    Stumbled upon this place searching for a fried fish restaurant and this little shack hits the spot. It's on Atlantic and Burnett. Tried the 4 piece fish (tilapia) and 2 sides (fries) (coleslaw). My husband tried the catfish with fries and hush puppies. The fish tasted fresh and not to heavy on your stomach. The fries were just okay for me they were on the thick cut side. Best to eat everything fresh unless you have an air fryer to reheat, fried fish does not taste the same in the microwave. It does take a a little while to get your food. Ordered ahead online and it took about 8 minutes after the order said it would be ready for it to be ready for me to pick up. It seemed popular but fast paste service. It's not in the best part of Long Beach but you are able to park and order without having to search for parking.

    After doing some laundry down the street I remember hearing about The Fish Shack. I decided to give it a shot! Glad I did. Very friendly and food is definitely made to order as I had to wait, which I'm not upset about. The food was delicious and I'll definitely be back! This is a place to order your food and go home to eat it. Parking lot is small but easy to get in and out.

    Best fried catfish I've had in some years. Fresh, seasoned and perfectly cooked. Fish is flaky , moist & crispy. Shrimp was also crispy & seasoned well. Fries are fresh & salted to perfection. Sauces are made in house. Service was great and informative. This really is a small family business, strictly to go ordering , no tables just great food.

    Finally, a good fish house close to home so now i don't have to drive all the way to north long beach for it. I got the jumpo shrimp combo and yes they tasted good and the batter was nice and crispy! Fries average just like most spots. The potato salad was good. They have fish, chicken, oyster and shrimp so lots to pick from. The lady taking my order was sweet. They have dessert which i should have got one but i will on the next trip. Not many good fish spots in long beach but this one is solid! Shrimp Plate 8.8/10 very good and you get 8 nice size shrimps Onion rings 8.0/10

    I like the way they box up fish dinners it was still very crispy when I arrived home.

    Do you love fried fish if so this is the place for you this is my second time eating at The Fish Shack and I'll let you know my take on the food. The Fish Shack is located in a busy street with a huge parking lot so pull up it's for to go orders only the staff is youngish and very nice. They have an extensive menu what do you want red snapper, fried oysters shrimp or fried okra whatever you desire I'm sure it's on the menu. I decided on a combination meal it came with 3 pieces of fried red snapper, 5 fried shrimp seasoned fries 3 hush puppies and a dinner roll. -- Red snapper 3 pieces I asked them to fry it extra crispy it was seasoned very well very crispy and perfectly cooked It was 5/5 -- You must ask them to fry the fish extra crispy. Fried Shrimp medium size. Seasoned perfectly and crispy enough to eat the shell on the tail they were so good. 5/5 French Fries Crispy standard frozen fries crispy sprinkled lightly with seasoned salt they were sooo good hot and fresh. 4/5 Hush Puppies Nice and crunchy great seasoning and completely cooked inside I loved them. 4/5 Dinner roll Standard roll/bread very dry it was just ok. 2/5 The meal came with two free sauces of my choice but they have four from which you can choose I paid .50 each extra for two more. -- Remoulade sauce delicious. Hot sauce standard and good. Tartar sauce standard and good. Seafood sauce standard and good. -- All of them were good they're just your standard average store bought sauces very good and they all go well with the fish shrimp and fries FYI I dipped the fries in everything and it was the bomb. Everything I ordered was delicious and I would order them all again the food was fresh and not fishy very crispy and seasoned well I was pleased. My first visit on during the grand opening was a very long wait in line which I expected because it was packed -- however the food was expensive and everything I ordered was under seasoned and not very crispy so I'm glad to see that wasn't an issue today and the quality issues have improved. Consistency is what I look for when I revisit restaurants and based on the current good reviews and my experience today it's looking real good for The Fish Shack. 4/5 today. -- Maybe I'll up the rating after two more visits if the food quality is consistent. Stop by and show your support and as I always say in the summertime after lunch or dinner head straight down Atlantic towards Ocean and visit The Aquarium or the Pike you will thank me. Just me Shawn C. Bye for now. .

    This place is to go only. Outdoor dining available. Of fish is not your thing they also have friend chicken. Everything is prepared to order so there will be a slight wait. I ordered the shrimp and whiting with hush puppies and fries. The shrimp and hush puppies were my favorites. The fries were ok. The food came out piping hot and travelled well back home.

And England Fish & Chips had been on my radar ever since it popped up, I think, from someone else's Yelp review or YouTube channel. This small spot is in the corner of a strip mall and I've heard the lines can be long at peak hours but at 3pm on a Wednesday, it was a breeze and the friendly and smiling owner gladly took my order. I ordered a "Snacker" Fish & Chips for 7 bucks and change and it came out after perhaps a 5 minute wait after ordering and piping hot. HOLY MOLY; this place is LEGIT. My go-to spot for Fish 'n Chips in L.A. has always been Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica but this place is closer and truly delicious. For just over $7, you get a very large piece of fish and a huge helping of fries. The breading is delicious and perfectly crispy. The fish inside is delicate, flakey and moist. Your meal is served with ketchup and delicious tartar sauce but I'm a traditionalist and love dousing my F&C with Malt Vinegar which is on every table in the joint. I did cheat and tried the tartar sauce for some variety and it was fantastic. What an amazing hidden gem! TIKI DAVE HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDS England Fish & Chips! If you like TIKI DAVE's reviews...

Not sure if they had like their own breading or something?...but they were sooooo crunchy on the outside and incredible soft on the inside. And the cheese sauce on the old bay fries wasn't your cheap nacho cheese; it was thick and had a creamy flavor that KILLED it. Their wings were also very crunchy, as were the calamari fries. I especially loved how the calamari was not minced, as I thought it would be so that it could be formed into a fry shape. I think the theme here is crunch. And they found the PERFECT balance between crunch and tender for each food I tried (didn't get the lobster dishes tho because I don't like lobster and I was kind of forced to come here...hahaha).

Once inside, there were quite a few customers. The atmosphere felt very old-school and slower paced, with more of an older crowd. The girl taking the order was very friendly, which I appreciated. I ordered the Three P's fish and chips, jumbo shrimp, and a large coleslaw. After taking it home, I thought the fish tasted light and fresh, and the fries were pretty good too. Overall, I thought it was decent. My mom, however, felt the food was a little soggy and could've been cooked a bit longer. She also mentioned the batter on the fish had a slightly sweet taste, almost like a donut or cake batter rather than a traditional fish batter.
