    Love this place! Basing that this is a straightforward neighborhood fish fry. I've been coming to Fish King for a couple of years now. It's one of my stops when I visit from Portland as well. This is definitely not a fancy place, but you will get full! It never disappoints. Then again, I never have gotten the snapper, which seems to be the point of contention amongst reviews. I stick to my shrimp, fish, and oysters. The portions are generous and I simply love their cornmeal coating. Makes the Southern part of me flutter. It's always tasty, and I am always full by the time I finish my meal. If I finish that is. The portions are generous, I always have leftovers. Plus all the folks who work there are super nice! Be sure to check them out and support local!

    Fish King is a neighborhood staple. I've been coming here for years. I would love to give them a five star review but a four star review is most accurate, overall. They hit way more than they miss. Sometimes it taste like the grease wasn't changed or they may fry your food too hard but not enough to leave a bad review or to never go back. The portions used to be more than the menu specified. They used to always throw in a extra piece or two. Now they're portions are exact and I think they cut their fish pieces to make them stretch. I can't say that I blame them because inflation is real. Even with that being the case you still get your money's worth. Make no mistake about it, when they hit THEY HIT! They have this frying thing down to a science. I love a good crunch and they give it to me every time. You will always see the same faces when you visit them. Always cool, friendly and accommodating. The location is convenient if you have to do laundry or buy hair supplies because they're in the same lot as a laundromat and a beauty supply store. Parking can get tight inside the parking lot but there's plenty of street parking as well. The inside is small. Not really ideal for indoor dining but there are some chairs and a table or two. All in all, if your not afraid of the hood pay them a visit
