Sometimes you just have a hankerin' for something special to eat! I know I do. Though I do enjoy the many fine seafood restaurants we have in Tacoma I've never been a" lift your pinky" kind of eater. Gimme food that really hits you where you live...and have you noticed that too much time spent on the garnish and presentation makes the price 4 x' s higher.
Hidden away near the corner of South 19th and Martin Luther King sits The Fish House Cafe, an unassuming blue building that is home to Tacoma's best Southern style fish and chips.
My "can't go wrong order" is catfish (Southern Style) and their very own secret dipping sauce. The orders are large so you may have to wait until after your nap to eat that piece of pecan pie you asked for at the last minute.
If you want to watch the ferry come and go this is not your choice, but if down home food and a smile are calling your name, the Fish House Cafe is the place.
P.S. If you're going for lunch, call ahead, you wont be alone.
