The great thing about fish and seafood is that you don’t need to go to a fancy restaurant to find the best out there. More than any other type of food, it’s about the raw ingredients and the skill at cookery – and you can find some hidden gems in unlikely locations. To find the best fried fish in Iowa, you want to head to Waterloo to a humble fish shack not far from the Cedar River. Cedar Valley Fish Market is a working fish market, but they also run a second business for casual fish and seafood takeout. Most of the fare is simple – perfectly-fried pieces of fresh fish and seafood, with sides and toppings that make it sing – but you can also find some unexpected specialties. No matter the time of the year, it’s the best place around to enjoy the river’s fresh catch.
