Food was amazing! Location is decent. Service was decent though we waited often for drink refills and such. So, it was our last night in town and we've eaten seafood almost every night. Had a few family members meet us and I found Old Fish House on the good ol Yelp! machine and we're glad we did. Located in a strip mall it's got a bayou kind of flair inside and while in a strip mall, it's close enough to hit up Ron Jon's and some other attractions so you can walk off your meal! We had some frog legs, fried mushrooms, fish, and crab legs. The frog legs were sautéed and really light tasting and the garlic butter was delicious to dip the mushrooms in. Speaking of mushrooms, they come with that gooood ranch! You know the kind, thick as pancake batter; that goooodddddd ranch! Mom enjoyed her fish and crab legs did taste fresh. Sweet enough to eat without dipping in butter. We waited a bit for food and drink refills but our server was pleasant and no huge issues. The inside is a bit cramped but even on a Friday night, you didn't feel like you were bumping elbows. If you want solid seafood, check out the Old Fish House. If you want waterfront, look elsewhere but you won't go home hungry eating here! read more

After a long drive I needed dinner within walking distance of my hotel and this met my requirements. Neighborhood storefront with friendly service. Nice selection of draft beers. I opted for fried shrimp and clams with Caesar salad and Cole slaw. Salad was delicious. Shrimp tasted like they were just caught. Clams were ok. Served with a variety of sauces. Very nice! read more

The fish is 5 stars. No tartar sauce needed or even wanted on this beer battered fish. The restaurant leans more towards a dive bar vibe. We were nervous when we went in because of that. The bartender also waits tables. She was nice but yells across the room to check on you. The fish is THAT good, pretty much everything else doesn't matter. I even yelled my answer back. LOL! Actually, the fish made me not care about anything. read more

This was our 4th visit and the experience has always been positive. There are numerous reviews that complain about the service but our server Rafael, from Switzerland was great and managed the whole dining room himself. The food is always well prepared and reasonably priced. The decor could use a freshening up but times are tough for small businesses and profits keep getting thinner. It most definitely worth a visit when you're in Cocoa Beach read more

Way better than expected. We were looking for a local place with great seafood and we found it. Everything was really good. Our group had catfish, tilapia, mahi mahi, shrimp, corn fritters, and hush puppies. All were superb and the service was great. read more

I found this place by looking up fried mushrooms in the area, and I'm glad this is the restaurant we picked. The fried mushrooms were great. They were not like usual fried mushrooms I've had. These were beer battered and bigger, meatier mushrooms. I recommend trying them. I also recommend the mahi mahi sandwich. It was cooked well, and the fish tasted great. I also recommend the crab cake, but not as a sandwich. I got the sandwich, and I would have just preferred the crab cake without the bread. It was just too heavy feeling with the bread. The coleslaw is ok, and the pickle was soggy, but it didn't break the meal for me. The service was great. Our server checked on us plenty of times and was very friendly. Other regulars at the restaurant were also friendly, giving us recommendations. I enjoyed the ambiance, and I recommend this spot for fried mushrooms and seafood options! read more

We've been going here for years! The fish is so fresh. The crabcakes are fantastic... everything is always delicious! The service is very good, too. Can't wait to return! read more

They have a full menu but of course the specialize in seafood. I came and got the "all you can eat " Alaskan pollack" - the fish was made to order- very hot, good batter, came with 2 sides - I chose fries and coleslaw. Fries were a perfect golden brown, coleslaw was great not overly sweet. Raphael, our server was great - checked on us often but not overbearing. The ambiance is very low keyed - oldies music. read more

We were quickly greeted when we entered and were quickly lead to a table. Our table had the blackened Mahi Mahi with coleslaw and baked potato, the Buffalo Shrimp and a cup of clam chowder. The Mahi Mahi was perfect! The baked potato and Cole slaw were fine. The clam chowder was very good. The flavor of the buffalo shrimp was good, but I recommend removing the tails from the shrimp. They were very difficult to eat. We tried using a fork and knife to remove the tails but ended up leaving too much shrimp in the tail. We finally just picked them up with our hands and ate them. But it was messy! They would have been so much enjoyable if the tails had been removed before frying and dipping in buffalo sauce. The service was perfect. If ever in the area again we will be sure to return. read more

Service was poor and took way too long, over an hour from time of entry to when our party of four getting food on our table, and they were not busy. Server Kelly had an off putting attitude. No complaints about the food. Very tasty, served hot, price appropriate. read more

Authentic food. Made with some care. Not quite as mass produced as much of the area. Authenticate spices and flavors.

Best food of our cocoa beach vacation! Fried shrimp and homemade key lime pie were amazing! Local restaurant, we met the owner/chef and he was friendly and cared about his customers being happy with the food and service. Will definitely be back read more

1st: Service was excellent. Alexis was amazi g. When we made our orders she suggested that we order the baskets. 2nd: Food ane out hot and fresh. I questioned the catfish. But it was fresh and tasty. Atmosphere was very welcoming. Very family oriented. read more

Excellent fish and chips, in the English style. We liked the cod. Been there many times and look forward to going tonight.

Hate to do this but after almost an hour I. A empty place , we walked out Our food , a sandwich and a bowl of soup was never even started . We got nothing . Cook/ owner and the one waitress spent the time visiting with friends who stoped in and no one even checked on us even though we were 10 feet away Then the waitress chased us down in the parking lot claiming we had not paid for our one glass of wine , we had . If your running a restaurant , you should run a restaurant. read more

Outstanding food served with a smile. They have an extensive menu of seafood plus burgers and steaks for the non seafood eater. Our party of 6 were served quickly and Katie was an efficient and friendly server. Owners are on site and are the chefs! Truly the whole family is on site here. Highly recommend! read more

Went in with discount coupon and was told ( even though it didn't mention the restrictions) you can't use it on steak and pointed to the front of the menu where it says the restrictions. It's a a bait and switch tactic that I think is TERRIBLE customer service and experience. We were hungry so we ordered the large order of shrimp ( which is the regular size at other restaurants we frequent) which the old fish house charges an extra $8.00. I ordered the New York Steak which was 8 oz ( not the 10 inch they advertise) . To make things worse the steak was 70% tough and I ended up bringing it home to my dog. The first time we went here was good as we both ordered fish. But I WILL NOT BE going back !! read more

We went here on a whim we weren't certain about but gave it a try. The food was absolutely amazing!! The service outstanding! If you have not tried this restaurant you are certainly missing out!! 10 out of 10!! read more

Ordered the broiled seafood platter - Absolutely amazing shrimp, fish, seasoned perfectly to allow the natural flavor to shine! Service impeccable friendly and fast! read more

My husband found this place while looking through Yelp for a good seafood restaurant. Once he saw they serve Blue Crab he knew it's where we needed to go! It's a small family owned restaurant in a shopping center. Very authentic. I ordered snow crab (2 clusters), for $24.95. The crab was cooked perfectly. I will say I was disappointed that the "drawn butter" was that fake butter, but the crabs really didn't need much butter at all. Mine didn't come with sides so I was charged $3.95 x 2 for 2 red potatoes and a sprig of broccoli, 1 piece of cauliflower and a few sliced carrots. They were all delicious but thought my 2 clusters should have at least come with one side. My husband really enjoyed his Blue Crab! They were easily taken apart! There was only one waitress but she did a great job keeping up with the tables. We definitely recommend this place and will definitely return! read more

We needed to find someplace to have a late lunch/early dinner, and because of the positive reviews, we came here. We're glad we did. Husband was hungry & ordered the fried shrimp with boiled potatoes & corn. I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered the crab cake appetizer. Our waitress was sweet, patient, & efficient. She also had a good sense of humor. The food came out quickly. His shrimp were huge! The sides looked appetizing, too. My crab cake was a nice size on lettuce & large tomato slice. All of it tasted so good! Crab cakes actually had a lot of crab (not too much filler) & were a touch spicy. Cocktail & tartar sauces were available, but not necessary for the crab cake. The cook came out, and asked how everything was. We were happy to tell him, "Perfect!" The bathrooms were clean, well stocked, and the walls provided entertaining statements - at least that was true in the ladies' room. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated - ocean mural on one wall with mounted fish & artwork on the other wall. Prices were reasonable. When we return to the area, we WILL return here. If you live in the area, you need to try this place. read more

We never got to taste the food -there was only one waitress one o'clock pm.. People sitting at 3 other tables. We waited about 10 minutes before she asked about drinks. I ordered a glass of wine and my husband asked for water which came about 5 minutes later. About 10 minutes later she came to take our food order. I ordered a mahi-mahi's sandwich and he ordered a bowl of clam chowder. We waited approximately another 40 minutes, . In the meantime a man came out from the back, sat on a stool and chatted with people at the first table. Then he got up, came back to us and asked how our food was. We said that we didn't know because we hadn't gotten it yet. Then he said something to the effect that it was his fault and he better get back to the kitchen.We had been there for almost an hour. At that point, we left $10 on the table ( for a $5 glass of wine) and walked out the door. The waitress chased after us and said that we still had a tab. But at that point we decided that enough was enough . read more

I don't know where to start. I REALLY wanted fried clams. We have not enjoyed the last few places we have been to so we were on the hunt for somewhere new. So glad my husband found Old Fish House on Yelp! The server was super fun and helpful. The food truly hit the spot. But when you order all you can eat and the server asks are you sure... heed the warning. I had 2 servings of the fried clams and I am so full! But it was amazing! We had the fried mushroom appetizer and my husband the fried combo and every batter was different. So much flavor. All the sauces are home made too! I could have eaten the ranch with a spoon! HIGHLY recommend! read more

We stopped in for dinner after reading a post in "we are Cocoa Beach" FB group Well we were created by the waitress with a big smile! We sat at the bar and indeed again greeted with a smile from the bartender. We started with a crab cake, OMG so delicious and large enough to split. For dinner I had the fried shrimp, lightly fried to perfection Came with two sides I got fried and slaw along with some onion rings! Everything was delicious. My hubby got the Mahi dinner with veggies- the portion was large and he said it was very good. The service is excellent and so glad that we decided to try this little hidden gem. We love finding new places and since we have been in the area for over twenty years wish we found it earlier. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Great little family run place. Nothing fancy. Fried mushrooms and frog legs are very good.

The service was great, friendly and welcoming. Recommend the clam chowder and fried fish with IPA. This is one of the best places to have your sea food in Coco Beach. I believe in a family owned restaurant and this place has all the ambiance of southern Florida. read more

Our family likes to find the hidden Jems. Don't let the plaza fool you as they have been there for years. We were on the hunt for soft shell crab and they hit it out of the park. We ordered the fried oysters, first time for the daughter and she is a connoisseur for judging her oysters. Lightly breaded and very close to a raw taste. I got the fried fish. I think the first lightly battered that was delicious and not greasy. We are limited to needing quieter restaurants and this just hit the spot. definite family return. read more

Old Fish House Restaurant - Soft shell crab, if you call 2 days in advance you can get larger - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

You know the old adage about the "no frills / shack" sort of place has the best seafood. This is one of those places. They have half a dozen types of fish another half dozen types of seafood. The fish they will fry, beer batter, blacken or grill to your taste and serve with 2 sides. If you pick the house salad it's noteworthy that the dressings are made in-house. I had the Yellow fin tuna blackened and seared. House salad featuring homemade dressing (which I recommend). read more

My wife and I used to love this place, then it changed hands and went downhill fast. That was two owners ago, so we decided to check it out on a Thursday night. We were extremely DISAPPOINTED! One of the waitresses was reasonably nice, but then another came to the table (the owner's daughter maybe?). She was rude, unwelcoming, and not at all helpful. My wife wanted fried oysters in a beer batter. While they cook other seafood in a beer batter, they refused and said the cook (the owner) refused saying the batter would not stick to the oysters. Having personally cooked fried oysters in a beer batter I knew this was BS, he just did not want to do it. Reluctantly, my wife placed her order, ordering quite a bit of food. When it came time for my order, I asked for the All-You-Can Eat fried shrimp. I was refused because it was "too close to closing time." If they had been overwhelmed with customers, I possibly could have understood. However, there were only two tables, us and one other who had just arrived. And, not only did they refuse my order, but the waitress did not even try to be nice about it. My wife and I looked at one another and instantly communicated, "We're Out of Here!" I paid for our two sodas and we left. As someone who travels extensively and eats out often, I cannot remember the last time I had service this bad. I will NEVER go back again and I strongly suggest you choose someplace other than this for your seafood dining. read more

If you're looking for great fried fish or shrimp without the noise and bad service.....this is the place for you. We wanted fried fish without any of the beach type hassles. We found the haddock awesome and the shrimp great as well as the chowder. Good prices and very good value. read more

The best fresh seafood in the area. I have been at least 5 times and every time the food is excellent.

If you're looking for quality seafood at a reasonable price, this place is worth a try. It's in a strip mall a ways away from the beach, so you won't get a beach view or vibe but you'll get decent food with unique flavors. The decor is interesting, filled with nautical nicknacks and taxidermy fish. The service was good. The waitress is attentive and friendly. Out table ordered a variety of dishes. We liked the hush puppies and the corn fritters. We order the corn fritters without powdered sugar, because #diabetes. My blackened mahi mahi had good flavor, but was a little dry. The broiled version my brother had was better. They put a unique flavor on the broiled version that tasted a bit like Indian food, maybe a curry spice. They used the same spice on my mom's chicken, but the chicken was really dry. The mixed vegetable side was good, tasted like butter so maybe not the healthiest. I liked the caesar salad, especially the homemade croutons. They tasted like garlic and nutmeg. read more

Our seafood dishes were superb and the clam chowder was amazing. We had the privilege of speaking with the other for a few minutes at the end of our meal. He takes great pride in his restaurant. He spends a lot of time and concern getting the right seafood and preparing it. He sources carefully and always prepares the seafood himself. A great local spot! read more

This was my favorite place to eat while we were on vacation in Satellite Beach. Hole in the wall place that is definitely "old Florida". Trust me I know, born and raised. As soon as you walked in the door the smell of old bay filled your nostrils. The 3.5 stars they have was not accurate to begin with because one reviewer gave them a 1 star because they were closed. Any way this was the perfect place for my wife and I. She gets her snow crab and I get my Blue Crab. Now, this is not the same as Chesapeake bay Blue Crab but when you don't live up north, it's the next best thing. My wife had the snow and it was as good as if I had cooked it at home. She was full with the 2 clusters and the 2 sides she received. I had a Honey wheat beer on draft and nothing goes better with crab. It was later in the evening when we were there so the live crabs were running a little low. I got the last 3 Medium and settled for 3 small to complete my half dozen. I really couldn't tell the difference between the sizes. They even had Worcestershire sauce which I like to mix in my butter. The only improvement they could make is to have Real butter to dip in. Next time I am in the area, I will be here again. read more

We walked in and there was a strong smell of oyster shells. I had read the reviews so we stuck it out and decided to stay regardless of the smell. My wife and I had looked at the online menu in advance so we knew what we wanted to order. She orded the large portion of fried shrimp and I ordered the large order of fried oysters. Our food was the best we had tasted in a long time. Very fresh seafood. The prices were significantly higher than the online menu so they need to talk to their web page company. Great food and a friendly staff. read more
