Stopped here yesterday for lunch. I had heard good things but had never been in myself no had an appointment nearby and stopped after for lunch. I am so glad I did. It was fantastic! I had the salmon sandwich grilled with old bay seasoning and remoulade sauce. I had buffalo chips and their collard greens as sides with two bonus hush puppies too. The food was so delicious! Fresh and so good. The collard greens were the best in town as advertised. Chips were the perfect mix of crispy and soft and came out hot and fresh. The sandwich was the bomb and I finished everything. I even took home some seafood pasta salad, Cajun crab dip and spinach crab dip. All of those are great too. The service was also above and beyond. Tim Armstrong, the market manager, brought the food out and made sure everything was perfect. He was helpful and kind and you could tell he cared about the customers, the good, and the restaurant. Excellent service and excellent food. I will definitely be back. read more

If you want delicious and incredible seafood this is the place. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We love the new outdoor seating.

Most reviews have been good, but I am sorry I did not have a good experience with my husband last week, for $42.00 it was really subpar, the wait out on the parking lot was over half an hour, by the time we got home the fries were soggy, the coleslaw had way to much mayonnaise and I had an unidentified fried object in my fries, the salmon was ok, my husband wasn't impressed either, sorry , we might give them another chance sometime but overall for the money , Not impressed at all. The caplingers trailer in Pendleton Pike is better read more

This was on my list to try for awhile. So happy we did!! It was unbelievably good. It is a seafood market and also a place for people to sit down and eat their food there. Very busy spot around dinner time. I want to try so many more of their items. I got the lobster roll. It was great. Huge pieces of lobster like I was in Maine again. I got the cornbread and it came with two hush puppies. Cornbread is ok. Hush puppies are really really good. We also had the green beans, amazing and the coleslaw-also amazing. My meal came with candied yams. Tasted like thanksgiving. Husband's meal came with Mac and cheese which tasted like the best comfort food ever. He got the Platter which was a good array of many specialties at Caplingers. I loved the fresh grilled seafood. Made me think I was on the coast. Right here in Indy!! read more

service was quick and they were so chill. food got out so quick anf i was out the door. the grouper sandwich i got was a 10/10. definitely coming back. read more

Food is good service is on par, ambiance is nice however the restaurant on Shadeland is very small.

So excited for this new location. There's no other comparable locally owned restaurant on the southside. Got takeout on a very busy holiday (we expected them to be slow/busy) but they were gracious. Everything was good -- the basa and po boy were *delicious.* We'll be back. read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Shrimp po boy (bottom) and Caplinger's special (top) - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Awesome seafood.Clam chowder and great customer service. Try the Ed m you will not be disappointed.

Very friendly staff. Good food. Loved the bread pudding. Gave us sample of tuna salad. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!

Caplinger's Special is a regular for me. It's delicious...I prefer fried. I love the collared greens as a side. The hush puppies aren't for me, but most people love them...any onion is too much (for me) and there is definitely some in there. Order online and save yourself some time. read more

Food is amazing! Fish is fresh and can be cooked however you want it too. The only complaint I have is the dining room is too small to service everyone who comes. Tight entrance makes it hard to move around. I suggest ordering your food to go. Outside eating is far removed from the restaurant- not accessible and hot during the summer months. read more

First time there. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and quick. To your table.

Have been wanting to try for a while, will definitely be back. We ordered to go as inside was packed. Took a while but was worth the wait. I had the Caplinger special, very good! Some of the best collard greens I have had. Husband had the cod dinner and it was good too. I loved the hush puppies, no onions & a little sweet. So many things I want to try. read more

I had the lobster melt and clem chowder, both were perfect. Well seasoned, tasted amazing. My girlfriend had the shrimp dinner with collard greens and yams, again all was cooked perfectly and delicious. John is the kitchen is killing it, great work. read more

Use to go frequently to the one in Whitestown but after they closed I discovered their booth at the AMP. Where their fish and shrimp are just as good as it was in Whitestown. I have friends that live at Ft. Harrison & I plan to take them to the Shadeland Ave. location to check it out. I haven't been to that one but I expect that it to be just as good. I love their Shrimp Po Boy. It can't be beat. read more

It's great finally getting a Caplinger's on the south side! I had always heard about the other one being so good but is quite a distance from here! The restaurant definitely lives up to my expectations and is one of my favorites! They do their fish right!!! read more

Walleye, shrimp, basa, and chipotle slaw were all amazing, okra was solid as well. Great and friendly service.

We bought salmon from the fish market and it was delicious. Great service and fresh food.

Caplinger's deserves no less than 5 stars for their Seafood alone. Their sides are first rate as well. As far as their Seafood other than Florida & East Coast locations where seafood is readily available and right there, Caplinger's is the best we can possibly get in Indiana. read more

Awesome fresh fish market. The smoked tuna salad is phenomenal. This is definitely the best place for fresh fish in the area.

Fabulous seafood for Indiana, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Whatever you order will be worth it!

Great place to eat seafood. There is a great variety and options. I haven't had anything I wouldn't order again. Just wish there was a little better seating. read more

10/10 - the hush puppies are so good! the greens are some of the best out of a restaurant. the mac & cheese is good! read more

Finally open on the south Side! Next to the American Legion on South Meridian Street. Same excellent seafood counter as on the Northside. Great cooked, or uncooked seafood. Super friendly people, visit soon! read more

Caplingers is the real deal. Shoutout to Tim who assisted us because we had never been there before, his break down of the menu and suggestions were extremely helpful. The staff was friendly and personable. The food was pretty good. I had the catfish with Mac and cheese and candied yams. My wife had catfish, hush puppies, and fried okra. I also had some gator bites (they really do taste like chicken) the sauce that came with the bites was really tasty. Excited to go back and try some of the other items and purchase some of the fresh fish from the market. Wait time wasn't bad either considering everything is being made fresh. Definitely check this place out when you get a chance! read more

I had been planning a visit to this establishment for a while and was excited to try it. When I arrived, it looked great! I ordered the seafood Philly melt based on a recommendation. The melt was $24.00. I was asked if I wanted to make it a combo, so I added 2 sides, which added $8.00 to the price. Then I was asked what drink I wanted. This cost yet another $3.00. You would have thought that a combo would include a drink but not here! This meal now costs over $32.00 with tax. When the food arrived, I was appalled! The sides were VERY small, 6 hushpuppies, and the collard greens were in a little plastic cup. I have gotten bigger cups of ketchup! Needless to say, paying an additional 8$ for this was absurd! Now the sandwich. Based on the description in the menu, I was expecting actual pieces of seafood. What I got was a small sandwich roll with 3 shrimp and something that resembled minced seafood. I couldn't even tell what type of seafood it was. it could have been ground up whitefish for all I knew. This was all covered with melted cheese. Needless to say, it was extremely disappointing. The only reason that I gave 2 stars was, even though the sides were extremely overpriced and quite small portions, they were very tasty. I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

We've now ordered 3 times and the food has been very good. Sometimes we had to wait 20-30 minutes for carry out but it's worth it. The alligator is especially good since you can't find that elsewhere. The catfish sandwich also very good. Will be a regular there! read more

Excellent grilled alligator. Wish the prices were cheaper so I can go more often. Not their fault. Inflation affects everyone

While the food was good I was extremely disappointed to see the staff wearing face shields and no masks. This is not adequate protection and is not in compliance with CDC guidelines. For this reason I will not return at least until things settle. read more

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

I come to Indiana on business every month and this is the best value in town. All the fish is super fresh and delicious. The employees are all gracious and this is literally a must go to fish spot. 10 stars! read more

The raw oysters were huge and my husband loved them. I had the fried cod and it was delicious. I feel like sone of the stuff is a little over priced but overall great experience!! read more

Very seldom do I ever write a negative review. However today I was sorely disappointed. Placed an order online. Went to pick up the order they told me 10 minutes. Stood there onehour and 30 minutes. Several people told me they seen my order five minutes 10 minutes.I stayed there 90 minutes ended up walking out with no order and no refund. Words cannot express the disappointment that I have. read more

They replicated the Northside success! My wife and I grabbed our first sampling shortly after the opening and it was great. The Caplinger's Special is always my favorite and my Wife enjoys the Po-boys. Thrilled to have a location closer to our home! read more

Excellent fish and good service. It is our new to us favorite place. We have been there 4 times in 2 months. It is a 50 minute drive, but close to my brother. It is expensive but worth it. The silverware is not worthy of the food. We will back soon read more

Finally made it to Caplinger's...It was great! The Southside hasn't had a good seafood restaurant for years but happily they do now! Very friendly and helpful staff. My husband and i had the blackened grouper..it was perfectly cooked and delicious! Not a fancy place but thats OK. We definitely will be going back! read more

Let me tell you something great about this place! Tonight was a busy night for these folks. And no matter how long the wait was and a little grumpy customers because they were "waiting long" even though when the customers knew ahead of time of the wait, they still wanted to be grumpy. The Caplingers team held their heads up high and still kept their positivity to move along. One of the employees even went above and beyond to locate a customer in the parking lot. This is what the world should look like, such display of kindness and positivity! Thank you Caplinger family for being you!! read more

We had heard so many good things about the east side location that we had high expectations for the south side location. We've only picked up cooked food. It appears they have a big selection of raw fresh fish & will try that before stopping our patronage. read more

It was Friday night not long after the grand opening months ago. It's just inexcusable to have old-tasting food with stale breading. It had been under the warmer for entirely too long. read more

Their philly is amazing it's a bit pricey but oh so good if you haven't been you must try . The fried soft shell crab was excellent it was the first time I've ever had blue crab . Love that it's down the steeet from my home read more

I didn't think I liked fish. Oh my! Delicious sandwich. Basa sandwich with hush puppies. Excellent!
