Od's Fish House

This is not a sit down restaurant. There are not many tables inside and it's dark. I bought a bottle of Goya Guava juice and had it ready to drink with this delicious food in the car. I never heard my husband make so many noises while he was eating and smacking his lips... Wow. I could not finish my shrimp and took home that & the mac, seafood salad, and potato salad home. I'll finish the sides tonight. Candied yams were to die for... The fried fish & shrimps were so good hot. The sides were scrumptious and it was like Thanksgiving. Potato salad a little bland so we'll get the fried hand cut potatoes (he showed us!) and fried okra next time! We don't usually eat at American cuisine restaurants except for diners for breakfast, but this food is so good that we'll probably come here twice a month. If this restaurant/carry out was near our home off 39 then the new Cafe Fresco would lose money and everyone would go here instead.

Found this place while in town for a concert and loved it. The fish was all fresh and cooked to order with a cornflour breading, the salmon nuggets have a nice spicy heat to them, the candied yams were beautifully caramelized, and the hush puppies were nice and crispy on the outside. The owner clearly put a lot of time and effort into having fresh, good quality food, and it shows. While there is some indoor seating, it is more of a takeout place. Everything was well packaged to prevent leaking during travel and stayed warm.

If I could just say WOW! That would not even be close to how great this place is. From my first step in the door the owner greeted me, told him I was a first timer and he immediately offered a sample of all the sides! Greens, sweet potato, Mac and cheese, potato salad, seafood salad, green beans!! Every single side was phenomenally prepared, those Greens!! Lord have mercy!!! Then he showed me the different fish, explained they are fresh daily. I got a massive lump crab cake, I don’t think it had any filler, all crab, excellent! Two! Whiting fish fillets, they were huge, for the price I paid I would have been happy with one fillet. The desserts, all home made, so many to choose from, I was going carrot and a local told me to try another and she was spot on, don’t recall the name but it had bananas and pineapple, the frosting! So good, the slice of cake must have weighed a pound, so dense. I’ve eaten around the world and this little place is some of the best food I’ve had anywhere. The best part, the owner, he’s a great human, loves what he does, loves showing you what is what and just a genuine awesome person. We need ore places like this! I’ll probably eat here all 3 days I’m in town.

This place save me , i was craving fish and We just love the place , What ever I am going to say ! That would not even be close to how awesome this place is. For my first step in the door the owner greeted me and I told him it’s my first time here he immediately offered a sample of all the sides to try. We love the food and we really enjoyed it. The owner is so nice, and he loves what he does and also loves showing you what is what and just an awesome person. Ofc is not my last time . Highly recommended

OD is a most pleasant gentleman offering samples to 1st timers, sharing many delicious sides, then showing all the scrumptious homemade desserts. The hummingbird cake lives up to the reputation of these reviews and is absolutely amazing. Red velvet, coconut & chocolate iced yellow cake were thickly iced and nicely portioned alternates. I had the $12 portion of fresh cut catfish nuggets and was not disappointed. OD's also makes fresh cut fries and fried okra. I'm sure I'll stop in again when in that part of town. Just Google map it. 🙂

Absolutely great place for your fried seafood needs!! The best I've had in a very long time from any establishment in Harrisburg. OD puts his heart in his food. The passion and taste is there. The old cliche, "the way to man's heart is through his stomach" goes for women too! I so happen to be one of those women! ☺️ Thank you, OD. Your food is great! Immaculate customer service as well.

Od's Fish house is one of the BEST places to go for some good , well cooked fish and he shows you what your getting as well. Food has all his flavor to it that makes it worth coming back every single time. Attention Dont Sleep On This Place !!! Also don't forget to get the lemonade, you won't regret it !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is hands down the tastiest fish fry & soul food I've ever had. Crispy, juicy, well-seasoned, & FRESH! All of the sides were scrumptious too and everything is homemade, so you can definitely taste the quality. And the service was top notch🎣 Upon entering & hearing it's my first time, the owner, Otis gave me a sample of all the sides as he shared the love he had for what he does. He's a kind & humble gentleman who clearly puts his heart and soul into the business (& his food, of course!) Unfortunately, he told me next week 11/24 is their last week open💔 While they've consistently ranked #1 Best Seafood in Harrisburg over the years, they just aren't getting enough customers these days. Do yourself a favor and grab a meal here ASAP! You don't find places like this anymore, so I hope they'll be able to stay open. From food to people & eatin' GOOD, Od's Fish House is the place to go 10/10. 🍽️ Harrisburg locals (& visitors from afar) ~ Please come out to support!
