St. Justin Martyr has the best baked fish in town-I've been trying to snag the recipe for years. The fried fish is also outstanding they prepare the batter and dip it fresh on the day of the fish fry! Dot's cole slaw is homemade- the recipe contains almonds and ramen noodles. There's also cheese pizza and mac and cheese for the kiddos! Only two more left... March 2nd and March 23rd!

St. Matthias on Buckley Road. No square fish patties there. Their cod is fresh cut, battered and fried. The portions are generous. There are enough choices on the sides to suit any taste. Friendly workers and a dinner priced at less than $8.00.

Well it's not South County, but definitely worth the trip. Most Sacred Heart in Eureka, right at 109 & Hwy 44. I've NEVER tasted better

St. Matthias the Apostle on Buckley Road hosts the best fish fry. Best bang for your buck. Senior citizen discount. Mac and cheese is a crowd pleaser for young and old. Hand sliced cod melts in your mouth and the fried shrimp is amazing. Can't decide cod or shrimp? get combo plate for same price. Plenty of parking and seating, no steps, and carryouts are available . See you March 9th from 4-7pm.

The St. Matthias Fish Fry has the best fish.
I travel from Mesa, Arizona every year to indulge.
Also love the cole slaw and hush puppies!
Don't miss out on the best fish this side of the Mississippi!
