Some folks might balk at the idea of a fish sandwich in Tennessee. The state is landlocked, after wall. For some, that comes as a solid road block. For others? It's just a challenge. Tucked away in North Nashville, Ed's Fish House is a humble, locally owned eatery that boasts one of the best fish sandwiches in the city, as well as the state. If you haven't been for their fish sandwich, the kind that hearkens old traditions and the simple indulgence of a New England lunchtime staple, then it's about time to make a trip.
Ed's Fish House has been operating under local ownership in Nashville, Tennessee since 1972. It's a true local establishment that whets the appetite for just a handful of dollars.
A unique and low-key eatery, Ed's has been voted as boasting the best fish sandwich in Nashville multiple times.
Come, order at the counter, and indulge in whiting or catfish sandwiches that are fried to order. Whether you're looking for a catfish basket or a sandwich, make sure to snag a side of fries as well.
The famous whiting sandwich has been served on-site since Ed's opening in 1972. It comes with four freshly fried filets and lightly fried with Ed's signature cornmeal seasoning.
It's a humble sandwich, but a good one. The freshly fried fish is served with yellow mustard, hot sauce, white onions and dill pickle slices, all between two slices of classic white bread.
The catfish sandwich comes with two fried filets, and both the catfish and whiting has a fantastic fish plate and basket on the menu, if you'd rather.
Will you be visiting? Make sure to come by during opening hours, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. Keep in mind, Ed's is closed on Sundays!
