J & J Fish and Chicken

The best chicken and shrimp combo on the south side! Now if they would take down the bulletproof glass, get rid of loitering, a coat of fresh paint and new floors it MIGHTbe inviting! LOL!!!!

ok so after I managed to find myself at another adventure ( or misadventure) I saw this fish shack right by the green line station at 43rd

I went right into this place and I thought it was one of those remittance places because everything was behind glass.

so since I got myself lost already, what the heck might as well go for the goods. I was looking over the menu and the pictures that they have on the walls. everything here is fried heaven! fried catfish, fried shrimps, fried perch, fried chicken and more fried stuff!

I went for the fried catfish nuggets for 7 bucks and headed back onto the train. in my seat, i opened up my bagged package of fried goodness! and the catfish nuggets were the most crispiest and flavorful catfish nuggets I have ever tried! and as a bonus, the fries were cooked to perfection. crisp on the outside, soft and real potaoey goodness inside!

i wouldn't mind getting lost again one of these days for this kind of real  and straightforward food!

btw, HUGE portions too!

p.s don't complain about the ambience. it's ZERO :)
