PassTime Fish House: Dive into a Seafood Haven in Louisville

What can I say if you want some of the best seafood and aren't put off by a hole in the wall atmosphere this is your place. Fresh seafood from cod to frog legs at a price that makes your wallet happy. It's hard to not do the seafood platter which includes a huge filet of fish, large oysters, nice size shrimp with fries and slaw for under 28 dollars it's enough for two. You would pay a extra 20 at Red lobster for less quality. I'll be back again soon.

Hey everybody, Passtime is still the best fish sandwich in town, but let it be known: Every Friday at around 2:15, they stop cooking for 2 hours to change the fryer oil. The exact time is variable so you might want to call to be sure they are cooking when you want to go. So now you know!

Today we decided to meet some friends and get some fish at Pass Time. We've eaten here before and the fish was always good. This is a seat yourself, offer at the bar and strictly cash. My wife ordered the Cod Fish sandwich. It was a huge piece of fish served on a slice of bread and chips. I got the Fish Platter, a huge piece of fish, lightly breaded Oysters and Shrimp with Coleslaw and Fries . Everything was served hot, fresh and delicious. The servings are large so you get plenty to eat.

Hidden gem! If it wasn't for a friend's recommendation, we would have never known about this place. They don't advertise, it's strictly by word of mouth. It's a little hard to find, but wow, what a hidden gem! It's hard to find really good fried seafood around the area, but this place makes you feel like you're eating seafood on the coast. The food came out piping hot and seasoned to perfection. Our waiter was a gem too. If you like fried seafood, don't miss it!

I was craving some fried fish but wanted a spot/fish I haven't had before and decided to go to this place. I had heard about it for years and knew exactly where it was, as I've driven by their sign numerous times. It's definitely tucked back in a weird location, so much so that my boyfriend was questioning where I was taking him once we turned at the sign. However, hole in the wall joints are always a joy to visit. This was a Sunday night, Selection Sunday to be exact, so the restaurant wasn't too busy. I knew they would have tvs because we wanted to watch the Selection Show and they had plenty of tvs around... only one of which was on the Show so we sat near that one. Could be a decent spot to watch a ball game though. Ordering was done at the bar and it was cash only. We didn't have cash but they had an ATM available. We ordered and sat wherever we liked... didn't even pay at that moment, which I thought was odd. No service at the tables this night, perhaps they do on busier nights, I'm not sure. Anyhow, we both had fish plates, served with nice size pieces of fish, fries, and cole slaw. The fish was really good but I loved the fries... they just had a good flavor. Good little spot for some good fish on the east side of town.

When I walked into PassTime Fish House my first thought was "I wish I had a flashlight". It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the rather dark interior lit by beer neon signs. But I had no trouble focusing on the menu once I acclimated to the rustic decor. There's a significant beer on tap menu. And for a business with "Fish" in its name, there's plenty of options for landlubbers, including BLT, Grilled Cheese, burgers and the J-Town Ribeye, also known as fried bologna. My entire group went with the fish platter. Fried fish, fries & slaw with your choice of bread in case you want to make a sandwich. I'm talking about a huge slab of fried cod. It literally hung over the plate. The fish was perfect. Moist, flaky, with a crisp coating that wasn't greasy or too heavy. Delicious. And served piping hot. Even the fries were hot and crisp. If you're looking for gourmet-this isn't your spot. But for great fried fish you'd have a tough time finding somewhere better. My only "ding" is one poor server covered the entire dining area. She busted her butt, still, she couldn't be everywhere at the same time. So, getting a tea refill was a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, she was happy to bring additional beers to the table on a timely basis. A minor complaint. My biggest challenge was waddling out after a huge lunch.
