    Stumbled upon this place searching for a fried fish restaurant and this little shack hits the spot. It's on Atlantic and Burnett. Tried the 4 piece fish (tilapia) and 2 sides (fries) (coleslaw). My husband tried the catfish with fries and hush puppies. The fish tasted fresh and not to heavy on your stomach. The fries were just okay for me they were on the thick cut side. Best to eat everything fresh unless you have an air fryer to reheat, fried fish does not taste the same in the microwave. It does take a a little while to get your food. Ordered ahead online and it took about 8 minutes after the order said it would be ready for it to be ready for me to pick up. It seemed popular but fast paste service. It's not in the best part of Long Beach but you are able to park and order without having to search for parking.

    After doing some laundry down the street I remember hearing about The Fish Shack. I decided to give it a shot! Glad I did. Very friendly and food is definitely made to order as I had to wait, which I'm not upset about. The food was delicious and I'll definitely be back! This is a place to order your food and go home to eat it. Parking lot is small but easy to get in and out.

    Best fried catfish I've had in some years. Fresh, seasoned and perfectly cooked. Fish is flaky , moist & crispy. Shrimp was also crispy & seasoned well. Fries are fresh & salted to perfection. Sauces are made in house. Service was great and informative. This really is a small family business, strictly to go ordering , no tables just great food.

    Finally, a good fish house close to home so now i don't have to drive all the way to north long beach for it. I got the jumpo shrimp combo and yes they tasted good and the batter was nice and crispy! Fries average just like most spots. The potato salad was good. They have fish, chicken, oyster and shrimp so lots to pick from. The lady taking my order was sweet. They have dessert which i should have got one but i will on the next trip. Not many good fish spots in long beach but this one is solid! Shrimp Plate 8.8/10 very good and you get 8 nice size shrimps Onion rings 8.0/10

    I like the way they box up fish dinners it was still very crispy when I arrived home.

    Do you love fried fish if so this is the place for you this is my second time eating at The Fish Shack and I'll let you know my take on the food. The Fish Shack is located in a busy street with a huge parking lot so pull up it's for to go orders only the staff is youngish and very nice. They have an extensive menu what do you want red snapper, fried oysters shrimp or fried okra whatever you desire I'm sure it's on the menu. I decided on a combination meal it came with 3 pieces of fried red snapper, 5 fried shrimp seasoned fries 3 hush puppies and a dinner roll. -- Red snapper 3 pieces I asked them to fry it extra crispy it was seasoned very well very crispy and perfectly cooked It was 5/5 -- You must ask them to fry the fish extra crispy. Fried Shrimp medium size. Seasoned perfectly and crispy enough to eat the shell on the tail they were so good. 5/5 French Fries Crispy standard frozen fries crispy sprinkled lightly with seasoned salt they were sooo good hot and fresh. 4/5 Hush Puppies Nice and crunchy great seasoning and completely cooked inside I loved them. 4/5 Dinner roll Standard roll/bread very dry it was just ok. 2/5 The meal came with two free sauces of my choice but they have four from which you can choose I paid .50 each extra for two more. -- Remoulade sauce delicious. Hot sauce standard and good. Tartar sauce standard and good. Seafood sauce standard and good. -- All of them were good they're just your standard average store bought sauces very good and they all go well with the fish shrimp and fries FYI I dipped the fries in everything and it was the bomb. Everything I ordered was delicious and I would order them all again the food was fresh and not fishy very crispy and seasoned well I was pleased. My first visit on during the grand opening was a very long wait in line which I expected because it was packed -- however the food was expensive and everything I ordered was under seasoned and not very crispy so I'm glad to see that wasn't an issue today and the quality issues have improved. Consistency is what I look for when I revisit restaurants and based on the current good reviews and my experience today it's looking real good for The Fish Shack. 4/5 today. -- Maybe I'll up the rating after two more visits if the food quality is consistent. Stop by and show your support and as I always say in the summertime after lunch or dinner head straight down Atlantic towards Ocean and visit The Aquarium or the Pike you will thank me. Just me Shawn C. Bye for now. .

The fish was excellent--crispy and crunchy on the outside, while staying tender and flaky on the inside. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, and the tartar sauce paired perfectly with it.

We both went with the Deluxe Platter (1 fish, 1 jumbo shrimp, and 5 scallops, served with fries) and had a cup of water to drink. Took about 10 minutes for them to freshly fry everything. We ate there. Speaking of the inside where we ate. Hot as a motherfucker! Seriously, sweating. Not sure if their AC was broke or what, but it was hot in there! Anyways...to the food...... How was it? Eh...just ok. Deluxe Platter- Looked great! Tasted, just ok. The shrimp was delicious, wish I had gotten all shrimp. The scallops were pretty good too. It said it comes with 5 scallops, but we each got at least 8 or 9. They were small, but tasty. The fish though, a little disappointed. It was "watery" and the batter had absolutely no salt/seasoning on it. Same with the fries. No salt at all. My Mom liked it better than I did, but even she complained that it needed salt. The owners were super friendly and I'm glad they do a good business. Might be a one and done for me though.

I love fried chicken, and this style is not my style, it okey, flavorful and the pieces are small. For some reason the legs is more juicier than the thighs (abit dried for my taste). The hot sauce is over power of vignette so a it too sour for me but not enough spicy. The fish, however is perfectly cooked and coded. Juicy inside and perfectly thin crusty outside. The tartar sauce is abit off for me but eating by itself is just fine for me. Fries are good but I'm not into it so..but perfectly cooked and crunchy and pipping hot. For me, the fish here is WAY much better than the chicken from the size, the taste and the favor...so good.

Salt, I remembered coming to H Salt as a kid, so I had to stop and grab some food for my mom as well. When I pulled into the parking lot, I quickly realized it's more of a one-way driveway setup. I almost ended up in an argument with another driver who was blocking the path and nearly backed into me. I'd honestly recommend finding street parking or parking nearby if possible. Once inside, there were quite a few customers. The atmosphere felt very old-school and slower paced, with more of an older crowd. The girl taking the order was very friendly, which I appreciated. I ordered the Three P's fish and chips, jumbo shrimp, and a large coleslaw. After taking it home, I thought the fish tasted light and fresh, and the fries were pretty good too. Overall, I thought it was decent. My mom, however, felt the food was a little soggy and could've been cooked a bit longer. She also mentioned the batter on the fish had a slightly sweet taste, almost like a donut or cake batter rather than a traditional fish batter. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily go far out of my way for it, but if you're already in the area, I'd say it's worth trying at least once.
