Captain Hook's Fish & Chicken

I drive by here almost everyday and I can't believe I just recently tried this place for the first time! I had a very strong craving for fried catfish and fries, nothing else would suffice.  I check my handy dandy yelp app for "Fish and Chips" in the West Loop, and lo and behold, 4-star rated Captain Hook's Fish & Chicken came up!

It's located in the Jewel Shopping Center on Roosevelt and Ashland, so parking is a breeze. They have a plentiful amount of $5 meals, ranging from fried catfish, to chicken nuggets, to shrimp and all are served with fries.  I got two HUMONGOUS pieces of catfish fillets with fries for only $5! Portions are quite generous and I could barely finish one fillet!

The breading is light, not too heavy at all and it's served with hot sauce (mild if requested).  I thoroughly enjoyed my cheap yet delicious meal. If I had one small tiny complaint, it might be that the breading and fries are a tad too salty for my taste, but that didn't stop me from devouring my meal.  And for only $5, it was more than worth it.  I'm definitely coming back!

Okay perhaps this is premature but I'm headed to CHF&C right now.  10 mins Erica said my order will be ready.  If the food is anything close to her patience and help it will be worth the calories!

Erica was great about helping me get the combo I wanted for the amount of food I wanted -- 10 shrimp was just TOO MUCH!  I feel the blood in my arteries coagulating but hopefully it will be worth it!  

Thank you!

This location has fast  and cheap delivery but is not as tasty as the 87th location. The food was ok but it wasn't as well seasoned. I ordered large orders of catfish, legs/thighs and wings. The chicken pieces were so small that many had barely any meat in the bones! Very disappointing!

I know for next time to ask them tonfrynthe fish "hard" because there was no crunch when we bit into it...again I never had to think of this at the other location but oh well.
