The food was great and the prices are reasonable. The decor is not overwhelming and the staff needs to be more attentive. FishTaled is definitely worth a visit.
From the outside, Fish Tales doesn't look like much. In fact, it looked so bad that we waited almost a year after moving to the area to visit. Boy were we wrong! We decided to stop in this week. The food was delicious, and they had a good variety of options at a fair price. We are from Florida, and the restaurant reminded us of the cool themed seafood restaurants we have enjoyed in Cocoa Beach, Clearwater and Orlando. It was nice to experience a restaurant that is not the same old mountain vibe. The Services's excellent as well. We will DEFINITELY be back sooner rather than later. The only suggestion I would have would be to beautify the exterior - add some plants, some fresh paint, maybe a key west style bench or Adirondack chairs.
It's been a long while since I've eaten at Fish Tales but we thought we would give it a try. This is a seafood/sandwich place in Norton, Virginia a few miles from the ocean. We are hoping this doesn't affect the freshness of the food. We were seated immediately with televisions all around for your sport watching needs. The waitress is very nice and gives us our time to determine what we wanted to eat from the menu. My wife selected the small flounder with home fries and cole slaw with Diet Coke to drink. I selected the large flounder with baked potato and rice, water to drink. The atmosphere is good not too loud at this time. Country radio station playing over the televisions sound. The food, cole slaw best I've had in a while, rice good, baked potato ok been sitting drying out for a little while, the flounder a bit tasteless except for the tarter sauce. I've got to say once you've had Hymans Flounder in Savannah Georgia all others can't compare. Overall good meal, order the cole slaw if you get nothing else. Appears clean
Great gem along the 23/26 corridor. It's just barely off the highway in a strip mall that doesn't do justice to the restaurant. The atmosphere is appropriately pirate / nautical themed, and comfortable. We had no wait on a 1pm lunch visit while traveling for the holidays. The waitress was very friendly and gave good recommendations when asked. She was knowledgeable about the food and answered our questions easily. They offer some barbecue and other dishes, but we stuck with the seafood. The 2 item platters were large or small for $15/$12. I had a small chicken tender and whitefish platter with home style fries and breaded okra. My wife had the catfish platter with green beans and corn on the cob. Our son had the burger and regular fries. Highlights: The chicken tenders (suggested by the waitress) were amazingly good. Hand breaded and seasoned well. The honey mustard dipping sauce was great - thin and sweet. The catfish was also great. Well seasoned and well cooked. The hush puppies were the best I've had in some time. They are about the size of a grape, and mildly sweet. They were not greasy at all. Regrets: the whitefish was very tough - we thought overcooked, but not burnt, so hard to say. It didn't taste bad, mind you, just tough. The green beans (canned, obviously) were too fibrous to eat. We asked our waitress about home style fries vs regular fries. She said one starts in the kitchen as a potato and the other is frozen in a bag. I suggest the home style fries. My only regret about them is that they're served under the pile of fish/chicken, so they're kind of soggy. The other sides were good, though it can be hard to screw up fried okra from a bag. We travel this route frequently, and I can assure you that we will be back.
Decided on a burger when I went to Fish Tales today during the lunch hour. Very good burger and fries, with the hushpuppies coming with the meal. The price was very reasonable for a lunch price, and the burger was really good. They were a little busy due to someone mot showing up fir work, but the staff didn't let that interfere with pleasing the customer. The establishment was clean and well decorated in ocean decor with autumn decorations as well. Soft music playing in the background and a rv with sports highlights being shown as well read more

Went for lunch with my 86 year old father in law. The vibe inside was relaxing. The waitress was super friendly and took excellent care of us. Fried seafood was fresh and portion size was fair at least. Beer was cold. Overall a great 1st time experience for us. Plan to return soon. read more

Was staying in town for a night and decided to try this place. Got the supreme platter with flounder. Food is inexpensive. Fish and large shrimps were pretty good. Everything else was ok. read more

Super pleasantly surprised! The seafood is good for the price and tasty. I had the crab legs and they give you a good amount for 19.99 (market price right now). The waitress was lovely and our food was cooking for a while but that doesn't surprise me much, since there was a huge party right beside us. Would recommend! read more
