About This Place

Located conveniently in North Port, Florida, Sharks Fish House Restaurant is a beloved seafood destination that perfectly captures the essence of fresh, coastal flavors with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Specializing in seafood fare, this local gem offers a menu brimming with crowd-pleasers such as the crispy Shrimp Basket, succulent Crab Cakes, and the delightfully crunchy Coconut Shrimp Basket. For those craving variety, the Create Your Own Fried Combo provides endless opportunities to tailor your meal exactly to your taste buds, featuring options like the Cod Loin Basket and the ever-comforting Fried Shrimp with Onion Rings. Not to be missed are their unique preparations like the Morue Grillée Blackened, adding a smoky, savory twist to fresh fish that lingers on the palate.

The menu also thoughtfully embraces those looking for lighter fare or a refreshing contrast with tasty salads such as the Blackened Basa Salad or the classic Chicken Tender Salad. Each dish pairs wonderfully with sides like the golden Hush Puppies or creamy coleslaw, which customers can opt to swap for onion rings for a more indulgent crunch.

As one patron, Nicol Martin, enthused, “Thursday night live music, good food and fantastic atmosphere. Date night great.” Diners consistently praise not just the food but the sincere hospitality – their servers, like the highly recommended Ashley, bring warmth and attentiveness that elevate the entire dining experience. Lance LaGrave noted the restaurant’s ability to maintain excellent service even amidst busy dinner rushes, a true testament to their dedicated team.

    This place is PERFECT for a quick bite!!! The food is amazing, and you can tell it’s fresh. The staff is super welcoming and friendly, and always made sure we had everything. Our server, Ashley, was 10/10. Ask for her section if you want the best! It’s also so affordable, we can take the whole family. We will be back!!!

    Our party of 6 arrived on Friday afternoon. We had to wait a bit for a seat, but that is no problem since they have some outdoor seating set up just for waiting. While we were outside we met some lovely people from Michigan! That was certainly a wonderful surprise!. When we were seated, our wait person gave us menus and then took our drink orders. The menu was simple and basic. No frills, but exactly what you would expect from a fish house. The place was clean and very bright and was buzzing with all the conversations going on. I ordered the haddock and shrimp (fried) with mixed vegetables rather than fries. It also came with coleslaw and you could not substitute that, but the coleslaw was delicious, so why would you? The meal was excellent and we will certainly be back. Remember to come early, there is somewhat limited parking, but people move through pretty quickly so your wait will not be long. If you are looking for a delicious, down to earth fish house, I would highly recommend this place. Prices are more than reasonable, I think you will have a great time. Check them out!

    The great reviews are all true! Such good food here and a home town atmosphere. Glad we went to Sharks while visiting FL. Got the fried haddock, clams, and shrimp ... All delicious! The hand breaded shrimp was top notch and their fish is cooked perfectly. Affordable prices was a plus.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants- and it never disappoints. Family owned and Anne makes you feel like family when you are there. The best seafood every time we go! We always get the combination dinners. #SharksFishHouse #seafood #greatfood

    Upon arrival at Shark's Fish House, we were welcomed with a warm smile and promptly seated. The restaurant offered enticing specials alongside their regular menu. We enjoyed the crispy, hand-breaded shrimp basket, which was perfectly fried and served with fries, fresh, creamy coleslaw, and hush puppies. The hand-battered fried fish basket was also excellent, accompanied by onion rings and coleslaw. Our server, Ashley, was warm and friendly, making us feel like part of the family. I highly recommend this family-owned establishment for its high-quality food and exceptional service.
