Found this place on a whim by looking at Google maps. Ever since a trip to the Midwest to a small fish shack, I've been looking for something similar and this place fit the bill from head to toe. Grabbed the small serving of catfish fillet with strawberry cake, boyfriend got the small serving of tilapia with peach cobbler. Both came with generous portions (6-7 pieces of fish on a heaping basket of fries with two slices of bread chilling atop it all) and only took about ten minutes to make. Chatting with the proprietor, he guaranteed I would be back, and honestly? He knows his stuff. I intend to bring my friends here soon to try it out. This is as close to southern fried fish as you'll get. Crispy, perfectly cooked fish, no fishy flavor, just delicious flakey tender meat with a cornmeal crisp, and no overly greasy feeling on anything. Once I got home I grabbed some pickles, sliced up some fresh onion, and dug in. This place is incredible, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. All in all, it was $30 and I tossed in a $5 tip. Place is To go only, cash only, as many great hole in the wall institutions in the city would be. I will be back for more, and am only disappointed that I've lived in the city for ten years and just found this place, and it's not even a 10 minute drive from me. Try this place if you get a chance. Oh, and if the door is locked, just knock, they let me in at 5:30 on a Friday night and locked the doors, but are open for those hungry enough to ask.

Good food here with nice portions. I prefer corn flour over corn meal. That's why 4 stars. Location is in the hood and you will see the locals hanging out but don't let that deter you. You will see door open thats it no address on wall. Good food in here and they have deserts and can sodas. Faint smell of bleach because they wipe down and mop regularly. Cool spot you want be disappointed. Take out only

Old facility and a hole in the wall, but the people are great, and food still tastes the same as it did in the 80s and 90s, which is really good.

Best fish and chips in San Francisco. Been open since 1972. In a restaurant inclined city, that longevity speaks volumes. Many varieties of fish and big chicken wings. Fried to perfection!! Worth the trip to the Southern end of the city. Call ahead so you can walk right in pick up your order and keep moving. Everything is cooked to order.
