      Jimmy Guana's at the Holiday Inn Harborside has a Friday night grouper fish fry. Nice place, decent price too.

      Sorry, forgot to add that that this is Pinellas on Indian Rocks Beach

        I live in Pinellas and am also in search for a good fish fry. I've found decent "fish and chips" (i.e. cod) at Pete and Shorties ($8 or $9 on Fridays) and at Grind House (McMullen-Booth Rd. a little N. of Gulf-to-Bay) - also cod - but I would love to find a Haddock fish fry somewhere. We found a "haddock fish fry" at Cafe al Fresco in Dunedin, but the last couple visits the "haddock" seemed to morph into cod (i.e. three little planks vs. one big filet, and more of a cod texture). Not sure if I'm any help since I'm talking Pinellas, but take my comments for what they're worth. Meanwhile, if anyone can recommend a haddock fish fry place, I would be grateful.

          Fitzgerald's Irish Tavern in downtown New Port Richey has a phenomenal fish and chips that is fried haddock. Crispy batter, moist fish. Oh my.

            At Babalu's on 4th St. N in St. Pete, they have a 10 OZ. piece of haddock for $10.99 if I remember correctly. This included two sides also. The quality has been very good the times I have gotten it.

            Do you mean a restaurant or an event? I eat fried seafood about once a year and when I am craving it I head to the Crab Shack just over the Gandy bridge from Tampa.
