Enjoy The Freshest Lake Erie Perch At This One-Of-A-Kind Seafood Restaurant In Ohio
You don’t have to head to the coast for fresh seafood. Ohio, in all its Lake Erie glory, has some of the best seafood restaurants in the country! Whether you’re into Walleye or Lake Erie Perch, there is a bounty to be had along the Third Coast. In Port Clinton, for example, there is a one-of-a-kind seafood restaurant that’s known for serving up the freshest and best Lake Erie Perch in Ohio.
Fresh, fried fish is a fan favorite that, whether you're dining at a lobster shack in Maine, a seafood spot on the Oregon Coast, or casual eatery on the Florida Gulf, is the kind of deliciously simple fare folks crave.
...instead, head to Jolly Roger's Seafood House, an unassuming sea shack in Port Clinton that's been serving up the freshest, finest seafood in Ohio for more than 40 years.
Jolly Roger's is known far and wide for their Lake Erie Perch, and this fresh catch truly is the restaurant's signature, pride and joy, cult favorite... everything!
When we say "fresh" Lake Erie Perch -- we mean it! This seafood shack is literally located right on the lake, so you can rest assured you're dining on the freshest fish possible.
Jolly Roger's Perch Sandwich is a revelation that, when paired with a hearty bowl of clam chowder, will have you in utter disbelieve that yes, you are still in Ohio!
Speaking of which -- and we mean no disrespect to Maine or Massachusetts -- the lobster rolls from Jolly Roger's are to die for. Bursting with succulent lobster meat and the perfect ratio of filling to bun, you'll be in a happy food coma while tucking into this bad boy!
Really, though, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu at Jolly Roger's; and, as we *are* in Ohio, we humbly suggest giving the fresh Lake Erie Perch a try!
