Tried the Fish House this week while in Pensacola and it was DELICIOUS! Tons of seating indoor and out. Great view of the water and Pensacola Bay Bridge. The sautéed crab claws were divine. Their house special Grits a Ya Ya was seriously delicious. I also loved their strawberry salad; tasted like a summer party in your mouth.
Heard this was also the best place for oysters but unfortunately they aren't doing oysters right now. Will have to go back and try them another time.
