Eadies Fish House

Loved the ambience they have created here. It reminds me of a few of the dockside seafood joints I've been to in Florida and the Carolinas. The place is small with very little waiting area, but the fact that they need it counts for something. This was our third attempt to try it, but the first that people weren't waiting outside.

We had beer batter fish sandwiches with fries and hush puppies. The fish was good, though in my opinion not as good as Tim's Tavern (although I haven't been to Tim's for some time). The hush puppies were very good, but could use a dipping sauce like they serve in the Carolina seafood houses.

They have a decent beverage menu and the service was efficient and pleasant.

I will be giving this place another try, but I have to be honest about what happened today.

I was sent there because they have "the best coney in North Canton.' That is not my quote, that is what I was told. So despite it being a fish place I wanted to try the coney.

I understand that was my choice and my fault, but be that as it may that's what went down.

The bun is average, the dog itself was nice and salty, which is good because that coney sauce is ketchup (a word which here means sugar) and ground beef. So, so, so sweet. I'm not into that. Chili is a meat based dish and as such is a savory dish, it shouldn't be so sweet that I salt and mustard it to cut the sugar.

The onion rings looked pretty good, a little over cooked, but still good. The taste however... I tasted no onion, which is not okay. I want  to taste onions in my ring, otherwise i'm just eating fried batter, which might be okay if the batter in question had some flavor. Sigh. This looks like some flour and seltzer (it's a tempura style batter) were swished together w/ nary a thought of salt or pepper or some such flavor being introduced. Blegh.

The rings were served with a house sauce. I think it is supposed to be like Outback's  "bloom sauce" in that it is pink, but the resemblance ends there. I salted and peppered that to high heaven trying to inject some life into it.

Also, the cook came out to the porch for a smoke break, which meant I, the non-smoker, dining patron, took a smoke break with him. My coney had a decidedly carcinogenic aftertaste to it as such. Yay.

I'll be back to try the fish (though I'm concerned about the batter) and the crab cakes, but I will warn you friends, this is not the best coney in North Canton. There's a Sonic in North Canton and I'd rather eat myself to death on their footlongs Seven style than have another coney from Eadie's.

Eadie's Seafood, the best seafood I have had in the Northeast Ohio area!  If you enjoy seafood and also prefer a southern style environment, this is the place to go.  Their prices are reasonable and they have quality food. A definite must try...

Be sure to try the crab cakes and key lime pie :-)
