This place is so good, and so popular. You really will need to be patient about being seated. I don't even think you can make a reservation. They are always so busy. And yet after the first hurricane Helena, and then again after Milton, they still somehow managed to spend the time and energy to help people in need with food, water, and cleaning supplies while dealing with trying to run business as usual. I was so impressed, this time I wasn't there as a customer but as someone in need. And was just very impressed at how much they helped all of us, their community ,while still doing business as usual. Very good people, running a very good business. It is so sad that, that has become as rare as it is now. But I sure appreciate them.

Cute place and I'm glad they reopened. Went down there with a relative and enjoyed their grand reopening. I got the jambalaya soup and it was very delicious and perfectly spicy. My relative got the grouper sandwich and I got the clam sandwich. Both were good, the roll isn't my favorite, but it was a good sandwich.

This place is one of the best places to get seafood in the entire Tampa Bay Area. The staff is always warm, friendly, and extremely helpful. There is only outdoor seating, but this is the perfect place to enjoy a breezy evening, so the atmosphere is perfect for this type of restaurant.The seafood is always fresh. Like really fresh. It has a light batter. It is always fried to perfection. They let the natural sweet taste of the fresh seafood shine through without adding too much batter or seasoning. My go-to favorite is the basa and shrimp combo. I typically get a large so I split it with my partner. The fish is light and flaky. The shrimp is perfect! The combo comes with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce, and both of these sauces are great here.We tried something last night that I never had here before: dessert! We got both a key lime pie and a peanut butter pie. Both were great!This place is absolutely worth the drive to get the best seafood around.

Quaint roadside restaurant. Service is excellent and food is delicious. I had the sampler platter, reminds me of Carolina Calabash. The croquets are delicious.

As an 18 year pescatarian, I am always on the look out for seafood restaurants. I decided to stop by The Fish House on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is a small hut like building with an overhead cover. There are plenty of spaces to park in the large dirt parking lot. But be sure to not come after a car wash. Upon my arrival there were 2 people in line waiting to place their order and 3-4 parties were seated waiting to receive their order. After scanning the menu, I decided to select the Basa & Shrimp Combo which came with two sides. I selected the fries and coleslaw. The total cost of the meal was just over $16. The order came with 4 pieces of fish and 10 shrimp. The fish portions were very small, essentially they equated to 1 or 1 and a quarter pieces of fish in total. The fish was fried decently however, it was as if no seasoning was utilized during the preparation process. I ended up adding 2 or 3 condiments to the fish to add a bit of flavor. It appears that my search continues to find a go-to seafood restaurant.

Friendly staff. Overheard the owner telling her story of how she obtained the shop. Very interesting. Glad I stopped by. Happy to finally find a fish & chips spot that's affordable & good. Hard to find a decent fish spot in the Bay Area (weird)! Food was good. I got the clam chowder and also the fish & shrimp combo w grits. The soup was soooo good. I wish they had a larger size! There is parking & outside bench seating. Friendly environment. I will be a regular.

An amazing staple in the Ruskin and Apollo Beach area. We love the freshness of the products along with the always consistent customer service! You can get pretty much any seafood you're craving at a great and reasonable price here! I have a picture of my whole mullet on my photos but it was soooo good and brought me back to my childhood! The oysters and shrimp was seasoned perfectly so we also appreciated that! If you're in the area, make it a point to stop by and get some great food!

They're back. Stopped for lunch today and loved the new look. The tables were refinished and white shells on the floor. They have bounced back from the hurricane. His catfish sandwich was hot and crispy. My shrimp was perfect. It was hot from the fryer, the fries too. The service was quick and friendly. They know many of their customers by name. You won't be disappointed.

First time we have been able to eat at The Fish House since the hurricanes and it was fabulous . My wife had the fish sandwich and I had the shrimp dinner both were unbelievably good . I'm so glad they were able to recover from the storms . Do yourself a favor and stop by for lunch or dinner .
