I finally tried this place. I got the three piece dover sole. It wasn't bad. The fish pieces were super small, like child size. It was prepared ok. A little on the edge of overcooked at the ends, but the very thin center was fine. The food took a very long time and the place was basically empty. The service was fine and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is, I dunno, I'll just say non existent is all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't take any pics because there was nothing worth photographing. They do have a parking lot. read more

Walked in here when my boyfriend was busy getting his sandwiches next door. When I visited I believe that they were recently changing management or ownership because the pictures and menu were different from what I saw from Yelp and also they were trying to sell one of their TV's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was super clean albeit the sun was shining real hard into it, making it super hot even when it was December.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is polite and friendly. It wasn't a super busy weekday morning, but I got my food out decently quickly. They also have some real bang for your buck deals that are worth it for what you pay for. There's every day deals and special daily deals. Actually deals galore. Since I just wandered in, I ordered some of their bang for your buck specials. I got their: 1) Bologna Burger: -Never in all of my days have I seen or even heard of a bologna burger until now. I've only had bologna in school lunch sandwiches so this was a nice twist on a nostalgic food. -It's bologna in a burger bun with mayo and grilled onion. -Simple, yet delicious. -Not bad for $3. 2) Fish Sandwich: -This was $3.50 and came out piping hot as it was freshly fried, I believe? -You can get whiting, swai, or snapper for the fish. I got the snapper since it's the most familiar to me. -Perfectly breaded and seasoned. Moist and fluffy for the meat inside. Goes great with the mayo sauce included. I'll make sure to stop by here every time we're getting sandwiches next door. read more

First time here in more than a decade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was cleaner than I remember and the man behind the counter was nice and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I found the menu had a lot to choose from and the prices were relatively reasonable. I got the red snapper lunch special. For around $12.00, I got three pieces of fish, fries and a side. I chose the hush puppies. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I enjoyed the food. I'm just intrigued enough to return and try some different menu items. read more

I was told by my neighbor to try the Fishery & More in Pasadena on Lake & Mountain. I wasn't sure what to order because I was told that she tried several items on the menu and she enjoyed all of them. I decided to order from the Sunday Brunch Menu!!!!! All I can say is the Shrimp & Grits were "Delicious" and the Lemon Pepper Chicken so "Yummy" Everything was Hot, Fresh and just right... Brunch on Sunday ; ) You'll thank me later. Customer Service, Vibe was 100% read more

My family and I have been going to the fishery for decades; since I was a child. We would order Large Box of Fried Sole. I have to say under new ownership we tried twice and we are not coming back. It's unfortunate because we really love the flavor but the sole fish is SUPER THIN. There's no meat and the price is $37.00! Come on now. I hope they change this so we can continue supporting our local restaurant. read more

First time trying this spot. I was in the area and wanted to support a local business--the photos on Yelp looked great, so I came in with high hopes. I ordered the fried fish, expecting something savory and well-seasoned, but it fell short. The breading looked promising, yet after the first bite it just wasn't hitting. The flavor wasn't there--honestly, the fries had more seasoning than the fish. I really wanted to like it, and I hope this feedback helps them improve, because the presentation did have potential. One other note: the menu setup is a little confusing. The main items are listed on the wall above the register, but other dishes and specials are scattered around the restaurant. P.S. If the owner ever wants help from a graphic designer to make the menu clearer and more customer-friendly, I'd be happy to lend a hand. read more

10/10 I started going here since their new owner got involved and everything tastes homemade and flavorful. So far I've tried the red snappers and the catfish lunch special and can tell it's fresh and not frozen. The portions were generous and enough to share or save for later. Not only that, the desserts are a must-have. The peach cobbler and carrot cake is the best in town. read more

This is a hidden gem in Pasadena. They have flavorful soul food fried fish meals, shrimp, greens, yams, etc. They have a huge selection of fish to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the Manager, Joe is amazing. He is the most kindhearted human being I have ever met in the food industry. He was very accommodating, nurturing, sweet, and fun. If you're in the Pasadena area and want some good fried/or grilled fish, go eat here you will not be disappointed. All orders are made fresh. Note: Practical prices and you can choose one of each fish for your meal depending on what you order. I did not like the green beans they needed a little more flavor and the yams were just ok. But everything else was very good. They have sweet potato pie and peach cobbler. I had the sweet potato pie and it was good. read more

Fishery & More is under new management and the food is AMAZING! The seafood is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. I especially love the southern-style sides. they really set this place apart and make the meals feel comforting and homemade. The service is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they care about the quality of what they're serving. Definitely a hidden gem in Pasadena that's worth checking out if you're craving good seafood and authentic southern sides! read more

I tried, the fishery isn't the same. I tried giving the new ownership a second chance. I first visited the new fishery a couple weeks ago and I ordered the Whiting. I immediately called after purchasing and spoke to the gentleman and explained to him that my fish taste like jerky, the fish was over cooked. He stated that I can come back and get another order & he loved the feedback. Update: I went in again today couple weeks later I ordered the catfish and shrimp meal. The shrimp was overcooked. It's extremely hard and rubbery. I couldn't even eat my shrimp & I'm not calling again about it, so that leads me here. The macaroni and cheese is in such a small cup and made no sense for it to be $2.75 then the french fries was fried extremely hard and for $18 the catfish was a piece split in half if that. The portions are extremely small compared to what it was before for the price. I guess that it works for them, but it won't work for me. I won't be back. I'm going back to the Pasadena Fish market. I will say that my Whiting did taste better. This time than the first time I purchased. The catfish was cool taste a bit old. The ma & cheese was good but TINY..For the price the fish should be out so we can see what we're purchasing like before and FRESH! read more

More people need to know about this place! Price vs quality is absurd!! I got two tacos, one fish and one shrimp, and the grilled pork sandwich and I'm already thinking of the next time I can go. The fish and shrimp were battered just right with the right amount of crisp while not taking away from the actual meat. While the seafood is great I thought the grilled pork sandwich was the star. For only $4 you get a juicy slice of pork with lettuce, grilled onion, and sauce I could only dream of. A true mom and pop shop with great service and great food that deserves more customers. read more

Wow what a nice hidden gem! I first came to this plaza to pick up some sandwiches from Roma's but couldn't resist trying their $3 fish sandwich that they posted on the window of their store. I ordered the Swai because the owner said that one would be the flakiest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner and his wife were very friendly and kept their store very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered two of the fish sandwiches and they let me pay with card with no transaction fees! The batter they used for the fish was fresh and the tartar sauce was light and flavorful! So much better than McDonald's fish fillet and the fish piece is so much bigger than McDonald's. Will come back here to try more items on their menu! read more

Good value and good quality. Everything was tasty. A little bit over done on the fryer. No subtlety as a tempura can be. Just a straight fry. read more

Super great service! The Food was amazing!! They always take care of us as customers we will continue to come back!! Thank you to the kind girls and new owner for making this place amazing!! Looking forward to seeing how much more it improves I know good things are coming! read more

New owner really upgraded the menu. You can tell there's love that goes into the new and existing items. Many of the items are homemade, and the flavor reflects. Highlights include: Mac n cheese, red snapper, banana pudding, and carrot cake. 5/5 stars. Would recommend. read more

$3 fish sandwich posted on the window. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop/restaurant looked very bare.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Store didn't smell fishy so that's good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their display of fish was also very minimal which I didn't mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Display case for frozen seafood is unnecessary.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered and I stood there. They fry the fish fresh to order. I got 2 $3 fish sandwiches. It's important to mention. Where can you get a fish sandwich for $3. Super simple burger bun, light tartar sauce, and a piece of fresh fried snapper. You can choose snapper, whiting or swai fish. Simplicity. read more

I decided to give them another try, from my understanding they were under new ownership and the menu looks like they are. Fish fry Friday we ordered from the "new" fishery, my order was as follows 1 jar of oysters which was salted for the cows, meaning cows need the salt for their health, catfish and whiting basket..sigh, my sides were Mac salad, just ok because it was store bought, green beans with potatoes and me ( per the menu) However my green beans didn't have meat, potatoes or seasoning, I guess the tariffs are hitting the price of seasonings something fierce. As far the service I ordered over the phone but the younglady that took my order was pleasant, thank you however it didn't make up for the $74.00 spent on that salt lick unseasoned tariff stricken food. We'll see how long this will last, I suggest they take a loan out to purchase seasonings especially if you're using can food. Here's a little trick for your green beans since they came right of the can into a pot onto your customers plate without any meat use some placebos to jazz them up, and don't be afraid to season them and again if the tariffs are the reason for the lack of seasoning get a big jug of a ALL purpose seasoning. read more

Ordered the seafood platter with fish, non-jumbo shrimps, and oyster. It comes with two sides. At $15 it's such a hearty lunch. They fried the shrimp and oysters to perfect crisp. I couldn't even imagine how the oysters 'folds' can turn into amazing crispy textures. The shrimps are perfect crisps as well. I got party in my mouth. Oysters are a bit 'strong', but balance them with the fish and shrimps, then it's an amazing treat of rich flavors. The shrimp was my favorite. And the oyster's perfect crisp makes them my second favorite. The fish, which was snapper, was quite underwhelming but still okay overall. The peach cobbler is amazing too. Definitely will come again to try their jumbo shrimp. read more

Had the Snapper combo and it was delicious! Joe is provides top notch service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's clean and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back! read more

Fishery & More - 3 Piece Snapper Filet Lunch - Seafood Near Me - Pasadena, California

The new owners have destroyed the fishery. I came here today for the first time since the change in ownership and ordered a catfish dinner special. The fish was not fresh, dry, and overly breaded. The fries were also dry and the hush puppies over cooked. The previous owner provided decent portions and well seasoned fish, and most importantly the first was fresh!!! It looks like I will be going back to the Pasadena Fish Market for my fried first cravings(despite the long wait times).. read more

Great prices, fresh seafood. Friendly staff. All the hallmarks of a great local eatery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very bare-bones interior, and the fish display seems bare: better take -out than in-house... but the price and flavor make up for the lack of atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great spot for fried fish. The food was cooked perfectly, crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was fast, and the staff was really friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

This place is under rated and over looked. Had the fish sandwich for the first time this week. Well fried , the bun was warm and soft.

Southern style fish fry spot. This place is definitely hole-in-the-wall drab looking bare-bones no frills. What caught my attention was the constant flow of people picking up take-out. I was next door at Roma Market and I thought why not give this place a try. The menu is small and mostly fried items: Dover Sole, Whiting, Catfish, Snapper, Perch, Shrimp, Jar Oysters, and Chicken wings. Sides: Hush puppies, Potato Salad, Mac Salad, Green Salad, Crinkle Fries, Yams, Collard Greens, String Beans Drinks: Canned Soda/Water. Dessert: Cobbler. I got the COMBO BOX #2 (Five pieces of fish and jumbo shrimp; jar of oysters with two sides included). Everything was good despite the low star ratings here. Seafood seasoning was good. The oyster and shrimp were my favorite. The snapper was fried crunchy and hard which is fine, maybe ask for a "medium fry" if you want more moisture to the fish. Such a random find and I would definitely come back! read more

New owners. Great food. Good prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back soon. I had the $3 fish sandwich special, battered shrimp with fries, cold spicy shrimp, and coleslaw. It was all great. Go visit and help this mom & pop restaurant thrive. read more

The breading they use here is very light and crispy! I love their fish burger. Look out fillet-o- fish! The bologna sandwich is delicious too, It takes me back to my childhood. Owner is great and you can't beat the prices!! read more

The fish sandwiches are an absurdly good deal, and delicious too. Don't expect anything complicated it's fried fish, mayo and bread, but IT IS GOOD. Would recommend the swai or ask the owner for recs on which fish is good.

I was very disappointed in this place. I paid for a 2 piece fish and shrimp special and was horrified at what I got. Before I continue, the lady taking the order was genera pleasant, but that's the only nice thing I can say. The 2 pieces of fried fish Talapia turned out to be one piece of malnourished fish cut in half. Then abused further by over frying it into fish jerky. The 6 pieces of shrimp were no better off. It was fried so long it became dried rubber. French fries - the only salvaged part of meal - again burned!! I could only eat a couple. I wish I had my money back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]while waiting, I saw a couple roaches trying to escape over the red carpet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] z that was a clue. I so wanted to like the place. But they failed me as a customer. Oh, they store their frying oil in the bathroom next to the toilet. I'm pretty certain that's breaking health codes. I looked, and I did find a Health Department rating anywhere. read more

I like the fried fish here. The store lady was very nice when I came. Cannot sit down, must be carried to go

I tried this spot out few days ago and to my pleasant surprise found out the food here is DELICIOUS!!! I got the fried catfish, oysters, and shrimp with Cole slaw and potato salad as a side. Fried food was PERFECTLY SEASONED, not too salty, not too bland. Sides were yummy too. Cole slaw was not overly sweet like KFC and was super fresh. Also, I ate the rest of the leftover food next day and it still tasted good. Will definitely be back!!! read more
