Tucked into the heart of Baymeadows Road, Jax Fish Fry is more than just a seafood joint — it’s a local legend in the making. Located at 8380 Baymeadows Rd Suite #8, this Jacksonville favorite is where New England flavors meet laid-back Florida charm. With its small-but-mighty menu, fresh ingredients, and undeniable character, Jax Fish Fry is redefining what casual seafood dining looks like in the River City.
Big Flavors, Small Menu, No Fuss
One thing fans agree on? Simplicity done right. The no-frills menu makes ordering easy, and the food speaks volumes. “The lobster roll is hands-down the best value for money in the city!” says James, who sings the praises of the buttery, rich lobster roll and crispy cod at the Baymeadows location. Nicole had her very first lobster roll here and was blown away: “It was moist, rich, and full of lumpy chunks of sweet lobster.” Paired with their golden, crinkle-cut fries or lightly battered clams, this roll is a must-try for seafood lovers.
Sea-to-Table Freshness & Flavor
Jax Fish Fry shines in its commitment to freshness. The fried shrimp basket has fans raving, including Theresa who said, “These shrimp are big, fresh, plump, and juicy! I love when a place serves fresh, not farmed shrimp, and these were legit!” From flaky cod sandwiches to crunchy fried oysters and tender clams, every bite feels like it came straight off the boat. And don’t sleep on the hushpuppies — especially the sweet corn variety that Theresa couldn’t get enough of.
Sweet Endings & Southern Comfort
As if the seafood wasn’t enough, desserts here are homemade and unforgettable. Theresa declared, “That damn cheesecake! OMG! This one was cookie dough something or other… just make sure if I’m ever on life support it can be injected into my IV and I’ll be all good.” The chocolate cake? Moist, decadent, and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth (even those who say they’re “not into chocolate”). The rotating dessert menu is a surprise worth sticking around for.
Local Vibes, Lasting Impressions
The Baymeadows location offers a warm, casual setting that feels authentically Jacksonville — relaxed, friendly, and full of flavor. With additional seating outdoors and fast, friendly service, it’s perfect for a quick lunch or a chill weekend bite. It’s the kind of place you discover once and keep coming back to.
