Getting a fried fish basket at a restaurant is essentially ordering the American version of Fish and Chips—delicious fried fish served with tartar and coleslaw, usually paired with piping hot fries. If you live on the coast and are spoiled for choice with decent seafood restaurants you can probably find good fish baskets whenever you want, but for others seafood chain restaurants will indulge cravings for deliciously battered and deep-fried cod, catfish, haddock, or pollock. Here are five restaurant chains where the fried fish baskets are magnificent.
Bonefish Grill
Bonefish Grill‘s fan-favorite Fish & Chips basket is made with crispy cod, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and served with french fries. “The food is perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. I had my order delivered and the fried fish was still crunchy and yummy,” one happy diner said. Best fried fish and shrimp in the area,” another agreed.
Long John Silver’s
Long John Silver’s is still serving up fried fish that make customers very happy, like the 2-piece Fish Basket Basket containing classic battered Alaska pollock and sides. “The hush puppies, fish and shrimp tasted JUST like they did back in the day. Fresh crispy 😋 so happy we stopped here for lunch,” one fan raved.
