As always food is great. Was craving fish n chips and it was satisfied! Takes a while because it's cooked to order. It's not sitting under a heat lamp waiting to be plated. Staff is always so nice. We even got some prepared crab cakes to cook at home, can't wait to see how those are! Ooh maybe I'll make crab cakes Benedict mmmm We got there before the dinner rush so had a pick of tables which were all clean! read more

The Great Lakes perch was too "fishy" tasting. The pieces of fish were very small. The sides (mac'n cheese, yams, buffalo Fries) were perfunctory. Yams were out of a can, no coleslaw was available. Mac 'n cheese was like Velveta... The coconut shrimp was good. We won't be back. read more

Easy, quick oysters on half shell surprisingly good. Jumbo fried shrimp not that jumbo. Water good. 8-))

Food and service is crap. Go to original location. Food, service, and atmosphere is way more authentic and welcoming. Food is always fresh at the shadeland location. A little pricey especially in this economy but if you not broke like me go for it! read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Old scraps.. - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My favorite place for fresh fish in Indy/Greenwood! Never disappoints. I've ordered to-go and it's hard to keep the batter from softening, but get it fresh and it slaps every time. I almost always go for the Caplinger's Special or sandwich, fried. For sides, the red beans and rice has a nice kick, but the star of the show are the hushpuppies. read more

The service was amazing. Tim needs a raise he went above and made us feel welcomed. He needs a raise and promotion. He alone made us want to return. The food was fresh and amazing. The chicken breast was juicy and flavorful. The greens and red beans and rice were so good. I could eat their greens every day. Their walley is cooked and flavored well and it tastes like it was caught and cooked the same day. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything from here. They are reasonably priced and they are generous with their portions. If you have not been here you need to check them out. read more

It's in an old Long John Silver's. Food was essentially inedible. Mostly microwaved junk. Anything from Long John Silver's was better than this junk. Crab cakes gave me food poisoning. Even the "fresh" seafood in the fish market there looked off. AVOID. read more

I like this restaurant a lot. I used to go to the one in Whitestown but sadly that location is closed (at least it was the last time I was up that way). The food is very good and they have a pretty large menu. The portions are generous. A little Pricey but you get what you pay for! read more

Wow if you like seafood then this is a place you need to check out. Not only do they have fresh variety of just about everything just pick something and they will make it for you any way you like. Yes the prices are a bit on the high side, but you will at least know exactly what you ate eating, and it's all good. read more

Visited here about a week or so ago & the fish here is soooo tasty! The staff were super friendly and quick to serve. I ordered the crab cake dinner with a side of green beans, Mac n cheese and hush puppies. Restaurant is small but they have outdoor seating or you can take your food to go. The menu is very extensive with so many seafood options to choose from. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the options-everything I've tried has been delicious. read more

Very small restaurant and fresh fish market but high quality food and service. There are two refrigerators with bottled drinks, desserts, prepared foods, goods, frozen fish and seafood. There is a large display of fresh fish and seafood for the market. You order at a small counter and there are about 6 tables for dine in. They have delicious drink options with mixed fruit juices, soda, sweet tea, and Tamika Catchings bottled tea. They have sandwiches, salmon, shrimp, oysters, catfish, etc. The sides are delicious. I recommend both their mac n cheese and fried ocra. read more

This place is the best! We had of, one blackened and one fried and both were delicious. We recently moved from Florida and thought we'd never have good seafood again. Next time I'm trying the grouper. The variety of seafood in their case is impressive, read more

If you're not a fish fan avoid this place. My wife has always ordered the tenderloin until now it was placed in the same fryer as the fish along with the potatoes we had carry out but the grease was leaking out of the food and although I had fish which I like but everything that came with the meal was not fit to eat. I was really disappointed because I have eaten at the one in Whitestown several times and it was always great. But I will never eat at the one in Greenwood again read more

When on Yelp and found this place were in a strange city, we live in Frankfurt Illinois, and we're visiting Indianapolis to go to Coast To Coast Imports to trade my wife's car for a nicer car so we needed to eat dinner and we found this place called Caplingers and stopped in to have dinner. We ordered some coconut shrimp, some cornbread and some baked beans and some blackened.fish everything was wonderful except the blackened fish. I would only give that two stars it tasted fishy, but everything else was wonderful and the gentlemen who are running the place were very friendly. They gave us extra cocktail sauce and I just thought they were terrific so this is an easy five star. I will go there again the next time I'm visiting Indianapolis. read more

Fantastic. Kind of non-descriptive and unassuming from the outside (Southside location). Just an old pizza hut and that's ok. All was good. Hush puppies, cod, basa, GREEN BEANS, yams, Mac n cheese. Had it for dinner last night; went back for lunch today! I'd say "we're hooked"! (See what I did there?). Anyway five stars. Go now! read more

This seafood, both grilled and fried was so fresh and tasty! Caplingers sandwich, grilled, and the Caplingers platter, fried. Red beans/rice and Creole coleslaw. Amazing. Very fresh, very tasty, not under/overcooked! Whenever you're around, you have to visit! The fresh seafood looked great, and a good assortment of frozen and canned food as well. I'm sure to recommend! read more

If you want a no frills delicious seafood meat, this is the place! No alcohol, plastic utensils, but fresh and good! Really liked the okra

The food was well seasoned, freshly made, and worth the pricing. Everyone provided great service with a smile! The facility was clean. The decor was personalized and engaging. The walleye fish was amazing! We will definitely be back again! read more

Fresh seafood prepared anyway you prefer. The service was spot on and friendly. Will be back. read more

Was greeted immediately and introduced to what to expect and recommendations on what to order. The staff was great throughout the whole time. Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh and cooked amazing. The clam chowder definitely can be compared to a New England clam chowder. You can tell it's a must try location when their location is steady getting people coming to order food or to just buy their fresh seafood. I was amazed that it didn't not stink like a fish market. read more

I've been to fast fish places like this before, but more so on the east coast. The fish was as fresh as you can get in a land locked state. I will say the hush puppies were good. I ordered the cod and a piece of Basa, the basa was cold as it took forever to get our food, but I was busy. I'd go back to the something else. They have a great selection of seafood if you're hosting a homemade boil. read more

Grouper 2/l for 1 thru VIP club- done to perfection in the Garlic Parm ! Excellect service from Yulinia at the register ! Charles quickly brought food to our table so I say the cook has a real skill! Large servings of grouper plus great sides and all very delish! Plenty of space near register if you need to sit while waiting a short time for takeout and plenty of dining in atrative side dining area to spread out for dinner and visit! read more

Best fish and seafood around. You can either buy uncooked and fix it yourself or have them fix it for you.

First stop at Caplinger's and only because reviews on Yelp are positive. My wife and I agree. She had a lobster roll melt. My sandwich was fried grouper. Both seem to be mainstays for the restaurant. The guys were helpful, friendly, and efficient. Many patrons coming in and out. They have quite a selection of fresh fish at reasonable prices if that's your thing. Okra is one of my favorites but it's hard to get good okra. They managed it very well! I'm not much of an authority on the fresh market stuff, but it is displayed nicely. Everyone seems to be very content with the whole product. Do it....now! read more

This was our first visit to Caplingers. The staff were pleasant and very attentive. I got the Caplinger sandwich grilled with hush puppies and my husband had fried grouper sandwich with fries. We both loved the fish. It was nice size portions and very tasty. We both ordered a side of clam chowder but were so full we couldn't eat it Can't wait to eat it at home. We will definitely come back read more

This place is a go to and a must try if you want some great seafood in a casual setting. They have a counter where you can just buy raw fish (have them cook it or take home to cook) and you can also order and sit at the tables to eat. They have quite a few fish sandwiches made with lots of different fish, their lobster roll is amazing, the gator bites are really good, and so is most other things on the menu. I do sometimes struggle deciding whether to go here or somewhere with more ambience because you pay the same price even without being "fancy". It is certainly not a cheap meal at $25 a person on average but it is a good meal! read more

I really wish we could do half stars because I would give this a 3.5 star rating. We placed an online pickup order and everything was correct. That's a nice attention to detail. Entrees and sandwiches were great. All sauces were included, etc. The side of candied yams is absolutely the most amazing thing in this world. So good. Here's where things went kinda sideways for me. A large side of red beans and rice and an order of lobster bisque were obviously heavily microwaved. You know when you reheat something in a plastic to-go container and the rim gets kinda crusty and the plastic gets weird? Yea. That. The lobster bisque was really good, but my heart was broken at the crust ring around the container. It's bisque. Be gentle. The red beans and rice were an utter disaster. It was as if someone packaged this pint to-go container three days prior and then nuked it for my order. The rice was a sticky gelatinous mess at the bottom and the beans were undercooked. The sauce, which was sparse, just sat on top of the rice mess. I've wanted to try Caplinger's since the original location opened and now they have four! I look forward to going back and ordering thoughtfully. read more

This location has a huge outdoor pavilion in the back behind the parking lot, with 12 picnic tables available for eating outside. Inside they have blues music playing in their small dining room which has only nine tables. I ordered the Fish and Shrimp Dinner which comes with two sides. I ordered two sides of green beans. The green beans were okay but I probably wouldn't order them again but my sister did enjoy the green beans. The fish fillet was huge like the size of your typical fried pork tenderloin. I received eight shrimp and two small hush puppies. Everything was good eating. I went back through the order line to order my sister and brother-in-law a carry out order and tried a slice of their Chocolate Cake while I waited for that order. The cake was excellent! I delivered the carry out order and my brother-in-law loved the Buffalo Fries and finished off his Cod Fish Sandwich in no time. My sister said their Baked Beans were good and loved her Fish and Shrimp Dinner as well. She also ordered the Fried Clams and loved them too. Restrooms were adequate and clean. Parking was plentiful. My nephew said he wanted to come here and buy fish to take home and cook which you can. They have a huge selection of fresh seafood for purchase to take home and cook it how you like. read more

Y U M. I was skeptical to order fish in a landlocked state but it was really good! The fries were amazing. The Mac and cheese was mediocre. The only con was the fish was a little too breaded but overall really good read more

I go here regularly for fresh fish to cook at home and tonight I had dinner in the restaurant. I ordered a blackened grouper sandwich with a side of red beans and rice. The grouper was very sweet and had just enough blackening spice to give it a kick. The red beans and rice definitely had a spice and were very good. Whether you want seafood to cook at home or wanting dinner this is the place to go. read more

The food was good. Skip the desserts. We enjoyed our meal with that exception. They were out of one dessert, didn't offer one of the ones that was listed on their website and the one we did get was just okay. Dinner was good, though. read more

Was looking forward to my first time to Caplinger's when I found out they had Grouper and Gator Bites. I have had both all over the Gulf Coast of Florida many many times. The Grouper is a bright white and mild firm fish that is great cooked any way. This sandwich (fried) had what appeared to be catfish fillets on it and was very fishy tasting and about the size of Crappie fillets. Grouper, when caught in Florida, has to be at least 24" long so I don't know where they get fillets this small unless they cut them off of the tail section of the fillets themselves. Every piece of Grouper that I have ever had was about a 1/2" thick or more. Honestly, I am quite sure that it wasn't Grouper and if it was, it was the worst Grouper I have ever had. The Gator Bites were very good as Gator seems to taste the same everywhere. Kind of expensive for the amount you do get though but I would get them again. The red beans and rice were as good as any that I have ever had in New Orleans and were worth the trip. Not sure that I would go back but if I do I believe that I would pick out the fillet myself and have them cook it. Pretty disappointing just for the fact that I looking forward to having Grouper without having to go to Florida to have it. The person I was with had the Coconut Shrimp Dinner with 10 large butterflied shrimp, slaw and red beans and rice. She was very pleased with it. The bill for the sandwich with one side and drink, Coconut Shrimp Dinner, drink and a side order of Gator Bites came to just over 72.00 with tax. Was expecting a good memory for that kind of price. Service was very good and friendly and the place was clean. read more

Best fresh seafood in Indianapolis, by far. The sides are all amazing. I've loved everything I've tried there. Quick & friendly service!

Outstandingly fresh, I always buy the fish out of the counter and pay them 3 dollars to fry it for me and get two small sides. Water to drink and they normally will give you a hushpuppy with it. .. 25.00. read more
