The Bartow, Florida, area knows its seafood, as its spread of spot-on restaurants shows. Those on the hunt for a quality lunch or dinner of fish and chips have plenty of options to choose from. We suggest visiting these fantastic restaurants for some of the tastiest fish and chips you’ll find in the area:
Catfish Country
If you’re looking for great fish in Bartow, head to Catfish Country. Rather than try to fit all seafood lovers into one fish-and-chips category, their menu lets you choose your flavor: catfish, haddock, alligator, clams, and more. Each comes with slaw, a hushpuppy, buttermilk biscuits, and your choice of side. You can make it a true fish and chips meal, or replace the chips with a baked potato, mashed potatoes, cheese grits, or any of their other classic sides. Whichever you choose, you can expect a great, filling meal.
If you’re dining with people who aren’t as crazy about fish and chips as you are, Catfish Country’s menu has them covered as well. Start off with an appetizer of chicken wings, gumbo, or lobster bisque before moving onto the healthy broiler-cooked fish or delicious fried fish. This restaurant’s thought-out menu earns it the top place on our list.
The Proper Pie Company
For fantastic English-style fish and chips, pay a visit to the Proper Pie Company. Since 2008, this restaurant has solidified itself as the go-to place for soul-warming English food, especially fish and chips. The batter they use is light and crisp, and their tartar sauce is homemade. Whether you go for the cod or the battered sausage, you’re in for a treat at the Proper Pie Company. In addition to great fish and chips, you’ll also be able to try their famous flaky pies. They offer steak, potato and Guinness, shepherds, and cordon bleu pies.
Country Chicken & Fish
Country Chicken & Fish is an ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it family restaurant that delivers what you’re looking for. You’ll find that they put care into their creations, whether you order the fried catfish and fries, or any of their other Southern comfort food items. This affordable restaurant and their chicken and fish options make it one of our favorite places to take the family for a filling, tasty meal.
Krab Kingz Seafood
Though they’re most well-known for the crab legs, Krab Kingz Seafood is one of our favorite restaurants to get a plate of quality fish and chips. Their fried fish platter comes with three fish strips, fries, and coleslaw, and it’s worth every penny. You’ll also find a shrimp platter, fish and shrimp platter, and an all-encompassing lobster, fish, and shrimp platter if you’re feeling very hungry or want to split a meal with someone. This new restaurant has quickly become a go-to destination for seafood in the area.
Each of these restaurants offers its own spin on the classic fish and chips dish, so give yourself time to try each. Let us know which are your favorite — especially if they’re not on this list. We’re always looking for a new place to get our fish and chips.
