"A night on the town may sometimes end in a binge-eating session, and few things are as scarfable as the fried specialties at this South Side eatery. Enjoy shrimp — ranging from jumbo-sized to coconut — or golden pieces of catfish, cod, and perch. Lawrence’s has multiple locations and the Canal Street restaurant has outdoor seating and is open 24 hours." - Jeffy Mai
"Satisfy those late-night cravings with fried seafood at this 24-hour spot. Lawrence’s Fish and Shrimp has fried up crispy shrimp, fish, oysters, scallops, clam strips, and more since 1950, and still uses the original family hot sauce recipe. The restaurant has a dock behind the building to cater to boaters and kayakers and rents a pontoon for cruising down the Chicago River. Order online here." - Sam Nelson
"Lawrence Fish Market, one of our favorite spots for an affordable sushi feast, opened a second location. Besides the nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and trays they’re known for, the new Armour Square spot will have a longer menu—including ramen—and you can dine-in." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen

"Lawrence’s is an old-school 24-hour seafood spot on the Canal Street bridge that’s been open in Chinatown since the ‘50s. And Lawrence’s is all about fried seafood, so you’ve got to be in the mood for exactly that when you go, which is kind of a rule when it comes to eating a ton of crispy battered sea creatures. Large fried shrimp are their specialty, but oysters, clam strips, popcorn shrimp, and catfish are all appropriate choices." - veda kilaru
