Best fried seafood I've ever eaten. You order when you come in and can get your order to go or sit at a table. I ordered fried shrimp and flounder with a side of fries. It was delicious. The flounder had the texture of fresh flounder from the coast. The staff was courteous and friendly. I will be back again!

I had a taste for some fish last night, and actually forgot about this place.. So I stopped by and got a 7 piece whiting.. The young man that took my order was very pleasant.. The fish was so good!. Hot and fresh.. I'll definitely be back.

My first time and it was a 10 out of 10. I had the shrimp and catfish dinner with orka and a lemonade. Everything was good and I'll definitely be back.

Got the whiting sandwich. Super generous fish pack into it. Also tried shrimp tacos. Yummy. (I do wish there were 3 instead of 2.) Ventured away from plant based eating to try it. It was worth the try. Glad I at least know what it tastes like before returning plant based.

Great spot with kind and personable staff with excellent quality food. Had the shrimp and flounder basket and can say with confidence, probably some of the best I've ever had. Everything was super fresh and piping hot. The fries are perfectly seasoned and it was fantastic. Will be back for sure!

Awesome seafood location. Food was fresh and well prepared. I had the fried oyster basket, the wife had the shrimp tacos. My oysters came out quickly. Super hot and crispy. Tasting very fresh with s slight corn meal taste to the breading. They even asked when ordering how crispy I wanted them fried. Now that's a cook that knows fried oysters. My side, the Cole slaw was sweet and creamy and well chilled. The wife's shrimp tacos 2, were crispy and large. She loved the cilantro lime sauce included. Her hush puppies were crisp and slightly sweet. Got my heart set on the catfish for our next visit. Great food!

This was a Fish Sandwich Game Changer! I have one word for you 42 Fry....WOW!!! I stopped here to pickup lunch and ordered the flounder fish sandwich with fries and coleslaw (now, although the fries did not make it in my to go plate, I was a little disappointed) HOWEVER once I took a bite of that enormous fish sandwich, I did not care that I was missing fries. The coleslaw was excellent too! I will definitely be back and I am telling my friends, family, coworkers, and colleagues to make sure they stop by 42 Fry and try them out. Awesome food and great customer service!
