Where to now go for the best fried fish?
I really loved Orange Blossum and am now in a quandary on where to go on Fridays for fried fish.

You can't go wrong with O'Shea's Irish Pub for their fish'n chips, or if you find yourself in Ocala, the Ocala Ale House for their fish'n chips. Closer to home, you've got the Lighthouse--where everything is fried!

I think Hacienda Hills CC has nice lightly battered fried fish on Friday nites. All you can eat fish, fries and either slaw or salad is $10.99. It is very good. We go often.

Try the "stowaway shrimp" appetizer. Very large and numerous steamed shrimp, peel and eat.

These are at Lighthouse. Not fried.

the pub at fiesta bowl has buy one get one free fish. blackened or fried with choice of two of six sides. fried is not greasy. tierra del sol has fish and chips which are good, or all you can eat which is good also.

For starters, OBH was never the best place for a fish fry. Actually, not even close. Some of the other responses, ie., Sam's St John's may be the worst Seafood joint I've ever been to. Hacienda Hills to my experience may use prefabricated fish.

In TV, Lighthouse is an order of magnitude above the rest. You'd only know this if you have ever had a FF in the Northeast.

Been to Lighthouse and was not impressed. Red Lobster is better.

I had fried fish and chips at RJ Gators and thought it was excellent.
