We’ve all been there. Starving, we wolf down a meal we grabbed from the local fast food joint. Within a few hours, however, we can feel our stomach beginning to grumble, complaining of hunger again. On the other hand, there are some meals that just fill us up and leave us stuffed for the rest of the day. If that’s the kind of meal you crave, order the best fish sandwich in Pittsburgh at this unassuming restaurant.
Work up a hearty appetite before you sit down for a meal at Emil's Lounge, in Rankin, perhaps best known for its famous fish sandwich.

Someone in your party not a big fan of fish, or maybe that's you? Not to worry! Emil's menu boasts an assortment of scrumptious sandwiches, including burgers and corned beef.
However, if you're craving an old-fashioned home-cooked meal, try one of the filling seafood entrees — catfish, broiled salmon, or steamed shrimp. Emil's Lounge also serves steaks cooked just the way you like.
Sometimes, though, we just need an authentic Italian meal. Make sure you visit on Thursdays for Italian night for a spaghetti dish, a hot sausage hoagie, or a meatball hoagie.
Sink your teeth into a delicious fish sandwich at Emil's Lounge, open Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Who do you think serves the best fish sandwich in Pittsburgh? If you like huge fish sandwiches like Emil’s Lounge serves, you’ll definitely also want to visit Original Oyster House in Pittsburgh. It, too, serves a massive (and massively delicious) fish sandwich.
