best.(Sorry S.I.S. but it's true.) The tartar Sauce tastes like mayonnaise with a few little pieces of relish...not very good. (Sorry again S.I.S.) But the fish is do scrumptious and delicious that I keep forgetting to take a picture of my plate! You have got to try this place! I'm hooked!
Without a doubt this is the very best “to go seafood” on the planet! It’s always fresh & even stays crispy the next day after warming!
