I have been coming here for my parents off and on for about a year. Finally doing a review. This is an upgrade from a Captain D's type spot. The food is always so fresh and prepared very well. There's pride in ownership as I've personally seen the owner cleaning and attending to the soda machine himself. The staff is always nice and welcoming and they will tell you the truth. For instance, when I asked about the banana pudding they let me know there's no actual bananas in it. That matters to me as I love bananas. It's always been a chill quiet vibe inside when I've visited. Could be good for a group but not a huge group. There's plenty of parking in the lot out front and they have bathrooms for patrons. I'd highly recommend this location and will continue to solicit their location. I also love how the staff greats their regular customers. Really welcoming and caring . read more

I appreciate good shrimp that comes out quickly and the ability to add clams this went well together.

Unassuming made to order seafood spot in a strip mall. I give it four stars but am a little more critical than other reviewers of it. Perch dinner with slaw and hush puppies: Portion of perch was great. The hush puppies not so much for a dinner portion I expected more puppies and slaw. Perch: perfect crunchy cornmeal forward coating. A few tough prices and spots but generally well cooked. A tad, not much, but a tad too greasy under the coating. Eat it while hot and can hardly tell. The biggest issue is it lacked seasoning. Perch and cornmeal were fine but it needed seasoned badly. Huspuppies. A little small so I wished for 1-2 more. However excellent cook crispy outside and soft inside and had that hint of onion that most miss when offering hush puppies. Slaw: Good enough. Pretty standard slaw offering. Leans sweet which I prefer Sauces: the cocktail sauce is amazing with a perfect punch of horseradish. More people should talk about this sauce lol The tarter was in a packet. They have a perfect opportunity to stand out by making homemade tarter I'd suspect. Overall, pretty good, especially when made to order perch is hard to find. Add some seasoning and tarter and easily 5+ read more

Sharks Seafood was a fantastic place to eat! My parents recommended the place as I didn't even know we had one here in Louisville. (Not sure if these are the same folks that own the stores in the Chicago area.) The outside area is unassuming but when you get in and get your food, be prepared to be blown away! My wife and I both had the fried tilapia sandwich with fries and the fish was PIPING hot! All of the food tasted very fresh and came up pretty quickly. We also had the hushpuppies which were hot and delicious too! We will definitely be going back as soon as possible! They're closed on Sundays which would have been our second visit in a week but we'll be back for sure. read more

Good in the past, not this time. The food was so hard and overcooked. Did they pre-fry it, then fry it again to reheat? Very disappointed read more

Great fish! Love love the mushrooms too. We have now tried them several times and pleased both times.

No way to call in an order. I have to go in and order it and then wait normally only takes about 10 minutes. Food's really good though.

1st time here and I live so close I feel bad for waiting so long. I took friends from out of town and the place is clean, friendly, and a good variety of food. We had shrimp, catfish, fried okra, hush puppies, and fries. The portions are large for the price and it was cooked fresh once we ordered. read more

Had lunch today. Being in a strip mall there is plenty of parking. If you are looking for some fried seafood then Shark's Seafood might be what you are looking for. In addition to fish they also offer wings. But we came for fish so I got the Cod Sandwhich. It was hot and crispy and the rye bread was nice and soft. Fries were crispy on the outside but under seasoned. Added some salt and they were decent fries. Almost everything on the menu is froed so if your looking for a lot of grilled/steamed options this might nit be the place for you. You order at the counter when you cone in. The food is served in disposable styrofoam containers. They keep most condiments behind the counter which is a little frustrating if you want more than what they initially give you. All in all next time I am craving a fish sandwhich I will be back. :) read more

I had heard their wings were unmatched in Louisville, so I went into this business with the anticipation of grabbing myself an order. Being gluten-free, I always ask how the food is made and the ingredients for each dish. This business uses a flour mixture on their wings. It was my misunderstanding, I thought these wings were akin to Buffalo Wings, they are more like fried chicken wings. I perused the menu and saw a catfish meal, and since catfish is typically breaded with cornmeal, I asked about the ingredients. The order taker advised they use a flour/cornmeal mixture, but he could tell them to use only cornmeal. So my order entailed a cornmeal breaded 2-piece catfish meal with fries and green beans. I took my food to go. The fish was so greasy, it was not edible. Besides the grease level, I mean it was thoroughly saturated, their was no seasoning whatsoever on the fish. Bland and greasy is not a pleasant experience for the palate. I only tried one fry, as after one bite, I discovered they were coated with some sort of flour mixture. The green beans were straight out of a can, soggy and no seasoning at all. This place was super busy, so maybe it was just my personal experience, but I will not be returning. read more

Got the catfish nuggets, Horrible. Its pretty much fried catfish skin. The service was bland to say the least and over priced for quality of food served read more

The food and the personal is fabulous when I leave this location I'm going there. Mr and my family simply love the food.

Everything is fried. And fried well. Not too done. Portions are large. Very clean place. All condiments in tiny packets except for cocktail sauce. (A pet peeve) read more

Friendly greeting upon entry, seems to be standard here:) Quick and easy counter ordering. Reasonable wait for my dine in order of the Cod platter to be ready. Love the cornmeal style lightly breaded fish here, the hush puppies are small but pack a craveworthy flavor punch of crispy goodness. The sides I've tried are o.k, nothing to drool over but adequate choices. Desserts are avail but I never save room for one. Small dine in seating area with a handful of booths & tables. Efficient carry out avail too. Variety of fish options, shrimp, chicken options, platters or sandwiches, sides, desserts, beverages. Tucked away in the back corner of McMahon Plaza in Hikes Point. Usually a steady stream of dine in and to go patrons when I stop in here. Very reasonable pricing (under $12 for the fish, two sides, & a drink)and tasty food that's worth a visit! read more

Fish is good, a little salty, good coleslaw, sides are small size, green beans good but salty. Catfish is great! But still a little salty. Staff are very pleasant, the place is clean, it does have tables for dining service. The have chair for customers waiting on their pick up. Not usually a long wait unless it's Friday, in which the place is crowded. read more

I've always loved Sharks. The meals looked a little bit less than what I was used to from their first location, but in a good way, it's actually the proper serving for a meal and you won't leave hungry. The staff was nice, greeted us as soon as we walked in and told us to take our time as we looked through their menu on the wall. The place looked very clean and it had a nice laid back atmosphere with a couple of television's set to different stations. The food didn't take long at all. You can dine in or to go. You get free refills and there's plenty of parking. read more

I have this theory where if your food comes out on a paper plate or styrofoam box, it's gonna be fantastic. Sharks Seafood was such a pleasant surprise for me, and feel as if it is a bit underrated to the Louisville community. Out of all of my 23 years of living in Louisville, I do not think that I have ever been to this part of town. And maybe that is why Sharks does not have a bigger name, but who knows. All I knew was that I was hungry, and craving some good seafood. Their menu is very big. All kinds of different options that you can choose from. I had never heard of Catfish in 'nugget' form, but holy hell...it was delicious!!! Everything is cooked to order, so it comes out very fresh and crispy. You also get a couple sides with your order, so it includes a heck of a lot of food for a good deal. I also immediately noticed how friendly everyone is here. It's not often that you go somewhere to eat and all of the staff are smiling, talking to the customers, etc...but I felt very welcome here. The next time you're wanting some seafood, try Sharks. It may be a bit out of the way depending on where you're coming from, but it sure is worth it. read more

My wife saw this Seafood Restaurant was not too far from us and wanted a sampler tasting. I was hesitant since Louisville is not known for "Fast Food" seafood (carry out or sit down). However, I decided to check it out and asked first person carrying a "to go" bag for his opinion: "Great" ! Inside was busy and all food(except for deserts) are made at time of ordering. Service was excellent at counter!! I've had Seafood places in Canada, Alaska East and West Coasts, so have a pretty good idea what to expect. Brought food home and everything was good(unfortunately everything was fried) and tasted great while HOT. The Cod Fish Sandwich( had it plain) was excellent and tasted authentic And not processed(I think the Fish Sandwich maybe the best on menu) With all the "Starters" and Fish Sandwich it was very reasonable $34. Look at the pictures and receipt and you be the judge. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the perfectly seasoned fish we ordered. A 2 piece white fish dinner with 2 sides included! I got hushpuppies and coleslaw as my sides. The other sides they offer are French fries and green beans. The portion sizes were decent. The hushpuppies were great! I wished the hushpuppies were a bit bigger though. But the taste of the fish and the pups was fantastic! Perfectly cooked! The coleslaw was a cross between KFC and Long Johns, very tasty, sweet, crunchy slaw! The coleslaw wasnt dry, it was made just right. The prices were above average, this is not Mc Donald's. You receive a great product for the price you pay. The service was great as well. We ordered inside, then waited in our vehicle while they made our food to order. Everything was hot, fresh. There is no eating inside due to size and restrictions that are currently being implemented. Overall, I will be back! read more

Food was good. Service was great! On the downside it's more like a fast food restaurant. Reminded me of Moby Dick. Self serve drinks and clean up. read more

Good food, great value! Service is always friendly, courteous, and professional. Facility is clean.

I like fried perch, and this is the only spot that has it. Is it the best I've had, "No". But is it good, "absolutely". I've been there several times, and my food has been consistent, in terms of crispness, and perfectly cooked (not over or under). It's a strip mall restaurant, so don't go there expecting prime dining. But it's always clean, the people that work there are courteous, everything that my wife and I have had has been good (we've only eaten the fish and shrimp). read more

I wanted to try something new in the area. I don't eat red meat, so finding a good fish/seafood lunch option is hard at times. I googled to look for spots near me and Shark's was listed as one of the 10 best fish sandwich places. I decided to give them a try for lunch. Carryout only due to COVID-19, but that was not an issue for me. The place was clean, the gentleman at the counter was friendly and there was no wait time @12:35 pm (lunchtime). I ordered the Cod platter (3 pieces, fries and coleslaw). OHHHH MYYY GOODNESS!!!! It was delicious. In my opinion, much better than PassTime, just my opinion!!! I will continue to go back just to try some of the many, many other options on the menu. It was fried to perfection, the fries were seasoned really good too. I ATE ALL OF IT!!!. read more

Fantastic service and very polite. I was told 10 minutes, came out in under that and everything was fresh. I was finished with most of the meal, fries thay were left were still hot... can't beat that!! If you like seafood but also don't want to be overcharged, this is your place. read more

Sharks Seafood - Catfish nuggets and shrimp po boy Added shrimp to my combo as well - Seafood Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Nice and clean. I'm not sure how long it's been open on Breckinridge Ln in the McMahon shopping center. Catfish nuggets and chicken wings... I don't venture too far away from these tried and true orders. Hard to go higher than 3 stars after a few visits and the food is so inconsistent. First time I came the wings were juicy and nuggets fried perfectly. Second time, things were fried hard without asking. Third time, wings were ok, but catfish nuggets were FILLED with little bones. read more

Nasty molded bread served at the customer's expense-- eat at your own risk --. How unacceptable!

I've been going to Sharks for years and finally decided to do a review. I ordered the catfish dinner, which comes with two catfish fillets and two sides. I got the fries and coleslaw as my sides. Sharks have the best coleslaw in Louisville, kind of sweet but still good it comes in a small cup. If you get a dinner combo you can add shrimp or oysters for $4.99 to any meal. Sharks has some of the largest jumbo shrimps and they are fries so crispy and good. If you go on a Friday prepare for a wait, but it's worth it. The food is cooked to order, so everything is streaming hot when you get. read more

A welcomed addition to the neighborhood, so far so good! Clean and welcoming space right next door to the McMahan Kroger (moved from their 7th St. Location). The service was quicky, friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and can dine in or take out. There are plenty of fried fish and seafood options, or if seafood is not your thing there's also fried chicken and salads on the menu. The catfish nuggets and fried fish sandwich I ordered were made fresh to order and good. The coleslaw is on the small side but delicious (similar to KFC's). It's nothing fancy or gourmet, just a solid fast and fresh seafood joint. Final verdict: I'll be back! read more

Seems to have fallen off a bit since COVID. The cod has always been a favorite. The last two times I've ordered it has been grisly and overcooked. Side order is pretty small for the price. People are nice and perhaps need a chance to recover. Not bad just not as good as previous years. read more
