    Perch

    I ordered the small perch dinner. When they said small they meant it. 3 of the smallest fish fillets I've ever had. My food was also cold. We also ordered 3 legs crispy and got them burnt. Paid 30 bucks. Over priced for quality. I will not return here.

    I made my second visit to Fish Express today, and this place is a winner. Forget sentiments like "as soon as I walked through the door, I could smell that this would be a great meal." At Fish Express, that experience starts in the parking lot. This place is all about deep-frying, and that focus really shows. They know exactly what they're doing, and they always hit the mark: hot, juicy on the inside, crispy and golden brown on the outside. As was mentioned in a previous review, Fish Express does a lot of phone-in business. I was able to order after standing at the counter for about a minute, and that doesn't bug me a bit. I ordered a catfish (filet) and wings combo. Combos come with two slices of white bread, coleslaw, and a choice of fries or rice. I opted for fries. Pricetag: $7.95. The cashier told me "it'll be ready in thirteen minutes." I was impressed by the precision. Twelve-and-a-half minutes later, my order was ready. I accepted an offer of hot sauce and made for the door. When I got home about ten minutes later, I opened the container and got to business. The fries were crispy, and perfectly seasoned. I'm normally a big fan of ketchup on fries, but these simply didn't need it. It seemed like they may have been lightly battered, but I couldn't tell for sure. The catfish, now ten minutes out of the fryer, was still piping hot. It had a great, mild flavor, and was delicious dipped in hot sauce. Unlike the fries and fish, the wings had cooled a bit. They were pretty tasty, but not "damn that's good" good like the fish. I filled up quick enough that I didn't touch the bread and had only a taste of the coleslaw. It was coleslaw. As you might expect, the food does hit you pretty hard, so if you're in the mood for a light salad, this might not fit the bill. If you've got an appetite and/or a long day of hard work ahead of you, you'll be just fine.

    Gizzards and fried pollock for the 2-combo dinner
    Anita L.

    Checked this place out after the Yelp email came out -- surprisingly good! It is in a sketchy neighborhood, but this place was packed on Saturday night! Even though I called in, it still took about 10-15 minutes even after I arrived. It is a lot of food for the price, and they are quite heavy handed on the seasoning. I think it's a lemon pepper seasoning. For my 2 combo dinner, I ordered cornmeal coated pollock and gizzards. It also came with 2 slices of white bread underneath, fries, and coleslaw (you can order double fries in lieu of the coleslaw). It also came with a drink! All for $10. I couldn't even finish half of it.

    Chicken with Feathers is so gross

    Food is ok but the uncleaned Chicken with the Feathers is not good as at all. Cooks should never touch their hair when cooking

    5 stars before and 5 stars now. I love salty food and this hits the spot perfectly. Well fried food at an affordable price ; definitely recommend over Popeyes or KFC!

    Don't bother going here until after the virus is over. Talk about disorganized and slow. What a joke.

    Just be aware that when you order the catfish fillets, you're being served a cheaper fish called Swai. It's common practice in restaurants.

    Always great take away food. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded and a tad slow. But this because The Fish Express is such a good deal.

My husband had their Michigan Honey Amber. We had their signature appetizers, Bavarian pretzels and Beer cheese. The pretzels were bite-sized and paired with a significantly larger portion of beer cheese. The beer cheese is house-made dip and is creamy and infused with one of their craft brews. My husband had the blackened shrimp tacos. The tacos are packed with well-seasoned blackened shrimp and a refreshing slaw. The tacos were served on a blend of corn and flour tortillas, which were sturdy enough to hold up perfectly against the generous, packed fillings. Latitude 42 also operates its own micro-distillery, producing a signature Bourbon Whiskey, Gins and Rums, which are sold on site. The menu is extensive and offers a variety of handhelds, pizza and seafood options. There were many families while we were there. Overall, food and drinks were very good.

Unfortunately, when we visited this most recent time, the market was not working so I ordered a flight with my dinner. It did eventually start up as we were getting ready to leave, and everything was super high so we didn't participate in the fun. I ordered the Honey Chicken sandwich with the cheese curds and it was honestly delicious. The chicken was good and a perfect blend of savory and sweet, the sandwich came with lettuce, freezer pickle and ranch. The cheese curds were surprisingly some of the best I've had and were perfect with a bit of ranch. I'd have the meal again and hopefully next time, the exchange is up and running! :)

The chips were great too and our bartender suggested we get their french onion dip too. Also delicious. The service was great and friendly and the vibe overall was really enjoyable. Don't often head out to Kalamazoo, but would definitely stop by again if I was in the area!
