I'm from New England so, will not eat clam strips, however the fried oyster's here are the best I have ever had. I have tried other restaurants locally that serve fried oysters and nothing can compare to the Fish House. One night I wanted to try the seafood bisque and they didn't have enough for a serving, so they took... More

It was a nice place to grab a quick lunch and very good. I had catfish and grits. Prices seemed average. The downside is that they are only open later in the week.

Fish shack outdoor picnic table seating. Bring your own beer/wine. Everything is fried. We had the catfish. Pretty good, but no hush puppies or okra. Nice laid back, Florida country style setting.

Was down to see my parents a Hawaiian Isle RV Resort, and they suggested this place to eat. The fish was fresh and awsome. I dont eat alot of fish and found this very much to my likeing. If you are in the area you must try it.

If you don't care about comfortable seating and atmosphere and want good fried seafood at a very fair price this is your place. Shared picnic tables, and very rustic, but I loved the basic fish dinner. They offer a large version for about $3 more--I struggled to finish the basic one--I thought the portions were generous. Wife had the combo... More

We passed by this little "shack" while staying at the Little Harbor Resort. We figured that from the looks and how busy it was it was probably an awesome place to eat. The food was good, but the grouper sandwiches we got had 3 little tiny filets on a bun...not really what we expected for the price. Needless to say... More

Enjoy eating fresh fish at a picnic table? The Fish House in Ruskin off Shell Point Rd on the way to Little Harbor is a gem of a find. Fresh fish and seafood - served with a light batter which we like - is offered here. Has seasonal specials. Order at the window and dine at picnic tables on your... More

The Fish House is a no-frills eatery with outside seating and orders taken at the window. The fish and seafood are very fresh, with a light breading. Side orders nothing special, but the seafood is great with large portions. Thursday-Saturday, take your drinks or bottle of wine and enjoy fresh fish and seafood at their picnic tables, reminiscent of the... More
