Detroit is heaven for foodies – it’s a town where you can find the best of everything: burgers, pizza, fine dining, and more. If fresh-from-the-boat seafood is what you’re craving, a little restaurant has you covered. The Detroit Fish House Steak & Oyster Bar has all the delicious fish you desire, wonderful steaks, and a relaxing outdoor patio that’s perfect for warm days. Here’s why you need to make plans to visit the Fish House.
You’ll find the Detroit Fish House Steak & Oyster Bar on the far north side of Detroit in Shelby Township, about 40 minutes from downtown. It’s worth the drive.
The Fish House was conceived because the owners believed that the area needed a seafood restaurant with an oyster bar that focused on fresh fish, shellfish, and more.
If you’re hoping to find a restaurant that just douses everything in thick batter and dumps it in the fryer, you might be happier elsewhere. The dishes are creations that are crafted - this is a place where the calamari is flash fried, so it retains all of its flavorful goodness.
You’ll find seafood and dishes from all over the world; South African lobster tail, Chilean sea bass, and Maryland-style crab cakes are just a few of the menu’s decadent items. If fish isn’t your thing, you’ll find some steaks worth savoring.
The restaurant’s spacious patio is the perfect place to enjoy a meal on a warm Michigan evening. You might consider lingering with some fresh oysters or some spicy Jamaican jerk fish bites.
Wash all of this goodness down with something from the bar. The restaurant has a fantastic beer list, as well as 60 wines to choose from and a wonderful assortment of craft cocktails.
