Was down to see my parents a Hawaiian Isle RV Resort, and they suggested this place to eat. The fish was fresh and awsome. I dont eat alot of fish and found this very much to my likeing. If you are in the area you must try it.

If you don't care about comfortable seating and atmosphere and want good fried seafood at a very fair price this is your place. Shared picnic tables, and very rustic, but I loved the basic fish dinner. They offer a large version for about $3 more--I struggled to finish the basic one--I thought the portions were generous. Wife had the combo... More

We passed by this little "shack" while staying at the Little Harbor Resort. We figured that from the looks and how busy it was it was probably an awesome place to eat. The food was good, but the grouper sandwiches we got had 3 little tiny filets on a bun...not really what we expected for the price. Needless to say... More

The Fish House is a no-frills eatery with outside seating and orders taken at the window. The fish and seafood are very fresh, with a light breading. Side orders nothing special, but the seafood is great with large portions. Thursday-Saturday, take your drinks or bottle of wine and enjoy fresh fish and seafood at their picnic tables, reminiscent of the... More

We came here a couple of weeks ago near closing time on a Saturday night and everything was excellent. The price is right, the portions are generous and the staff is very friendly and you can tell they care! They were on their game! Busy, but not negligent.

Great food and great price. The fried shrimp were delicious. Just be prepared to sit outside on picnic benches!

This very casual place features outdoor dining or takeout. The food is very lightly battered. The soft shell crab is good and yes you eat the whole thing.

When our hosts turned in to The Fish House in Ruskin a couple of years ago, we were not exactly sold on the place. It's not all that pretty. We were so wrong. Every time we go to Tampa now, we plan our itinerary around a trip to The Fish House for one of their fish sandwiches.
