Went last night with neighbors. All you can eat fish. The bar is right on the lake. The food was delicious . Not fancy but loved looking out at the lake.

If you like fish and chips, JJ Fins on the Dead River, just down 441 South of Leesburg, is great.

We always used to pick one up in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express when we'd stay there. You'll probably spot them in any one of a number of stores, restaurants, etc. - wherever you'd find the small racks with the free booklets, real estate mags, etc.

Is the fish Haddock, Cod or Perch or do they just call it "White Fish?"

Thanks for the info Bill!

I've seen those coupon books but never really looked at them closely.

We went there a few months ago and didn't have a great meal.

If you had great fish and chips at JJ Fins you were lucky. What I had was soggy and tasteless.

Taking you at your word that you will go to either coast:

We recently spent a week in Clearwater Beach On the Gulf Coast (South of Tampa for the newbees). We asked several people where the best seafood was on Clearwater Beach. Got three answers but one was overwhelming the most given.

It is Guppies on the Beach....

Food was Superior, service was great, view was OK but the public park was right across the street if you wanted to walk the beach. First time I had the Dunginess Crab and it was awesome had three more dishes and they were all superior. They have a 3 to 5 special menu that is pretty great. My Crab was under $15 with soup or salad and 2 sides. Nice covered porch on the front with fans. We ate outside every time so didn't see the inside! And even valet service (small parking lot close large one across the street) for a tip. Will DEFINITLY drive to Clearwater frequently to eat here!! Price was reasonable. They also have a varied menu if you are not into seafood, Italian dishes were great too!

We also ate at Crabby Bills on the circle at Pier 60, was ok not really impressed. The other one was in the Mariott and dinner started at about $30 EACH!! :22yikes: Forget that one.
