Mister Fish

TLDR: I've been here hundreds of times over the last 25+ years, and they have a phenomenal Mr Fish Sandwich and fried okra. Both always come out sizzling hot, crispy, and perfectly flavored. I now live in California, yet still manage to get a couple of Mr Fish sandwiches in per year - I swing by every time I re-enter town off I-4 or on my way out to the airport .Food: My staples are the Mr Fish sandwich with everything on it (ketchup, mustard, onion, pickle) with lettuce and tomato plus a side of okra. I also like the cheesy grits and cole slaw. They always have made the sandwiches by order so they come out exceptionally hot, fresh, and crispy. The fish is always flakey and light in flavor.Service: They've always been so friendly, welcoming, and laid back. Back in the 1990s and 2000s, there was a different lady who was the owner, and she was so down to earth and sweet. I think it's under new management, and they are just as friendly and reliable.Location/Atmosphere: I love their placement right next to the library with a view of Lake Morton. Back when I was younger, once we wrapped up at the library or museum, we'd swing by for sandwiches and eat them by the lake. A perfect afternoon!

I lived in Lakeland for two years in the early 70's and never knew this place was here.Me & Barby went here after doing the Frank Lloyd Wright tour at Florida Southern College.It's not fancy, you order at the window & take out or they have three outside picnic tables with umbrellas.It's all fried fish but they do have some steamed veggies & wraps.I had the crab bites with fried okra & collards.It was all good & the experience is very unique.I especially liked sitting outside in a sunny warm February Monday Presidents Day.Very tiny parking with only 4 spaces.Great view of Lake Morton.

Friendly people. Quick pickup for our order. It's "a plate of tan food" to quote a friend.Tasty, but obviously the fish, clams, fries, corn fritters, hush puppies, tater tots are from the freezer. This isn't the place for fresh seafood. Beware if you order from their online menu that the prices are avg $4.00 more per item than it says.We were surprised when our 5 lunches came to $80.Order ketchup (didn't come with) & extra sauces ($).

Best fish in Lakeland!I tell people about this place often if fish comes up! If I had to recommend a place for people to try when visiting Lakeland, this place definitely makes the list!

Wow I love this place! We have stopped by multiple times and every time it is great. We have even just stopped for drinks and sides. Everything is fried, but perfectly cooked and with a great batter. Don't let this place scare you by its size. Place an order and enjoy a picnic of great seafood.

Absolutely amazing!! Stop here every day for my lunch break. Great food, and service is awesome! Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend for everyone

Simple local joint with no frills fried fish sandwiches. Sam and I love to stop by after a walk around town.Located across from the Lakeland public library and off of lake Morton it's a perfect place to grab lunch.

Pipping hot food at reasonable cost. Fish and chips with a meal breading the fish an chips were mighty fine. The birds walking around the parking lot are a treat too.

Mister Fish has been in business since the 70's. All the food is good but the large fish sandwich with cheese is the best. Have it the old fashion way which is mustard, onion, pickle and ketchup. To speed things along call in your order!

Best fish sandwich anywhere get it the way it comes don't add or delete anything it's perfect the way it comes!!!!!
