Shark's Seafood & Deli

I just left Shark's. The shrimp and fish was delicious . But the fries was dry.

The "Scampi Combo" (cajun-style) at this place is perhaps my absolute favorite meal on God's green earth. That is saying a whole lot.  And really, this is all you need to know.

But I love this carryout, so I will go further.

If it is seafood you want and you are in Cleveland, do not spend $100 on dinner at Blue Point; do NOT waste your money at the fancy Pier W. No Mitchell's or McCormick and Scmicks nor Red Lobster.

Spend your 20 dollar bill at Sharks and fall in love with their delicious fried Orange Roughy, Red Snapper, perfectly fried shrimp, spectacular jumbo shrimp scampi or any number of other FRSH seafood options on their list.

You order a fish dinner, you SEE them select your fish from the fresh case and prepare it.

Oh, and the bonus hush puppies. Never cared for those until Sharks.

Hurry, please.

In addition to the honestly spectacular food, Sharks is sparkling CLEAN. Pristine. Well-run. It is worth a drive across town. And it is worth going out of your way if you are visiting from out of town.

We kept driving down Lee Rd and seeing this place called Sharks with a parking lot that was perennially packed. We had no idea what was inside, but figuring that everyone else was in on this place we decided we should be too.

Boy are we glad we did (though our hearts might not be). This place is fried food heaven. The wings are amazing, but they don't sauce them. Just straight up fried chicken wings. All of the fish we've tried is also awesome. This place rocks. Take-out only.
